Abstract
El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar las posibles relaciones entre las conductas de
salud y los rasgos de personalidad en estudiantes de una universidad privada de Lima
Metropolitana. Participaron 99 estudiantes entre los 18 y los 22 años (M= 18.27; DE= 2.08),
de ambos sexos y de las facultades de Letras y de Ciencias. Un objetivo secundario fue
describir si existen relaciones entre las variables de estudio y los factores sociodemográficos.
La medición de la personalidad se llevó a cabo con el NEO-FFI (Costa y McCrae, 1992) y
las conductas de salud con la adaptación del CEVJU de Chau y Saravia (2014). En cuanto al
objetivo de la investigación, los resultados mostraron que neuroticismo correlaciona de forma
inversa y pequeña con organización de sueño (r=-.27; p<0.01), así como conciencia
correlaciona de forma directa y pequeña con organización de sueño (r=.28; p<0.01).
Además, se hallaron diferencias significativas entre neuroticismo y agradabilidad con
relación al sexo. Así como, que extraversión se relaciona de manera inversa con la edad del
estudiante (r= -.30, p< 0.01). Se discuten las posibles explicaciones de estos hallazgos, se
reportan las limitaciones de la investigación y se proponen algunas recomendaciones para
futuros estudios.
The purpose of this research was to study the possible relationships between personality traits and health behaviors in a group of university students from a private university in Lima Metropolitan. The participants were 99 students of both sexes between 16 and 22 years old (M= 18.27; DE= 2.08). A secondary objective of the investigation was to describe whether relationships exist between the study variables and socio-demographic variables. The student´s personality traits were measured using the NEOFFI (Costa y McCrae, 1992) and health behaviors were evaluated using the CEVJU adaptation of Chau y Saravia (2014). In regard to the objectives of this research, the results showed that neuroticism correlates inversely and small with sleep organization (r = -. 27; p <0.01), as well as consciousness directly and small correlates with sleep organization (r = .28; p <0.01). In addition, significant differences were found between neuroticism and agreeableness in relation to sex. As well, that extraversion is inversely related to the student's age (r = -.30, p <0.01). Possible explanations of the results found are discussed, as well as their relevance, limitations of the investigation are reported and recommendations for future studies are given.
