Most studies on personality and physical activity have relied on self-report measures. This study examined the relation between Five Factor Model personality traits and objective physical activity in older adults. Sixty-nine participants (Mage = 80.2 years; SD = 7.1) wore the ActiGraph monitor for 7 days and completed the NEO Personality Inventory-3 First Half. Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Conscientiousness were associated with more moderate physical activity and more steps per day whereas Neuroticism was inversely related to these physical activity measures (βs > .20). The associations for Neuroticism and Conscientiousness were attenuated by approximately 20-40% when accounting for disease burden and body mass index but were essentially unchanged for Extraversion and Agreeableness. These findings confirm self-report evidence that personality traits are associated with physical activity levels in older adults. (PsycINFO Database Record
大多数关于人格与身体活动的研究都依赖于自我报告测量方法。本研究考察了大五人格模型特质与老年人客观身体活动之间的关系。69名参与者(年龄中位数=80.2岁;标准差=7.1)佩戴ActiGraph监测器7天,并完成了《大五人格量表-3》前半部分。外向性、宜人性和尽责性与更多的中等强度身体活动以及每天更多的步数相关,而神经质与这些身体活动指标呈负相关(β值>.20)。在考虑疾病负担和体重指数后,神经质和尽责性的关联减弱了约20%-40%,但外向性和宜人性的关联基本不变。这些发现证实了自我报告的证据,即人格特质与老年人的身体活动水平相关。(PsycINFO数据库记录)
