“…This search was then refined by further topics: “personality” and “facet” or “NEO PI” or “ipip‐neo” or “national character survey.” The resulting 49 titles and abstracts were scanned for detailed personality facet–obesity associations across all 30 facets. We found six candidate studies, with four using full the NEO PI‐R/3, one using a Korean shortened NEO PI‐R, and one using the IPIP‐NEO questionnaire . As this paper pool was dominated by the full NEO PI‐R/3, we based the main meta‐analysis only on this instrument for consistency.…”

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 Collating published and unpublished studies (N = 14 848), we meta‐analysed the associations between body mass index (BMI) and Five‐Factor Model personality domains as well as 30 Five‐Factor Model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.

ObjectivePrevious studies have revealed associations between disordered eating symptoms, big‐five personality traits, and psychological distress. However, limited research has explored these relationships as a network, including their interconnections, and even less has done so in non‐Western populations. We employed network analysis to investigate the co‐occurrence of disordered eating symptoms, big‐five personality traits, and psychological distress in Chinese adults.MethodA sample of 500 Chinese adults (256 men) completed measures assessing big‐five personality traits, psychological distress, and disordered eating symptoms. The network of personality traits, psychological distress, and disordered eating symptoms was estimated, including its central and bridge nodes.ResultsThe central nodes in the network were the facets of openness (like adventure), extraversion (like going to social and recreational parties), and disordered eating symptoms (dissatisfaction with body weight or shape). Moreover, certain facets of neuroticism (always worrying something bad will happen), psychological distress (feeling worthless), and an inverse facet of extraversion (bored by parties with lots of people) were identified as essential bridge nodes in maintaining the structure of the network.ConclusionOur findings suggest that personality traits (e.g., openness and extraversion) and body dissatisfaction are important in maintaining the network in a community sample of Chinese adults. While future replication is needed, findings from this study suggest that individuals with negative self‐thinking, predisposed neuroticism, and extraversion may be at risk of developing disordered eating symptoms.Public SignificanceThe present study contributes to existing knowledge by employing a network perspective to examine the associations between disordered eating symptoms, big‐five personality traits, and psychological distress in a Chinese adult community sample. The identified facets of neuroticism and extraversion and symptoms of psychological distress may be worthy of targeting in the prevention and treatment of disordered eating in the Chinese context.
