Summary Obesity has inconsistent associations with broad personality domains, possibly because the links pertain to only some facets of these domains. Collating published and unpublished studies (N = 14 848), we meta‐analysed the associations between body mass index (BMI) and Five‐Factor Model personality domains as well as 30 Five‐Factor Model personality facets. At the domain level, BMI had a positive association with Neuroticism and a negative association with Conscientiousness domains. At the facet level, we found associations between BMI and 15 facets from all five personality domains, with only some Neuroticism and Conscientiousness facets among them. Certain personality‐BMI associations were moderated by sample properties, such as proportions of women or participants with obesity; these moderation effects were replicated in the individual‐level analysis. Finally, facet‐based personality “risk” scores accounted for 2.3% of variance in BMI in a separate sample of individuals (N = 3569), 409% more than domain‐based scores. Taken together, personality‐BMI associations are facet specific, and delineating them may help to explain obesity‐related behaviours and inform intervention designs.

“…Because personality reflects individual differences in emotion, cognition and behaviour, there are numerous pathways through which personality might be connected to sleep. For example, personality relates to lifestyle choices such as occupational pursuits, diet and physical activity (Allen, Vella, & Laborde, 2015a;Lunn, Nowson, Worsley, & Torres, 2014;Michel, Clark, & Jaramillo, 2011) that have all been found to affect the duration and quality of sleep in adulthood (Magee, Lee, & Vella, 2014;Niu et al, 2011;Yang, Ho, Chen, & Chien, 2012).…”

“…Research has examined the influence of personal determinants of health on participation in and adherence to health-promoting behavior. Behaviors, such as healthy eating and self-care, have been found to be positively affected by motivation to change (Centis et al, 2014), social support (Levesque, Li, & Pahal, 2012), personality (Lunn, Nowson, Worsley, & Torres, 2014), and self-worth and self-esteem (Huberty et al, 2014). Though, motivation and self-efficacy have also been described as important barriers to diabetes care by both patients and providers (Simmons, Lillis, Swan, & Haar, 2007).…”

The aim of the current study was to describe health care providers’ perceptions as to why individuals may or may not follow recommendations for reducing risk of developing type 2 diabetes. A grounded theory research design guided data collection and analysis. Data were collected from 16 health care providers through semi-structured interviews. Results demonstrated that health care providers perceived prevention adherence as related to individual characteristics of the patient and activities of the provider. Specifically, providers described assessment of patient-based characteristics associated with behavior, context, and traits. In addition, providers discussed giving attention to the patient-provider relationship and helping the patient incorporate small lifestyle changes. Providers might utilize social cognitive theory to understand personal and socio-structural aspects of adherence. In addition, providers should focus assessment and relationship building efforts on factors that support self-efficacy.
