Predicting Behavior from Personality Trait Scores

Rutgers University

In this study, 62 members of college fraternities were analyzed for the degree of association between personality characteristics and the selection of behavioral settings. There was a strong relationship between trait scores of Energetic and selecting a setting where energetic behavior could occur (r = .62; p C .001). Similarly, there was a strong relationship between trait scores of Sociable and selecting a setting where direct social interaction could occur (r = 53;-p .001). The findings indicated that selection of settings may be an area of behavior that is predictable from personality trait scores.
