Abstract

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to examine the potential moderating effects of physical activity on the association between personality and anxiety. Methods: Data were collected from 200 University students from October 2015 through June 2016. In order to assess personality, the Neuroticism-Extraversion-Openness Five Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI) questionnaire was utilized. Anxiety was assessed utilizing the 5-item OASIS questionnaire. Physical activity was assessed using the validated International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). A multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the association between the personality and anxiety. Interaction analyses were computed to see if there was an interaction effect of personality and physical activity on anxiety. Results: Personality traits neuroticism (β= -0.222, 95% CI= 0.176 to 0.269, P=0.0) and openness to experience (β= 0.069, 95% CI= 0.020 to 0.119, P=0.006) were associated with higher levels of anxiety. With regard to our main objective, which was whether MVPA moderated the effects of personality on anxiety, there was no evidence of an interaction effect. Conclusion: Higher MVPA could not counter affect the negative association of neuroticism and openness on anxiety. It is plausible to suggest that personality plays a stronger role in influencing anxiety when compared to physical activity. Targeted anxiety-reducing interventions are needed among certain personality traits.
人格对焦虑的影响:体育活动的适度考虑
前言:本研究的目的是研究体育活动对人格和焦虑之间的关联的潜在调节作用。方法:从2015年10月至2016年6月对200名大学生进行调查。采用神经质-外向-开放五因素量表(NEO-FFI)进行人格评估。使用5项OASIS问卷评估焦虑。使用经验证的国际身体活动问卷(IPAQ)评估身体活动。采用多变量logistic回归分析评价人格与焦虑的关系。相互作用分析被计算出来,看看性格和身体活动是否对焦虑有相互作用。结果:人格特征神经质(β= -0.222, 95% CI= 0.176 ~ 0.269, P=0.0)和经验开放性(β= 0.069, 95% CI= 0.020 ~ 0.119, P=0.006)与较高的焦虑水平相关。至于我们的主要目标,即MVPA是否会缓和人格对焦虑的影响,没有证据表明存在相互作用效应。结论:较高的MVPA不能抵消神经质和开放性对焦虑的负相关。与身体活动相比,性格在影响焦虑方面起着更大的作用,这似乎是合理的。在某些人格特征中需要有针对性的减少焦虑的干预。
