Analysis of Personal Trait

Question: Discuss about the Analysis of Personal Trait. Answer: Introduction: Seligman Csikszentmihalyi (2014) stated that the personality shapes the attitude and the behavior of an individual. This analysis summarizes the relationship between the healthy attitude, healthy behavior and personality traits. Thus, the aim and objective of this study is to relate all the personality traits to the five Big Meta traits in order to identify the process by which the personality affects the healthy behavior of an individual. The five Meta traits of personality include Emotional Stability Neuroticism, Extraversion Introversion, Agreeableness Hostility, Conscientiousness Impulsivity and Open-mindedness Close-mindedness (Greenberg, 2013). A correlation analysis was conducted in order to identify the strengths and relationship direction between HAS (Health Attitude Scale), IPIP-CON (Conscientiousness score from the Mini-IPIP scales) and HB (Health Behavior). From the analysis, inter-correlations along with mean and standard deviations of each of these measures can be studied. The mean of IPIP-CON is 13.534 and the standard deviation is 2.833, whereas, the mean of HB is 48.659 and standard deviation are 8.330. It has been found that the mean of HAS is highest i.e. 57.130 and has a standard deviation of 6.768. Here two-tailed test has been performed, thus, the shared variance between IPIP-CON and HB has been reduced from 8.4%, p .001 to 3% and the regression [r (653)] is equivalent to .175, p .001. On the other hand, shared variance between CON and DV (dependent variable) reduced from 7%, p = .014 to 4% and the regression of 856 became equivalent to .201, p = .046, especially when HAS was fragmented out.
