The main factors influencing neuroticism in adolescents

Original language description

Problem statement: The psychological well-being of adolescents has become a pressing concern in recent years. This study explores the relationship between neuroticism and various factors (including family dynamics, involvement in sports, and overall health) using comprehensive questionnaire data. Approach: Employing an exploratory research design, this study aimed to gain deeper insight into the main influencers in adolescents' life such as parent-adolescent relationships, family cohesion, age, and physical activity. Utilizing a crosssectional study design, we have statistically analyzed data collected from 945 Czech adolescents (387 females and 558 males), aged 16–18 years, representing diverse backgrounds and educational institutions. Purpose: The primary objective of this study was to identify the key factors influencing the levels of neuroticism in adolescents and to describe these relationships using a linear model. Results and Conclusions: Relationships with parents, mental and physical health, and the frequency of doing sport and physical activity were identified as factors influencing levels of neuroticism. The highest mean of the neuroticism trait was found for respondents related to poor relationships with parents (0.92 standard deviation above the mean), for respondents who feel ill or not at ease (0.85 standard deviation above the mean), and for respondents who do sport only occasionally or not at all (0.48 standard deviation above the mean). It is important for students to participate in physical activities. Such participation has a positive effect on the physical aspect of a person, but also on the social and mental stability. Frequency of weekly sport activities, health, and how the respondent currently feels explain 19.6% and 25.5% of the variability in neuroticism levels for males and females, respectively.
