PSY230H5 Lecture Notes - Lecture 17: Sexually Transmitted Infection, Extraversion And Introversion, Neuroticism
Document Summary
Mc17: which big five dimension is the most consistent and strongest (positive or negative) predictor of life-satisfaction: neuroticism, extraversion, openness, agreeableness, conscientiousness. Thus here cheerfulness is negatively correlated with longevity. Option c is that there something else that effects spooning and mortality. A plausible explanation for a is that spooning may mean ur more open to sexual intercourse and thus at higher risk for sexually transmitted diseases and thus long term effect of mortality (check the cause of death). Third variables used to explain as well since not all (barely any) are because of sexually trasmitted diseases. Termites primarily died of cancer and cardiovascular disease. Maybe sitautional though if writer 1 thought that"s how it was meant to be written. Having high +ve emotion has a +ve effect on increasing longetiveity. But this goes against the termite study in which we found that cheerfulness is a ve predictor of longevity.
