Abstract
The present article introduces the concept of reflexive characteristic adaptations within the framework of the five-factor theory of personality by R. McCrae and P. Costa. The concept deals with monitoring and processing opinions and beliefs about personality traits that individuals presumably have. Four types of the reflexive characteristic adaptations have been hypothetically proposed: trait efficacy (individuals opinions on how successful they are while responding to situations relevant to a trait), meta-trait (one’s opinion on how significant others see one’s traits), attitude toward trait (positive vs. negative evaluations of trait), meta-attitude toward trait (one’s opinions on attitudes toward the trait that significant others might have). One thousand thirty undergraduates aged from 17 to 38 years (including 339 men) fulfilled the Big Five Inventory and a number of its modifications that measured the reflexive characteristic adaptations. With few exceptions, the reflexive characteristic adaptations correlated positively with each other and the personality traits. However, multiple regression analyses revealed that meta-attitudes toward traits correlated negatively with corresponding traits while the remaining reflexive characteristic adaptations were controlled. The reflexive characteristic adaptations were shown to concern different aspects of a given personality trait and contribute to it incrementally. Future studies should address issues on mediations that reflexive characteristic adaptations may have within relationships between personality traits as basic tendencies and various external outcomes (objective biography). Another possible line of research concerns causal effects that reflexive characteristic adaptations can produce on various objective biography indicators.
