“…Social support is important in the adaptation of college freshmen (44,45), and closely correlates with both personality traits (46,47) and depressive symptoms (48,49). However, existing studies have tended to focus on the direct effects of personality traits on depressive symptoms or the protective role of social support against depressive symptom, whereas few researches focused on the mechanism of social support in the relationship between personality traits and depressive symptoms.…”

“…Students with high levels of extraversion are likely to have good social relationships and get more support from others around them ( 14), while students with high levels of neuroticism are probably not good at social activities and thus lack social support (46). Empirical studies also found that a lack of social support is a vulnerability factor for depressive symptoms (48,49), hence, extraversion and neuroticism can decrease and increase depressive symptoms by increasing and decreasing social support, respectively.…”

ObjectiveThis study aims to explore the direct effects of extraversion and neuroticism on college freshmen's depressive symptoms and their indirect effects via social support under the background of COVID-19.MethodA total of 3,563 college freshmen were surveyed using the extraversion and neuroticism scales of the Chinese version of the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ), the Chinese version of the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II), and the Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS). Partial correlation analyses and regression analyses were used.Results(1) Extraversion had a significant and negative predictive effect on depressive symptoms, while neuroticism positively predicted depressive symptoms. The interaction effect between extraversion and neuroticism on depressive symptoms was also significant. Neuroticism had a greater impact on depressive symptoms in college freshmen with low levels of extraversion. (2) Furthermore, social support partially mediated the relationships between extraversion and depressive symptoms, and neuroticism and depressive symptoms.ConclusionsExtraversion and neuroticism can directly affect college freshmen' s depressive symptoms, and have indirect effects via the mediating role of social support. Additionally, extraversion interacts with neuroticism, and extraversion plays a protective role in the effect of neuroticism on depressive symptoms. These findings help identify college freshmen at high risk of depression and design effective prevention or intervention measures for them.

“…According to a previous study, resilience and adaptive coping totally moderate the relationship between social support and PTSD [75]. Another study discovered the same results [76]. These data suggest that resiliency and coping are significant mediators between social support and PTSD in female students who have experienced sexual harassment.…”

Female students are still at risk of experiencing sexual harassment, which can lead to posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This study investigated the impact of social support on PTSD female students who have been sexually harassed, as mediated by the resilience and religious coping. Out of a total of 1,439 female students who filed online self-reports, 170 female students reported being sexually harassed by lecturers, male students, and administrative officers. The PTSD checklist–civilian version (PCL-C), Multidimensional scale of perceived social support, brief resilience scale, and brief religious coping scale (RCOPE) were used to collect data. Partial least squares (PLS) modeling was used to test the developed hypothesis. This study found that social support, resilience, and religious coping all had an impact on PTSD. Furthermore, social support has an indirect effect on PTSD through resilience and religious coping. Because resilience and coping are mediators in recovering PTSD and that both can be intervened and modified, a training program specifically designed to improve both is needed to overcome the PTSD symptoms experienced by sexual harassment victims.

“…Additionally, Swedish research presented existing link between IL-6 and neuroticism [ 26 ]. Chen et al (2021) presented results of a longitudinal research on early adulthood depression and associated it, among many other things, positively with neuroticism and psychoticism and negatively with extroversion [ 27 ]. Zhang et al (2021) straightforwardly stated that there is a genetic link between neuroticism and numerous health problems, including depression [ 28 ].…”

Depression is a psychiatric disorder of heterogeneous etiology. One of the leading theories suggests an inflammatory background to it. It is often found in the scientific literature that certain personality traits, such as high neuroticism, low extroversion and conscientiousness, are being associated with depression. We combined biochemical tests of IL-1 and IL-6 serum levels and scores in the personality test EPQ-R among 50 depressed patients and 37 healthy participants. The results confirmed increased serum levels of IL-1 and IL-6 in a study group when compared to healthy volunteers. Additionally, personality traits (psychoticism and neuroticism) were increased in the depressed group when compared to healthy volunteers. The authors analyzed correlations in both groups. However, only one statistically significant link was observed in IL-6 and K levels (scale associated with the need for social acceptance) in the control group.
