Objectives：Absorption is the mental state of operation in which a person in an activity is fully immersed in a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and success in the process of the activity. For now, there are many studies to research in specific conditions and group of occupations. Through many studies, absorption has important meanings in general and clinical fields. It is worth to know persons who are doing well at absorption have what kind of personality. So, the present investigation sought to explore the relationship between absorption and personality dimensions.
Methods：The relationship between absorption and personality dimension was investigated in a sample of 210 undergraduate students. Absorption was measured by the TAS(Tellegen Absorption Scale), personality characters was measured by the NEO-PI-R(NEO Personality Inventory Revised). We devided the students into two groups according to TAS[TAS≥16(N=95), TAS<16(N=115)]to evaluate differences in personality domains of NEO-PI-R. Chi-square test and t-test was used for differences in personality domains of NEO-PI-R and demographic variables according to variable. Pearson correlation test was used for relationship among the NEO-PI-R, TAS. We also used stepwise regression analysis to evaluate accountability of personality domains for absorption.
Results： High TAS group had higher score of Neuroticism(t=3.319, p=.002), Extraversion(t=2.063, p=.040) and Openness(t=4.054, p=.000) domain than low TAS group. TAS was correlated with score of Neuroticism(r=.136, p<.05), Extraversion(r=.215, p<.01), Openness(r=.332, p<.01) in the total samples. In the stepwise regression analysis, TAS was explained partly by Openness and Neuroticism.
Conclusion： As hypothesized, The Neuroticism, Extraversion and Openness domain accounted for the great portion of variance in the absorption. Future study, It is necessary to explore in psychiatric patients for clinical application.
