(Articles ). pp. 887-919. Previous research has established conscientiousness as a predictor of longivity (H. S. Friedman et al., 1993; L. R. Martin & H. S. Friedman, 2000). To better understand this relationships. the authors conducted a meta-analysis of conscientiousness-related traits and and the leading behavioral contributors to mortality in the United States ( tobacco use, diet and activity patterns, excessive alcohol use , violence, risky sexual behavior, risky driving, suicide and drug use). Data sources were located by combining conscientiousness-related terms and relaevant health -related behavior terms in database searches as well as by retrieving dissertations and requesting unpublished data fron electronic mailing lists. The resulting database contained 194 studies that were quantitatively synthesized. Results showed that conscientiousnes-related tarits were negatively related to all risky health-related behaviors and positively related to all beneficial health-related behaviors. The study demonstrates the importance of conscientiousness ' contribution to the health process through its relationship to health-related behaviors. -- (from the author) Psychological Bulletin. vol. 130, 6 (2004).
