“…As a sub-trait of neuroticism, we also found that the trait of depression was moderately correlated with mental symptoms, consistent with a previous study [32] . Current evidence provides tentative insights regarding the association between depression and mental symptoms.…”

“…In particular, we found a strong independent association between the trait of anxiety and mental symptoms. Our results were similar to those of a previous study [32] and support the association of anxiety traits with the emotional anxiety experience [33] . A recent study [34] found that anxiety traits could lead to prolonged HPA hyperactivity.…”

BackgroundMental health of university volunteers is essential for the successful holding of essential meetings and sports games. The impact of personality traits on the mental symptoms of university volunteers is not well studied. The study objective is to assess personality traits as predictors of mental symptoms in university volunteers in China. MethodWe carried out a cross-sectional study. The study sample consisted of volunteers from sixteen main universities in the city of Hangzhou. The OQ-45 scale was used to evaluate mental symptoms and the PHI was used for the measurement of personality traits. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to study relationships between personality factors and mental symptoms. ResultsEstimation of personality traits revealed higher scores on subscales of hypomania, depression, and psychopathic deviance. The OQ-45 scale identi ed 1.4% of volunteers as having psychological disorders. PHI scores were positively correlated with scores on the OQ-45 scale (P < 0.01). Anxiety was correlated particularly strongly with interpersonal relationship score and total OQ-45 score (r = 0.6, P < 0.05). Furthermore, we found that personality traits could in uence the explicit mental symptoms of the volunteers. Volunteers with traits of anxiety and depression reported a signi cant impact on their mental symptoms. ConclusionsThe OQ-45 and PHI scales can be used to screen volunteers with mental symptoms. Inner personality traits could be used to predict the mental symptoms of volunteers in China. Our results might assist organizers of future conferences and games in selecting appropriate university volunteers.

Aim In this narrative review we aimed to describe how stroke affects emotions and update the readers on the emotional disturbances that occur after stroke. Methods We searched Medline from 1.1.2013 to 1.7.2019, personal files and references of selected publications. All retrieved systematic reviews and randomized controlled trials were included. Other references were selected by relevance. Summary of review The emotional response includes a reactive behavior with arousal, somatic, motivational and motor components, and a distinctive cognitive and subjective affective experience. Emotional category responses and experiences after stroke can show dissociations between the behavioral response and the cognitive and affective experiences. Emotional disturbances that often occur after stroke include fear, anger, emotional indifference, lack of understanding of other emotions, and lack of control of emotional expression. Emotional disturbances limit social reintegration of the persons with stroke and are a source of caregiver burnout. The evidence to support the management of the majority of emotional disorders in stroke survivors is currently weak and of low or very low methodologic quality. An exception are the disorders of emotional expression control where antidepressants can have a strong beneficial effect, by reducing the number and duration of the uncontrollable episodes of crying or laughing. Conclusion Our current knowledge of the emotional disorders that occurs in acute stroke patients and in stroke survivors is heterogeneous and limited. Joint efforts of different research approaches, methodologies and disciplines will improve our current understanding on emotional disorder after stroke and indicate rational pathways to manage them.

“…To date, personological epidemiological studies on stroke have primarily focused on stroke sequelae and poststroke QoL. For example, neuroticism and individual facets of this trait have been associated with an increased risk for post-stroke depression and an overall reduced QoL [17,18]. Additionally, stroke survivors with a strong degree of neuroticism have higher levels of fatigue and score lower on the Barthel scale measuring performance in activities of daily living [19].…”

“…Additionally, stroke survivors with a strong degree of neuroticism have higher levels of fatigue and score lower on the Barthel scale measuring performance in activities of daily living [19]. On the other hand, low extraversion has been associated with an increased post-stroke apathy [18]. In relation to this, the type D (distressed) personality, which is characterized by low extraversion and high neuroticism, has lower scores for health promoting behaviours, higher poststroke disability scores and lower QoL after stroke [20].…”

Background: There is a growing interest in how personality may be related to the risk of developing disease. Associations between personality and stroke have so far only been studied in relation to stroke mortality. However, many stroke survivors suffer severe impairment of quality of life due to sequelae such as aphasia, hemiparesis, depression and anxiety. In this study we assess the association between personality and risk of stroke, regardless of mortality. Methods: Using self-reported data on psychological factors, mental health and social support, proxies for the Big Five personality traits were developed for 482,535 participants in the UK Biobank. Logistic regression and Cox proportional hazard models, with 95% confidence intervals (CI), were used to estimate odds ratios (OR) and hazard ratios (HR) between each personality trait and stroke prevalence (N = 6793) and incidence (N = 3312), respectively. Models were adjusted for demographic, health-related, and lifestyle factors. Results: Diligence and sociability were associated with a lower risk of stroke incidence in the fully adjusted model (respectively: [HR = 0.92; 95% CI = (0.88, 0.96)], [HR = 0.93; 95% CI = (0.89, 0.97)]). However, nervousness, curiosity and warmth were not significantly associated with a risk of stroke incidence. Conclusions: Individuals with higher levels of diligence and sociability may be at a reduced risk of developing stroke. With respect to the debated role of neuroticism in relation to cardiovascular disease, we did not find evidence of an association between nervousness and risk of developing stroke.
