We would encourage broader measures of formidability (e.g., subjective measures such as fighting skill) and more diverse samples (e.g., combat athletes) to clarify this relationship.

(4) Overall, physical indicators of formidability accounted for little variance in externalizing behaviors above and beyond personality traits.

(3) The interaction associations between personality and formidability were almost uniformly null. Four were significant, but most likely the result of type I error.

(2) In the regression models, the average associations of Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, and Neuroticism with externalizing behaviors greatly outweighed those of physical indicators of formidability.

(1) While the zero-order associations between physical indicators of formidability (height, weight, grip-strength, and a composite) and externalizing behaviors were comparable to findings in the extant literature, they were null and negligible once gender was accounted for.

This study integrated both to examine the additive and interactive relations of personality and physical indicators of formidability with externalizing behaviors in young adulthood (N = 1,196; Human Connectome Project).

Personality and formidability are distinct frameworks used to understand the individual differences in engaging in externalizing behaviors. However, these literatures are largely siloed.
