A sedentary lifestyle is harmful for health; personality traits may contribute to physical (in)activity. With participant-level data from 16 samples (>125,000), we examined the personality correlates of physical inactivity, frequency of physical activity, and sedentary behavior (in a subset of samples). Lower Neuroticism and higher Conscientiousness were associated with more physical activity and less inactivity and sedentary behavior. Extraversion and Openness were also associated with more physical activity and less inactivity, but these traits were mostly unrelated to specific sedentary behaviors (e.g., TV watching). The results generally did not vary by age or sex. The findings support the notion that the interest, motivational, emotional, and interpersonal processes assessed by five-factor model traits partly shape the individual's engagement in physical activity.
久坐不动的生活方式对健康有害;人格特质可能会影响身体活动(或缺乏活动)情况。利用来自16个样本(超过125,000人)的参与者层面数据,我们研究了身体不活动、身体活动频率和久坐行为(在部分样本中)与人格的相关性。较低的神经质水平和较高的尽责性与更多的身体活动、更少的不活动和久坐行为相关。外向性和开放性也与更多的身体活动和更少的不活动相关,但这些特质大多与特定的久坐行为(如看电视)无关。结果总体上不因年龄或性别而有所不同。这些发现支持了这样一种观点,即五因素模型特质所评估的兴趣、动机、情感和人际过程在一定程度上塑造了个体参与身体活动的情况。
