Personality, Health and Well-Being among Different Age Groups
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent epidemiological studies have reported consistent relationships between psychological factors, including personality, and health outcomes among different age groups. In this context, personality refers to the psychological qualities that contribute to an individual's enduring and distinctive patterns of feeling, thinking, and behaving. The relationships between personality and longevity, chronic disease, cognitive decline, mental health, physical fitness, and subjective well-being have already been clarified. However, there are some health outcomes that are not well-known to be related to personality but considered important (e.g., social isolation, care giving burden, coping skills for stressful life events, and frailty), and the detailed pathways from personality to health outcomes remain unclear. This topic aims to contribute to our knowledge of the relationship between individual psychological factors (including personality) and the health and well-being, in addition to elucidating the mechanisms underlying these relationships (e.g., mediation process and moderating effect). The editor invites you to submit presentations of research regarding the relationships between personality, health, and well-being among different age groups (including children and adolescents, adults, and elderly), and also in various situations (e.g., in the community, at home, at the workplace, and at school). Original articles, literature reviews, meta-analyses, brief reports, and commentaries are welcomed.
