LONGITUDINAL STUDY ON PERSONALITY, HEALTH BEHAVIOR, AND HEALTH 1. Introduction  Study by Hampson et al. (2007) explores the relationship between personality, health behavior, and health.  Unique as it spans from childhood to middle adulthood. 2. Study Design  Prospective longitudinal study with 1054 participants.  Personality assessed by teachers in childhood.  Educational level, health behavior (smoking, diet, physical activity), and subjective health assessed 30-40 years later (ages 41-50). 3. Personality and Health Behavior  Extraversion positively correlated with physical activity.  Physical activity and dietary behavior were strong predictors of perceived health.  Smoking behavior negatively correlated with perceived health. 4. Educational Level  Conscientiousness and agreeableness predicted educational level.  Unexpectedly, a negative correlation was found between educational level and physical activity behavior. 5. Subjective Health  Conscientiousness and educational level directly related to subjective health.  Neuroticism showed no significant correlation with the variables examined. 6. Conclusion  Extraversion positively influences perceived health through physical activity behavior.  Physical activity and diet play significant roles in perceived health.  The relationship between educational level and physical activity warrants further investigation. 7. Implications  Longitudinal studies provide valuable insights into the interplay of personality, health behavior, and health outcomes.  Understanding these dynamics can inform interventions for healthier lifestyles.
