Enneagram typologies and healthy personality to psychosocial stress: A network approach

“…The network results refer causal associations of positive reaction to psychosocial stress with types 6 (loyal), 7 (adventurous), 8 (challenging), and 9 (peacemaker), which evidences that university students with healthy behaviors to interpersonal stress may be identified with a more trustworthy, responsible, decisive, outgoing, enthusiastic, innovative, optimistic, and peaceful character. Such typologies are related to higher healthy and assertive behavior ( Wagner, 2012 ), better self-control and positive emotion management ( Araghi et al, 2015 ), and reduced stress ( Karabulut et al, 2021 ) and fear ( Al-Obaidi, 2021 ). Other findings indicate that the healthy personality of lower stressor reactivity is associated with a higher Myers-Briggs perceptual temperament, which is characterized by a high degree of quietness, self-control, and adaptation to new situations ( Fretwell et al, 2013 ).…”
