The present study examined the relation between personality and changes in physical activity and sedentary behaviors during the acute phase of the 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. Personality was assessed prior to the coronavirus crisis in the Understanding America Study (UAS, N = 6,702) and the Psychological, Behavioral, and Social Response (PBSR) to the coronavirus pandemic (N = 3,992) study. Physical activity was assessed 4 times from March 2020 to May 2020 in the UAS, and sedentary behavior was assessed 3 times from January 2020 to April 2020 in the PBSR. Higher neuroticism was associated with less increase in physical activity, whereas higher conscientiousness and agreeableness were related to a steeper increase in physical activity over time in the UAS. In the PBSR, higher neuroticism and lower extraversion, agreeableness, and conscientiousness were related to higher average sedentary behavior. This study provides new evidence that personality predicts behavioral responses to the COVID-19 crisis.

本研究检查了2019年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行急性期人格与体育活动和久坐行为变化之间的关系。个性之前在理解美国研究（UAS，冠状病毒危机评估Ñ = 6702）和心理，行为，和社会响应（PBSR）到冠状病毒大流行（Ñ= 3,992）研究。在UAS中，从2020年3月至2020年5月，进行了4次体育活动评估，从2020年1月至2020年4月，在PBSR中对久坐行为进行了3次评估。较高的神经质与体育活动的增加较少相关，而较高的自觉性和愉快程度与UAS中随着时间的推移体育活动的急剧增加有关。在PBSR中，较高的神经质和较低的外向性，顺从性和尽责性与较高的平均久坐行为有关。这项研究提供了新的证据，表明性格可以预测对COVID-19危机的行为反应。
