“…With regard to extraversion, previous studies have reported that women are more extraverted than men 30 , 40 . It has also been reported that higher extraversion is associated with desirable physical activity habits among women 57 . These previous findings support the association between perceived health competence and agreeableness among women revealed in the present study.…”

Perceived health competence is thought to contribute to lifelong healthy behavior. However, the factors that affect perceived health competence have not been investigated. We investigated the associations among perceived health competence, effortful control, self-control, and personality traits in university students and proposed a model of how these factors affect perceived health competence. The participants were 320 Japanese university students who completed a questionnaire regarding their height, weight, perceived health competence, effortful control, self-control, and personality traits. The three-step multiple regression analysis showed that effortful control was positively associated with the perceived health competence, and self-control was positively with, and impulsivity was inversely associated with effortful control respectively, indicating that effortful control was an intermediate factor. Structural equation modeling showed a good fit for both genders, with a common path for both genders to perceived health competence via effortful control and a different involvement of personality traits for men and women. These results suggest that effortful control is directly associated with perceived health competence; in addition, both self-control and impulsiveness are indirectly associated with perceived health competence via effortful control.

“…Positive psychosocial traits provide a variety of benefits for medical patients, including improvements in health-related maintenance, treatment compliance, and overall wellbeing (5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11). Grit, defined as passion and perseverance for longterm goals, offers potential advantages to the cancer population, as it denotes an increased ability to overcome adversity (12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17).…”

Background: Quantifying grit with the Short Grit Scale (Grit-S) has shown ability to predict success in various academic and professional domains. Grit has yet to be analyzed in patients with cancer.Methods: This study is a longitudinal analysis of prospectively distributed Grit-S surveys to patients undergoing radical or partial nephrectomy. Patients who completed a preoperative Grit-S survey with confirmed renal cell carcinoma (RCC) were included in the analysis. The relationship between preoperative grit scores and overall survival (OS) was determined using Cox proportional-hazard models and Kaplan-Meier analysis.Results: A total of 323 patients with RCC that completed the Grit-S survey prior to nephrectomy were included in the study. Median Grit score was 3.9. Most patients were male (67.5%), White (69.3%), and greater than 60 years old (57.0%) with a median age of 62 at the time of surgery. Patients scoring above or below the median grit score had similar baseline characteristics. As a binary variable, lower preoperative grit was significantly associated with shorter OS [hazard ratio (HR) =2.02, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.12-3.63, P=0.019] on multivariable analysis. Unit changes in grit were not significantly associated with OS (HR =0.77, 95% CI: 0.53-1.14, P=0.193).Conclusions: Lower grit scores may predict decreased OS in RCC patients undergoing nephrectomy.The Grit-S survey may have utility in preoperative evaluation. Further research assessing grit in other malignancies and how to psychologically optimize patients prior to surgery are needed.

Objectives: This study aims to investigate the influence of personality traits in determining the mental health of Chinese residents. To reflect the personality characteristic, a questionnaire survey has been designed with the components of agreeableness, conscientiousness, openness to experience, extraversion, and emotional stability. In addition, anxiety and depression have been mirrored in anxiety and depression items. China's diverse community members were surveyed through an online questionnaire.Methods: Smart PLS has been used to apply both measurement and structural models to empirical estimations. The measurement model's results demonstrate its reliability, convergent validity, and discriminant validity. On the other hand, the SEM method yields fruitful results. Results: It is noticed that agreeableness, consciousness, emotional stability, and openness to experience have a considerable effect on responders' mental health. Nevertheless, the negative and significant coefficients of agreeableness, emotional stability, and openness to experience indicate that they lessen mental distress and sadness. Still, conscientiousness harms these cognitive difficulties. Conclusion: These findings imply that an environment of openness to experience, emotional stability, and agreeableness must be fostered to reduce mental tension and anxiety. In addition, this work addresses a few constraints and future initiatives.
