Personality and Self-Determination of Exercise Behaviour David K
Personality and Individual Differences 36 (2004) 1921–1932 www.elsevier.com/locate/paid Personality and self-determination of exercise behaviour David K. Ingledew a,*, David Markland b, Kate E. Sheppard b a School of Psychology, University of Wales, Brigantia Building, Bangor LL7 2AS, UK b School of Sport, Health, and Exercise Sciences, University of Wales, Bangor, UK Received 13 January 2003; received in revised form 30 June 2003; accepted 11 August 2003 Abstract There is extensive evidence that personality traits are associated with health-related behaviours, but less evidence regarding the underlying mechanisms. In this study, we examined the relationships between personality and self-determination of exercise behaviour. Users of a sports centre completed personality scales (the NEO Five Factor Inventory supplemented with the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire Psych- oticism scale) and exercise self-determination scales (Behavioural Regulation in Exercise Questionnaire which measures extrinsic, introjected, identified and intrinsic forms of regulation). Analyses were restricted to 182 individuals in the maintenance stage of exercise participation. Partial correlation analysis was used to examine the relationships between each personality scale and the self-determination scales, controlling for other personality scales, gender and age. Neuroticism was associated with more introjected regulation, extraversion with more identified and intrinsic regulation, openness with less external regulation, consci- entiousness with less external regulation and more intrinsic regulation, and psychoticism with more external regulation. Relating these findings to self-determination theory (Deci & Ryan, 2000), it is speculated that extraverted individuals are able to feel self-determined because exercise can satisfy the need for relatedness, conscientious individuals because exercise can satisfy the need for competence. -
Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, and Psychoticism: Distinctive Influences of Three Personality Dimensions in Adolescence
481 British Journal of Psychology (2013), 104, 481–494 © 2012 The British Psychological Society www.wileyonlinelibrary.com Agreeableness, conscientiousness, and psychoticism: Distinctive influences of three personality dimensions in adolescence Patrick C. L. Heaven1*, Joseph Ciarrochi2, Peter Leeson3 and Emma Barkus3 1Australian Catholic University, North Sydney, Australia 2University of Western Sydney, Australia 3University of Wollongong, Australia Researchers have suggested that the psychoticism (P) personality dimension of the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire may be largely redundant with the agreeableness (A) and conscientiousness (C) constructs of the five-factor model. Little research has examined the distinctiveness of these constructs. We utilized a multi-wave, multi- method design to examine the ability of C, A, and P to uniquely predict a number of important outcomes amongst high school students. A total of 778 students (391 males, 387 females; mean age 15.41 years.) completed personality measures in Grade 10. Self- reported self-esteem, social support, health-related behaviours, religious values as well as teachers’ assessments of students, were collected 1 and 2 years later. A, C, and P were distinctive in their ability to predict these outcomes, after controlling for gender and socio-economic status as well as Grade 10 extraversion, openness, and neuroticism. The individual P items explained unique variance over and above that explained by A and C. It was concluded that P is not merely the opposite of A and C. Implications for interventions are raised. As it has been claimed that personality has important consequential outcomes (Ozer & Benet-Martinez, 2006), an important question for personality and individual difference researchers therefore is to what extent personality dimensions differ in their ability to predict outcomes. -

The Adaptive Significance of Personality Traits It Is Clear That in Order for a Trait to Have Survived, It Must Have Had Some Degree of Functionality
The Adaptive Significance of Personality Traits It is clear that in order for a trait to have survived, it must have had some degree of functionality. This suggests that shifting environmental pressures, particularly social ones, encouraged a range of variation on a number of traits (Buss, 1991). Furthermore, traits that were at one time adaptive, may be maladaptive in the present environment. We shall now examine the three and five factor models to discuss how they might have been adaptive. Neuroticism is associated with the ability to perceive and respond to environmental warnings associated with impending punishment. Being elevated on this trait makes people more vulnerable to spurious and inappropriate contingencies associated with being too sensitive to future punishment. A person who scores high on this trait, for example, might be more likely to develop a phobia. In some situations persons who score high on this trait would have a reproductive advantage. They might be more likely to avoid dangers. On the other hand, persons who scored low might be more likely to engage in reproductive behaviors that were accompanied by a risk. Males low in neuroticism could also gain reproductive advantage by engaging in high risk behaviors that increased their social status and consequently their level of attractiveness to females. Extraversion or surgency is related to the need for cortical stimulation (Eysenck, 1997). People who are extraverted become more bored more quickly. They also demonstrate faster habituation to a stimulus, especially intense stimuli. Being extraverted might be reproductively advantageous in males by motivating them to mate with many different partners, a quantitative strategy. -

Extraversion
Prepared for the Handbook of Individual Differences in Social Behavior Mark Leary & Richard Hoyle (Editors) Guilford Extraversion Joshua Wilt and William Revelle Northwestern University For at least 2500 years, some people have been described as more bold, assertive and talkative than others. For almost equally long, this set of behaviors has been thought to have a biological basis and be socially important. Although our taxometric techniques have changed and our theories of biology are more advanced, the question of the causal basis as well as the behavioral consequences of the trait dimension that has come to be called extraversion-introversion1 remains vitally important. In general, there are at least three basic characteristics of extraversion that make it important to study. First, extraversion has emerged as one of the fundamental dimensions of personality (Costa & McCrae, 1992a; Digman, 1990; H. J. Eysenck & Himmelweit, 1947; Goldberg, 1990; Norman, 1963). As such, extraversion has the potential to explain the covariation of a wide variety of behaviors, which is is one of the central concerns for the field of personality (Funder, 2001). Second, extraversion predicts effective functioning and well-being across a wide variety of domains (Ozer & Benet-Martinez, 2006) from cognitive performance (Matthews, 1992) and social endeavors (Eaton & Funder, 2003) to social economic status (Roberts, Kuncel, Shiner, Caspi, & Goldberg, 2007). Third, extraversion predicts risk and also resilience for different forms of psychopathology (Trull & Sher, 1994; Widiger, 2005). 1Although occasionally one will see extroversion-introversion, the preferred spelling in psychological re- search is extraversion-introversion. For purposes of brevity we refer to the bipolar dimension of introversion- extraversion by referring to just one end of it, extraversion. -

S Van Gestel1 and C Van Broeckhoven1 1Department of Molecular Genetics, Flanders Interuniversity Institute for Biotechnology (VIB8), University of Antwerp (UIA), Antwerpen, Belgium For centuries, scientists are intrigued by the differences in personality between individuals. As early as in the ancient Greek civilization, people tried to formulate theories to systematize this diversity. With the increased interest in behavior genetics, personality was also considered a challenging phenotype. From the early start, studies suggested a heritable component in personality. After the successes of molecular genetic studies in unraveling the genetic basis of (mostly) monogenic diseases, the focus shifted towards complex traits, including psychiatric disorders. It was observed in several studies that personality measures differed between patients with psychiatric disorders and healthy controls. Therefore, normal personality was considered a viable endophenotype in the search for genes involved in psychiatric disorders such as affective disorders, ADHD and substance dependence. Genes that were to be found in studies on personality could be candidate genes for particular psychiatric disorders. In the course of time, however the study of genes for personality turned out to be at least as hard as the search for genes involved in other complex disorders. In this review, past studies, present problems and future directions concerning the study of personality genetics are discussed. Molecular Psychiatry (2003) 8, 840–852. doi:10.1038/sj.mp.4001367 Keywords: personality; temperament; character; genetics; candidate genes; polymorphisms; susceptibility Different people have different personalities. -
