在一项对出生队列的纵向研究中，作者确定了21岁时参与4种不同健康风险行为的青少年：酒精依赖，暴力犯罪，不安全性行为和危险驾驶习惯。在18岁时，多维人格问卷（MPQ）被用来评估10种不同的人格特质。在3岁时，使用观察措施将儿童分为不同的气质组。结果表明，类似的青少年人格特征（起源于童年）与21岁时不同的健康风险行为有关。相同的人格特质和不同的健康风险行为之间的关联并不是同一个人从事不同的健康风险行为的产物;相反，这些关联暗示了不同但相关的行为中的相同人格类型。在规划活动时，卫生专业人员可能需要设计方案，以吸引最有健康风险行为风险的人的独特心理构成。
In a longitudinal study of a birth cohort, the authors identified youth involved in each of 4 different health-risk behaviors at age 21: alcohol dependence, violent crime, unsafe sex, and dangerous driving habits. At age 18, the Multidimensional Personality Questionnaire (MPQ) was used to assess 10 distinct personality traits. At age 3, observational measures were used to classify children into distinct temperament groups. Results showed that a similar constellation of adolescent personality traits, with developmental origins in childhood, is linked to different health-risk behaviors at 21. Associations between the same personality traits and different health-risk behaviors were not an artifact of the same people engaging in different health-risk behaviors; rather, these associations implicated the same personality type in different but related behaviors. In planning campaigns, health professionals may need to design programs that appeal to the unique psychological makeup of persons most at risk for health-risk behaviors.
