Relationship between adherence to exercise and scores on extraversion and neuroticism.
A sample of 116 subjects were classified as adherers or drop-outs on the basis of exercising at an on-campus exercise facility over 1 yr. Scores on the Eysenck Personality Inventory showed that adherers did not differ from drop-outs in scores on extraversion; however, drop-outs recorded significantly higher neuroticism scores than adherers.
