PERSONALITY AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY CORRELATIONS 1. Introduction  A meta-analysis by Rhodes and Smith (2006) summarized 33 studies on personality and physical activity.  Found positive correlations: Conscientiousness, Extraversion  Negative correlation: Neuroticism  No correlations: Agreeableness, Openness  Heterogeneous findings across studies  Limitations in conducting moderator analyses 2. Correlation Coefficients   Small effects for:  Extraversion (β = 0.11)  Conscientiousness (β = 0.10)  Openness (β = 0.09)  Very small effects for:  Neuroticism (β = −0.07)  Agreeableness (β = 0.04) Interpretation of beta coefficients 3. Explaining Correlations  Extraversion and physical activity: Seek sensory stimulation and social contacts  Conscientiousness and physical competence  Openness and physical activity: Receptive to new experiences  Neuroticism and physical activity: Anxiety, sensitivity to intense stimuli activity: Discipline, self-regulation, 4. Meta-analysis Extension  Wilson and Dishman (2015): Included 64 studies, 88,4000 subjects  Similar findings: Positive effects for Extraversion and Conscientiousness  Very small effects for Openness and Neuroticism  No significant correlation for Agreeableness 5. Specific Physical Activity Behavior  Different physical activity behaviors have varying associations with personality traits.  Extraversion linked to high-energy, competitive, and skilled activities.  Neuroticism associated with avoiding high-intensity activities.  Research supports strong relationships between personality and specific physical activity behaviors. 6. High-Risk Physical Activities  Personality traits and high-risk sports: Sensation seeking, extraversion, impulsivity  Neuroticism inversely related to high-risk activities.  No significant associations for agreeableness and conscientiousness.  High-risk activities align with extraversion and sensation seeking. 7. Exercise Addiction  Exercise addiction related to personality traits:  Neuroticism (positive)  Extraversion (positive)  Conscientiousness (positive)  Agreeableness (negative)  Personality explains a portion of exercise addiction variance.  Reasons behind associations explained for each trait. 8. Conclusion  Personality plays a role in physical activity and exercise addiction.  Understanding these correlations individualized approaches. can inform interventions and
