HEALTH-PROMOTING LIFESTYLES AND PERSONALITY AMONG BLACK SOUTH AFRICAN STUDENTS
The aim of this study was to investigate health-promoting lifestyles (HPLP) and personality in black South African students. The sample included 606 students: 236 Grade 12, secondary school and 370 first year social science university students in South Africa. Results indicate a reasonable
percentage of health-promoting lifestyles with a mean of 2.72. Secondary school students reported more overall health-promoting lifestyles than did university students. Multiple stepwise regression identified the Lie scale, Neuroticism, and Psychoticism as independent predictors for the total
HPLP; Extraversion, gender and group (=secondary or university students) were excluded.
