Child socioemotional behavior and adult temperament as predictors of physical activity and sedentary behavior in late adulthood
2023
Background Most studies investigating the association of temperament with physical activity and sedentary behavior have examined children or adolescents, employed cross-sectional or longitudinal designs that do not extend from childhood into adulthood, and utilized self- or parent-reported data on physical activity and sedentary behavior. This longitudinal study investigated whether socioemotional behavior in childhood and temperament in middle adulthood predict accelerometer-measured physical activity and sedentary behavior in late adulthood. Methods This study was based on the Jyväskylä Longitudinal Study of Personality and Social Development (JYLS). Socioemotional behavior (behavioral ac…
Associations of temperament and personality traits with frequency of physical activity in adulthood
2020
Temperament and physical activity (PA) have been examined in children and adolescents, but little is known about these associations in adulthood. Personality traits, however, are known to contribute to PA in adults. This study, which examined both temperament and personality characteristics at age 42 in relation to frequency of PA at age 50 (JYLS, n = 214-261), also found associations with temperament traits. Positive associations were found between Orienting sensitivity and overall PA and between Extraversion and vigorous PA among women and between low Negative affectivity and overall and vigorous PA among men. Furthermore, Orienting sensitivity and Agreeableness were associated with vigor…
Liikunnanopettajaksi opiskelevien temperamenttipiirteet
2015
TIIVISTELMÄ Janne Niemiaho. 2015. Liikunnanopettajiksi opiskelevien temperamenttipiirteet. Liikuntakasvatuksen laitos. Jyväskylän yliopisto. Liikuntapedagogiikan pro gradu –tutkielma. 57 s, 2 liitettä. Tämän tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli selvittää liikunnanopettajaksi opiskelevien temperamenttipiirteitä ja niiden voimakkuutta. Lisäksi tutkimuksessa oli tavoitteena selvittää, eroavatko mies- ja naisopiskelijoiden temperamenttipiirteet toisistaan ja onko opintojen suoritusvaiheella merkitystä temperamenttipiirteiden ilmenemiseen ja voimakkuuteen. Jokainen tutkimukseen osallistuja sai halutessaan omista vastauksista muodostuneen henkilökohtaisen temperamenttiprofiilin. Tutkimukseen osallistuivat…

Labor market performance of dropouts: the role of personality
2014
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to provide evidence on labor market careers of dropouts with various levels of education. Design/methodology/approach – The paper compares the labor market careers of dropouts and non-dropouts between ages 15 and 50 by using longitudinal data. The paper analyses how the results change when the authors control for differences in personality characteristics. Findings – The paper finds that dropping out diminishes one's success in the labor market but this connection is reduced when the model is augmented with personality. Dropouts seem to have or lack certain personality characteristics that are associated with labor market success. These findings sugge…
Is personality related to permanent earnings? Evidence using a twin design
2018
Using twin survey combined with register-based panel data on labor market outcomes, the authors examine the association between personality characteristics and long-term earnings among prime working-age individuals. The long-term earnings were measured over the 1990–2008 period. The sample contains 4,642 twin pairs, of which 53% are females. In contrast to previous studies, this paper uses the within-twin dimension of the data to control for shared family background and confounding genetic factors. The results suggest that unobserved genetic differences may introduce omitted variable bias in standard ordinary least square results. After controlling for shared environment and genetic backgro…
Income and Mental Well-Being : Personality Traits as Moderators
2020
Using data from the participants of the Jyväskylä Longitudinal Study of Personality and Social Development (JYLS) at ages 42 and 50 (N = 326), this study provides empirical evidence of the relation between income and mental well-being and of the possible role of personality traits in modifying this relation. The relationships were analyzed using pooled ordinary least squares (OLS; bi- and multivariate settings) and fixed effects estimations (FE; multivariate settings). Positive bivariate associations were found between gross monthly income and the sum score of mental well-being and its separate dimensions (emotional, psychological, and social well-being and the absence of depression) as wel…
