Abstract

Prior work shows that the Big Five are associated with goals and values. However, we know less about whether personality traits are related to health values, if these associations vary by age and sex, and whether health values explain the associations between personality traits and health behaviors. Using cross-sectional and longitudinal data from a sample of Dutch adults (N = 1,986–2,876, 53% female, age = 17–91) we found that Conscientiousness, Extraversion, and Agreeableness were positively, and Openness to Experience was negatively, associated with health values. However, there were some different patterns in these associations by age and sex. Longitudinal mediation models showed that personality traits predicted physical activity and excessive alcohol consumption, but health values did not mediate the associations.
