Исследования показывают, что те, кто набирает больше баллов в тестах на аутентичность, в целом более довольны жизнью и собой, реже страдают от депрессии и тревожности, более внимательны и энергичны. Также у них гораздо реже обнаруживаются такие физиологические симптомы, как мигрень и различные боли. См.: Goldman, B.M.
