Preliminary studies have documented specific personality traits being associated with eating and exercise behaviors. The present study assessed whether there was an association between personality traits (i.e., extraversion, neuroticism and conscientiousness) and exercise and eating behaviors. More specifically, it was predicted that individuals higher in extraversion and conscientiousness would be higher in exercise behavior as those compared to those higher in neuroticism would be lower in exercise behavior. In the context of eating behaviors, it was predicted that neuroticism would be positively associated with restraint eating. Lastly, it was hypothesized that there would be gender differences in restraint eating and exercise motives (i.e., weight control). Correlation analyses, independent sample t-tests, and multiple regressions were performed in order to address the hypotheses made. It was confirmed that conscientiousness was positively associated with exercise behavior. However, neuroticism and extraversion were not significantly related to exercise behavior. Furthermore, gender differences in restraint eating and exercising for weight control were observed, but, surprisingly, restraint eating scores were higher in men than women. In light of the findings, it is suggested that individual differences be taken into account when designing interventions for individuals who are trying to maintain healthy lifestyles.
