The purpose of this study was to investigate whether personality traits [e.g., Conscientiousness (C), Neuroticism (N), and Extraversion (E)] and their corresponding trait facets (e.g., N: Anxiety; Depression; E: Excitement-Seeking) uniquely predict affective states during an acute bout of vigorous physical activity. Methods: 10 participants (21 ± 1.94 yrs, 6 (60%) Female, 10 (100%) current exercisers) completed the International Personality Item Pool to assess personality, a VO2 peak test to determine a unique maximum heart rate, and a 10-minute bout of vigorous cycling. During the acute cycling bout, affective states (e.g., Feeling Scale (FS); Hardy & Rejeski, 1989; Felt Arousal Scale; Svebak & Murgatroyd, 1985) were assessed every 2 minutes. Two multiple linear regressions were conducted to analyze whether C, N, and E uniquely predicted peak affect (highest FS achieved from min-0 to min-10) (Model 1) and valley affect (lowest FS achieved from min-0 to min-10) (Model 2). Two follow-up multiple regressions were conducted to analyze whether C, Anxiety, Depression, and Excitement-Seeking uniquely predicted peak affect (Model 3) and valley affect (Model 4). Results: Personality explained greater variance in peak affect than valley affect (Model 1: R2= .841, 2: R2= .605, 3: R2= .921, 4: R2= .781). Initial regressions indicated that Neuroticism significantly predicted peak (β= -.949, p= 0.003) and valley affect (β = -.752, p= 0.049), while E and C did not (p> 0.05). Follow-up regressions indicated that Depression predicted both peak (β= -.766, p= 0.004) and valley affect (β= -.851, p= 0.021), while C, Anxiety, and Excitement-Seeking did not (p>0.05). Conclusion: Understanding the relationship between personality and affective responses will allow practitioners to target individuals for PA interventions to improve PA behavior.
