Personality traits have been investigated as predictors of sedentary behavior, while both personality traits and anxiety sensitivity have been investigated as predictors of physical activity; however, few studies employed objective measurement of these behaviors. The current study recruited 64 young adults who completed the Anxiety Sensitivity Index-3 and NEO-Personality Inventory-3, then wore accelerometers for 1 week. Results revealed that agreeableness and anxiety sensitivity were inversely associated with moderate intensity or greater physical activity; however, none of the investigated constructs predicted sedentary time. These results highlight the importance of objective measurement when studying these behaviors and clinical implications for the identification of individuals at risk for physical activity avoidance.
人格特质一直被研究作为久坐行为的预测指标，而人格特质和焦虑敏感性都被研究作为身体活动的预测指标；然而，很少有研究采用客观测量这些行为。本研究招募了 64 名年轻成年人，他们完成了焦虑敏感性指数-3 和大五人格量表-3，然后佩戴加速度计一周。结果显示，宜人性和焦虑敏感性与中等强度或更高强度的身体活动呈负相关；然而，没有任何研究结构可以预测久坐时间。这些结果强调了在研究这些行为时进行客观测量的重要性，以及对识别有回避身体活动风险的个体的临床意义。
