“…As a result of his study Sarıcam (2015) has found that subjective vitality also negatively related with school burnout. Finally, openness to experiences has positively associated with perceived coping ability (Penley & Tomaka, 2002). Similarly, Ryan and Frederick (1997) claimed that in vital states individual cope better with stress.…”

Se empleó un análisis de regresión jerárquica con los rasgos de personalidad big five para explicar la varianza en la vitalidad subjetiva. Los resultados muestran que la extraversión, la agradabilidad y la apertura fueron predictores significativamente positivos y el neuroticismo fue un predictor negativo de la vitalidad subjetiva, explicando el 31% del total de la rarianza. El nivel de conciencia no fue predictor significativo de la vitalidad subjetiva. Se discute la significación y las limitaciones de los resultados.

A hierarchical regression analyses was used with big five personality traits to explain variance in subjective vitality. The results showed that extraversion, agreeableness, and openness were significant positive predictors and neuroticism was significant negative predictor of subjective vitality which accounted for 31% of the total variance.

“…In our analysis, smoking, alcohol/substance misuse, and hypertension and hypercholesterolemia (biological consequences of poor diet and exercise) accounted for trivial portions of the observed effect, consistent with prior findings that health behaviors account for only a modest portion of the association between conscientiousness and health outcomes (39, 40). One suggestion is that conscientiousness people may enjoy better immune functioning (41), perhaps because their approach to life reduces stress (42, 42). Conscientiousness also predicts less cognitive decline in old age (43), which may mean that this trait has an indirect effect on health through better cognitive functioning.…”

Background Personality traits have been associated with physician-rated illness burden cross-sectionally, but longitudinal associations between personality and objective medical morbidity remain unclear. Purpose To examine associations between personality and physician-rated illness burden 4 years prospectively in older primary care patients. Method At baseline, patients (average age = 75, SD = 6.6, 62% female) completed the NEO-Five Factor Inventory. At baseline and 4 yearly follow-ups, a physician completed the Cumulative Illness Rating Scale based on medical records. Results Linear mixed effects models revealed that higher neuroticism and lower conscientiousness predicted worse average illness burden longitudinally. Relatively disagreeable persons (25th percentile) accumulated morbidity at a 33% faster rate than agreeable (75th percentile) peers. At the final follow-up, a person at the 75th percentile of neuroticism and the 25th percentile of conscientiousness and agreeableness showed morbidity comparable to a peer of average personality but 10 years older. An individual at the 25th percentile of neuroticism and 75th percentile of conscientiousness and agreeableness showed end-point illness burden comparable to a peer of average personality but 10 years younger. 21% of the morbidity associated with neuroticism was explained by total cholesterol. History of hypertension, smoking, alcohol/drug abuse, and affective symptoms of depression each explained 10% or less of the other observed personality effects. Conclusion Personality plays a non-trivial role in healthy aging among older persons. Brief personality assessment may identify at-risk older persons for closer monitoring, enhance the accuracy of medical prognosis, and provide clues for clinical interventions to promote better health.

“…Ferguson (2013a) has proposed a theoretical model for the role of personality in the illness process and identified six routes through which personality can have an influence on health (see also Bogg & Roberts, 2013 with a specific emphasis on C and the health process). One is via the stress processthe focus of this study -the prediction being that the effects of stress are more damaging for lower C individuals compared to higher C individuals (Ferguson, 2013a;O'Connor, Conner, Jones, McMillan, & Ferguson, 2009;O'Connor & O'Connor, 2004;Penley & Tomaka, 2002).…”

Objectives: Higher conscientiousness (C) predicts better health outcomes. Recent research suggests stress may play an important role in explaining this relationship. The current study aimed to establish whether C moderates the relationship between daily hassle appraisals, daily affect and physical symptoms.Design and Methods: A daily diary design was used, where participants (N=103) completed a baseline measure of C followed by a 14-day daily diary, providing daily details of hassles (primary & secondary appraisals) experienced as well as positive and negative affect and physical symptoms.Results: Hierarchical linear modelling revealed that Total C (as well as two facets of C: Order and Industriousness) moderated the relationship between stress appraisals and positive affect. Specifically, the negative association between the daily appraisal of hassles as stressful (i.e., where perceived demands outweighed perceived resources) and positive affect was stronger for lower and average levels of C, Order and Industriousness. No significant moderated effects were found for negative affect or physical symptoms. The Order facet was found to be an important factor predicting attrition.Conclusions: The current study provided evidence that C and two of its facets can moderate the relationship between hassle appraisal and positive affect. C may exert part of its influence on health by modifying the effects of daily stressors.
