| Abstract: | This study focused on whether trait openness to experience and agreeableness moderate the concurrent relationship between momentary mentalization and epistemic trust states over time utilising the Experience Sampling Method (ESM) to account for the dynamic nature of the latter constructs. A sample of 23 participants (M= 23, 65% females) completed two surveys: the first one measured their Big Five personality traits. The second survey the participants completed a 2-week ESM on mentalization and epistemic trust. A moderation analysis was conducted with the data gathered over the 2-weeks period and the intake survey. Results of the study showed a significant moderating effect of the trait openness to experience in that individuals high on openness exhibit a stronger mentalization-epistemic trust relationship. In contrast, the analysis with agreeableness as a moderator was found to be insignificant. The residual variance in both analyses was similar, indicating that there are other actors that play a role in the interaction. These findings highlight the complexity of the interplay between mentalizing, epistemic trust and personality, emphasising the importance of further research into this topic. |
