The Role of Personality Traits and Social Support in Relations of Health-related Behaviours and Depressive Symptoms

About the Course

Previous evidence has suggested that physically inactive individuals and extensive media users are at high risk for experiencing depressive symptoms. This study examined personality traits and perceived social support as potential moderators of this association. Personality and perceived social support were included as two of the most frequently considered variables when determining predispositioning factors for media use phenomena also discussed in relation to physical activity. Results highlight the importance of considering individual factors for deriving more valid recommendations on protective health behaviours.

This course is based on the reading-based online article, The Role of Personality Traits and Social Support in Relations of Health-related Behaviours and Depressive Symptoms created by Johanna‑Sophie Edler, et al. in 2022.
