The Impact of Big Five Personality Traits on Older Europeans’ Physical Health

Investigating the role of Big Five personality traits in relation to various health outcomes has been extensively studied. The impact of “Big Five” on physical health is here explored for older Europeans with a focus on examining age groups differences. The study sample included 378,500 respondents derived from the seventh data wave of Survey of Health, Aging and Retirement in Europe (SHARE). The physical health status of older Europeans was estimated by constructing an index considering the combined effect of well-established health indicators such as the number of chronic diseases, mobility limitations, limitations with basic and instrumental activities of daily living, and self-perceived health. This index was used for an overall physical health assessment, for which the higher the score for an individual, the worst health level. Then, through a dichotomization process applied to the retrieved Principal Component Analysis scores, a two-group discrimination (good or bad health status) of SHARE participants was obtained as regards their physical health condition, allowing for further con-structing logistic regression models to assess the predictive significance of “Big Five” and their protective role for physical health. Results showed that neuroti-cism was the most significant predictor of physical health for all age groups un-der consideration, while extraversion, agreeableness and openness were not found to significantly affect the self-reported physical health levels of midlife adults aged 50 up to 64. Older adults aged 65 up to 79 were more prone to open-ness, whereas the oldest old individuals aged 80 up to 105 were mainly affected by openness and conscientiousness. .

The purpose of current study was to investigate the relationship between Library anxiety and the Big Five personality factors (neuroticism, extraversion, openness-to-experience, agreeableness, and conscientiousness) using a multivariate approach among students in Ardabil university. The participants were students of Ardabil University of Medical Sciences of which a sample of 580 students was randomly selected. And the assessment methods were revised. The short form of NEO Inventory [1] and the library anxiety questionnaire [2] were used to gather the data. The results showed that Neuroticism increased library anxiety in students, and with increasing the level of education, library anxiety is reduced, whereas by increasing the semester the library anxiety of students increases.

Effects of Big Five, HEXACO, and Dark Triad on Counterproductive Work Behaviors: A Meta-Analysis

Purpose:This study investigates the effects of Big Five,HEXACO,and Dark Triad personality traits on counter-productive work behaviors(CWBs),and examines the moderating effects of countries where the studies were car-ried out,gender rate of samples,and scales used to measure personalities.Method:Following the rules of Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses(PRISMA),we include 74 empirical studies published between 2007 and September 2022 with 83 samples and 394 correlations.Studies are selected from both English databases such as Web of Science and Chinese databases such as CNKI.The meta-analysis and meta-regression analysis were both performed using the Comprehensive Meta-Analysis(CMA)program,version 3.7.Results:Although emotionality is irrelevant to CWBs,other Big Five,HEXACO,and Dark Triad personality factors are all significant predictors of CWBs.The effect of Dark Triad(ρ=0.412)is stronger than that of Big Five(ρ=−0.176)and HEXACO(ρ=−0.221).Gender negatively moderates the positive relationship between Dark Triad traits(total and subdimensions)and CWBs.The moderating effects of countries and scales are only signif-icant for very few personalities.Conclusion:Personality traits are important antecedents of CWBs,and gender ratio plays a role as moderator for some personality traits.We propose that organizations should pay more atten-tion to the mental health of employees and future studies could investigate other types of characteristics and moderators.
