Abstract
本研究目的是探討五大人格特質與健康認知對健康行為的影響。研究方法採用便利取樣，經由網路收發自評問卷，調查臺灣的大專院校學生，最後共得328有效問卷。研究結果顯示，大學生的人格特質與健康認知確實可以預測其健康行為。五種人格特質傾向的大學生，從事促進各種健康行為的頻率也不盡相同：一、外向性人格傾向者更常從事促進生理與心理層面的健康行為；二、和善性人格傾向者更常從事促進社會層面的健康行為；三、經驗開放性人格傾向者更常促進靈性層面的健康行為；四、神經質人格傾向者顯著地較少從事各層面的健康促進行為，尤其是促進生理與心理層面的健康行為；五、持安寧幸福感健康認知取向的大學生傾向於從事促進心理、社會與靈性層面的健康行為。研究結果驗證五大人格特質理論用於解釋健康行為的適切性。本研究結果除了可供學術參考，還可作為教育輔導單位推廣學生健康行為的依據，以降低學生危害健康的行為。
