Personality traits have been investigated as predictors of sedentary behavior, while both personality traits and anxiety sensitivity have been investigated as predictors of physical activity; however, few studies employed objective measurement of these behaviors. The current study recruited 64 young adults who completed the Anxiety Sensitivity Index-3 and NEO-Personality Inventory-3, then wore accelerometers for 1 week. Results revealed that agreeableness and anxiety sensitivity were inversely associated with moderate intensity or greater physical activity; however, none of the investigated constructs predicted sedentary time. These results highlight the importance of objective measurement when studying these behaviors and clinical implications for the identification of individuals at risk for physical activity avoidance
