Скачать или смотреть HEXACO Personality and Health: A Meta-Analysis

This empirical paper, titled "Who is healthier? A meta-analysis of the relations between the HEXACO personality domains and health outcomes," authored by Jan Luca Pletzer, Isabel Thielmann, and Ingo Zettler, addresses a long-standing interest among researchers and practitioners in the connections between fundamental personality domains and various health outcomes. While prior meta-analyses predominantly concentrated on the Big Five traits (Openness to Experience/Intellect, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism), this study presents the first meta-analysis to examine the relationships between the HEXACO domains and health.

The research is motivated by advancements in personality psychology that have put forward the HEXACO personality model as a six-dimensional representation of basic personality, challenging the comprehensiveness of the Big Five. The HEXACO model includes Honesty-Humility, Emotionality, eXtraversion, Agreeableness versus Anger, Conscientiousness, and Openness to Experience, with notable conceptual differences from the Big Five, particularly in the unique Honesty-Humility domain and distinctions within Emotionality and Agreeableness. The study argues that focusing solely on the Big Five might impede a comprehensive understanding of how basic personality relates to health.

To address this gap, the authors conducted a large-scale meta-analysis (k = 276 studies, N = 92,319 participants) focusing on three primary health categories: mental health, health behavior, and physical health. They also investigated relations with more specific health criteria within these categories. A key aspect of the methodology involved using the HEXACO Personality Inventories for personality assessment and correcting effect sizes for unreliability.
