The reason behind each person’s behavior is through their qualities and characteristics that make them who they are. This combination of qualities and characteristics is called personality. Personality forms each person’s notable disposition or character. The science of psychology has different theories on how personality is measured in each person.

Mental health refers to children’s abilities to understand and manage their emotions and behaviors, to function positively with others in age appropriate and developmentally appropriate ways, and to form meaningful relationships (Amador, Daeschel, and Sorte, Pg. 416).

The importance of understanding the links between personality and health are being increasingly recognized within the scientific and psychological society, over the years research and theoretical advances have begun to uncover that personality can have an effect on health, whether good or bad. Illnesses can be a cause of many factors that may be biological, psychological, environmental or even sociological. Suggesting that illnesses are related to more than just biological infectious diseases such as Tuberculosis, pneumonia, influenza, etc. of which during the 1900’s were major killers within western societies. (Stroebe, 2000) Yet as medicines understanding of these diseases grew and as vaccinations and treatments were made available the major culprit for death was no longer of a purely biological nature. By the year 2000 the major killers were taking the form of cardiovascular diseases which include coronary heart disease(CHD), High blood pressure, and cancer, (American Heart Association, 1999) that have many psychological, environmental and behavioral links, and most importantly links to stress and how our body copes while experiencing it. Selye’s three stages of the general adaptation syndrome (1976) can be directly linked to the above and have on many occasions been associated to personality and its effects on health.…
Such development begins to narrow down personality traits among students and according the Smith’s health behavior model, personality traits can be associated with certain health problems or even triggered by stressful events. In combination with the academic and personal stressors that surround college students, we were interested in collecting data from students at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in regards to their personality traits, health behaviors, and possible health outcomes. We wanted to examine the relationship between the following three variables: emotional stability, the number of days students missed class due to illness, and GPA. In accordance with the health behavior model, we hypothesized that students with a low emotional stability personality trait are susceptible to more health problems causing them to miss class due to illness, resulting in a negative correlation between the two variables. We also expect that the higher a student’s emotional stability is, the higher their GPA is likely to be, therefore resulting a positive correlation between the two variables. The more a student has to miss class due to an illness can have an effect on one’s academic performance, so we also hypothesized that a negative correlation is present between the number of days missed due to illness and a student’s reported…
