This unique feature is only possessed by long-lived people

There is an old saying among the people that "man's fate is determined by heaven". However, many modern follow-up studies on long-lived people have shown that it is ourselves, not fate, that control the pace of life and change the rate of biopsychosocial aging. Living beyond 100 years old requires not only better socioeconomic conditions, suitable climate and environment, and good genetic conditions, but also a good psychological quality. Human psychological factors play a very important role in determining the length and quality of life. A person who is positive, optimistic, sociable, responsible and self-disciplined can often live a long life.

An 80-year study on the "Longevity Project" abroad found that conscientiousness among the Big Five personality traits can best predict life expectancy. Conscientiousness is a holistic personality factor composed of multiple traits such as organization, thoroughness, responsibility, competence, order, accountability, striving, self-discipline, and thoughtfulness. A person high in Conscientiousness would do this and thus live longer.

People with high conscientiousness rarely take risks. They are self-disciplined, organized, more rational, and more thoughtful. In life, fortune and misfortune are unpredictable, but there is a subtle connection between everything. People with high conscientiousness pay more attention to details, such as not smoking, drinking less, and eating in moderation, thus avoiding obesity. People with high conscientiousness are more likely to develop good living habits, follow advice that is beneficial to their physical and mental health, and cooperate with their doctors.

People with high conscientiousness are more able to analyze calmly when assessing risks and will not try to stop a chariot with a mantis arm. People with high conscientiousness will be more thoughtful and thus reduce stress, and they will know how to remind themselves to stay strong when faced with unexpected situations. It is said that opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. Therefore, people with high conscientiousness will have a more stable career and family.

People who are subjectively happy and satisfied with their lives are more likely to live longer. Studies have found that positive emotions are negatively correlated with mortality in patients with hypertension, and this protective effect is even higher for elderly people with high stress levels. That is to say, elderly people with positive emotions are less likely to suffer from hypertension.

People who have faith and actively participate in social activities live longer. Even for some older adults who self-assess their health to be poor, the more socially active they are, the healthier they are and the longer they live.

Human beings are very complex creatures. In an era when modern society is changing so drastically, a good psychological quality has a huge impact on human health. People who are highly conscientious, have positive emotions, and actively participate in social activities can often buffer the negative effects of stress, enabling them to adopt adaptive coping strategies, thereby protecting them from stress damage.
