Impact of personality on sexual risk behaviour among undergraduates

The aim of the study was to examine the impact of personality on sexual risk behaviour among undergraduates. Cross-sectional design was adopted in the study among 260 participants. Data was sourced using data source through the use of sexual risk behaviour survey (Jessica, Turchik, Walsh & Marcus, 2014), big five personality inventory (John, Donahue & Kentle, 1990). The hypothesis was tested using step wise Multiple Regression was employed in the analysis of data. The result shows that the five dimensions of personality did not have significant relationship with participant’s sexual risk behaviour. The five dimensions of personality were equally not significant predictors of participant’s sexual risk behaviour, although they accounted for 1% of the variance in sexual risk behaviour (AR² =. 01).It was concluded thatthat risk behaviour is found in people of different personality characteristics other than just one type.
