“…Within each of the five domains, there are six lowerorder facets that describe personality more specifically. Studies of more specific personality traits and health-related problems have produced important findings for many years [50]. For example, Smith, Glazer, Ruiz, and Gallo [51] found that hostility, anger, and aggressiveness are related to cardiovascular problems.…”

There is a growing body of research that links borderline personality pathology to sleep disturbance through polysomnography (PSG) and self-report studies. Twelve PSG studies are reviewed that found sleep differences in recordings of sleep parameters such as sleep continuity, non-REM sleep, and REM sleep in borderline personality disorder (BPD) patients compared to controls. Further, since the turn of the century, self-report methodology has been increasingly utilized to investigate this relationship, and findings from these studies are reviewed. The evidence suggests that borderline personality pathology is uniquely associated with sleep disturbance. Future directions for this research are discussed.

“…erally unrelated to life-events in the German Socioeconomic Panel, it was related to starting one's first job and becoming unemployed (Specht et al, 2011), and C is consistently associated with job performance (Hampson, 2012;Ozer & Benet-Martinez, 2006). It may be, though, that results from this large German sample would not generalize to the United States, where a larger percentage of the population is marginalized (e.g., impoverished) and thus more susceptible to the occurrence of life-events and their negative effects.…”

The Conscientiousness (C) of the self and significant others influences health by way of mediational chains involving socioeconomic attainment, the avoidance and neutralization of stressors, the promotion of health behaviors and the minimization of risk behaviors, and the management of symptoms and diseases. Yet, meta-analyses reveal that these associations are moderated by factors that are not well understood. We propose the Life Course of Personality Model (LCP Model), which comprises a series of hypotheses that suggest how such mediational chains are subject to 2 sources of contingency. First, the mechanisms by which C translates into health and the avoidance of risk change from early childhood to late adulthood, involving processes that are specific to phases of the life course; also, however, C influences health by way of continuous processes extending over many decades of life. Second, C may be more consequential in some social contexts than in others, and when accompanied by some constellations of personality characteristics than by others. That is, the mediational processes by which C translates into health and the avoidance of disease are likely moderated by timing, social context (including the C of others), and other aspects of the individual's personality. We consider methodological implications of the LCP Model.

“…We only assessed each construct at one time point. Longitudinal designs in which personality, situations, and behaviors can be assessed at multiple times points yield more reliable findings than cross-sectional designs that assess these constructs at a single point in time (Hampson, 2011;Nesselroade, 2007). In future research we plan to use a weekly online diary method (Bolger, Davis, & Rafaeli, 2003;Iida, Shrout, Laurenceau, & Bolger, 2012) to assess interpersonal conflict at work and CWB at Guilt Proneness and CWB 17 multiple time points.…”
