大多数关于个性和身体活动的研究都依赖于自我报告的测量方法。本研究探讨了老年人五因素模型人格特征与客观体力活动的关系。69名参与者（Mage=80.2； SD=7.1）佩戴ActiGraph监测仪7天，完成NEO人格量表- 3上半年。外向性、亲和性和尽责性与更适度的身体活动和每天更多的步数相关，而神经质与这些身体活动测量呈负相关（Betas bb0.20）。当考虑到疾病负担和体重指数时，神经质和尽责性的关联减弱了约20%至40%，但外向性和亲和性基本不变。这些发现证实了自我报告的证据，即人格特征与老年人的身体活动水平有关。
Most studies on personality and physical activity have relied on self-report measures. This study examined the relation between Five Factor Model personality traits and objective physical activity in older adults. Sixty-nine participants (Mage=80.2; SD=7.1) wore the ActiGraph monitor for 7 days and completed the NEO Personality Inventory–3 First Half. Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Conscientiousness were associated with more moderate physical activity and more steps per day, while Neuroticism was inversely related to these physical activity measures (Betas>.20). The associations for Neuroticism and Conscientiousness were attenuated by about 20% to 40% when accounting for disease burden and body mass index but were essentially unchanged for Extraversion and Agreeableness. These findings confirm self-report evidence that personality traits are associated with physical activity levels in older adults.
