The aim of this research is to investigate the correlation between personality and attitudes to a health promotion approach using predictions from the Five Factor Theory of Personality (FFT). It was hypothesized that individuals who scored higher in Conscientiousness would be more likely to have a positive attitude towards the implementation of safe injecting rooms. The participants consisted of a convenience sample of 25 psychology students attending Clinical Foundations of Psychology tutorials. Paper surveys were used and the results were analyzed for correlation using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The results reported no statistically significant correlation. Conscientiousness, Agreeableness and Neuroticism were observed to have negative correlations while Openness and Extroversion had positive correlations. Therefore, the hypothesis was rejected. Lack of knowledge and awareness, and various research limitations were proposed explanations for the results reported.
