Abstract
The blood type is determined genetically and can be a marker for assessing the influence of hereditary factors on personality. Research on the effect of AB0 antigens on various character traits, behavior patterns, nutritional strategy, as well as the development of various somatic and mental diseases has been going on for about a hundred years. The purpose of the study: to assess the relationship between blood type and personality traits, temperament type, character and physical activity. Material and methods of research: the personality of 878 medical students was assessed using a temperament and character questionnaire. Based on the results of the survey, data analysis and statistical processing were carried out, a four-field contingency table was compiled and the odds ratio was calculated, the significance of differences was assessed by the χ2 criterion. Research results: a possible correlation of personal qualities, character traits, temperament, learning ability and physical activity with students’ blood group was studied. The most self-confident, energetic, sociable, powerful and independent were the representatives of the first blood group. The owners of the second blood group showed themselves to be calm, balanced, stress-resistant, scrupulous, executive and hardworking, loving harmony and order. Respondents with the third blood group are prone to independence and exactingness, perfectionism and harmony, creativity and flexibility, sympathy and empathy. The most mysterious was the phenotype of the fourth blood group, manifested by greater sensuality, sociability, spirituality, charm, intelligence, and a penchant for mysticism. The best academic performance was demonstrated by more than half of the first-year students with the third blood group, and the holders of the fourth blood group showed the least interest in natural science disciplines. About half of the respondents, regardless of blood type, are physically active to some extent. Conclusion: the results of the work confirm some relationship between a certain blood group and personal characteristics, temperament, learning ability, but most of them do not change significantly.
