Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has shown that individuals who are high in neuroticism, high in extraversion, and low in conscientiousness are more likely to engage in behaviors that lead to weight gain, such as emotional eating and lack of impulse control. Low levels of conscientiousness can also lead to poor diet and exercise habits. Additionally, high levels of extraversion may lead to social eating and drinking. Individuals who are low in neuroticism, introversion, and high in conscientiousness are more likely to have healthier lifestyles and habits, leading to less weight gain over the lifespan. Openness-to-experience and agreeableness have not been consistently linked to weight gain.
