Broad personality traits may be important predictors of health behavior patterns. Two studies are reported which examined the associations between five major personality dimensions and four major health behavior dimensions. Prior associations between health behaviors and neurotic and extraverted personality tendencies generally were replicated. However, Conscientiousness and Agreeableness, two domains of personality that have received little research attention, emerged as important personality predictors of health behaviors. The results indicate that personality is a reliable predictor of health behavior patterns. It is suggested that the importance of personality has been underestimated in past research by the failure to consider appropriate health behavior criteria and the omission of important personality dimensions, such as Conscientiousness and Agreeableness, when studying health behavior patterns.
广泛的人格特质可能是健康行为模式的重要预测指标。本文报告了两项研究，探讨了五种主要人格维度与四种主要健康行为维度之间的关联。健康行为与神经质和外向型人格倾向之间先前的关联普遍得到了重复验证。然而，尽责性和宜人性这两个人格领域此前很少受到研究关注，却成为了健康行为的重要人格预测指标。结果表明，人格是健康行为模式的可靠预测指标。研究表明，过去的研究可能低估了人格的重要性，原因在于未能考虑适当的健康行为标准，以及在研究健康行为模式时遗漏了重要的人格维度，如尽责性和宜人性。
