Disintegration as an Additional Trait in the Psychobiological Model of Personality

摘要: Abstract. This meta-analytic study investigates the relations between Disintegration-like phenomena (i.e., various aspects of symptomatology with prefix “schizo-,” both at clinical and subclinical level) traits Psychobiological Model Personality (PBMP). The empirically based benchmark for assuming distinctness trait Disintegration was .30. sample included 26 manuscripts 30 studies 424 effect sizes. By computing inverse sampling variance weighted mean correlation coefficients under a random-effects assumption, following associations were found Harm Avoidance, Novelty Seeking, Reward Dependence, Persistence, Self-Directedness, Cooperativeness, Self-Transcendence: .23, .04, −.15, −.02, −.23, −.16, .17, respectively. Two variables to moderate Disintegration-Self-Transcendence correlation. Despite theoretical expectation some empirical evidence that Self-Transcendence (and other character traits)...
