“…To the best of our knowledge, this possible moderation has not been examined before. However indirect evidence addresses possible association; students high on extraversion, conscientiousness and low on neuroticism had higher resistance to stress and even all students exposed to same stressors, conscientious students seem to have more effective coping mechanisms than neurotic students, that prevent them from stress leading to depression (Afshar et al, 2015;Perera et al, 2015). Thus, neuroticism and negative valence in our study expected to worsen the effects of perceived stress on university adjustment since they increase the likelihood of destructive behavior like withdrawal and denial.…”

Research has demonstrated consistently that personality and perceived stress, independently, are essential factors for university adjustment among university freshmen; however, little is known about the associations between personality, perceived stress, and adjustment together. Our primary goal was to explore the predictive utility of perceived stress for explaining university adjustment among university freshmen ( N = 290). We also tested the moderating role of personality traits and this research was embedded within a Big Five model of personality including the sixth trait for Turkish context, ‘Negative Valence’. Results addressed that only conscientiousness and negative valence moderated the perceived stress and adjustment association. Students high on negative valence and/or conscientiousness tended to experience the detrimental effect of perceived stress on university adjustment more due to their personality. These results suggested that personality might be an important factor to include in adjustment fostering interventions for freshmen at universities.

“…COVID-19 restrictions severely limited normal social connection due to increased uncertainty, anxiety, and fear (Asmundson & Taylor, 2020). As the dangers of a deadly virus were prioritized over social contact, many protective factors from social support to combat stress, loneliness, depression, and anxiety were lost (Roohafza et al, 2014). Technology offered an outlet for emotional expression and virtual connection (D.…”

“…It is well known that particular personality traits are more commonly associated with the presence of anxiety disorders (Afshar et al, 2015). While numerous studies have examined the relationship between anxiety and the five basic dimensions of personality (Lee et al, 2020;Nikčević et al, 2021), these studies commonly examined the association between isolated personality traits and other factors using a variable-centered approach.…”

Anxiety-associated factors among employees with different personality profiles: a cross-sectional study in China

et al. 2023

IntroductionAnxiety not only harms employees’ work efficiency and satisfaction but also presents as a hazard to their mental health. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of anxiety among Chinese employees, identify their personality profiles and explore the anxiety-related factors in different personality profiles.MethodsThis national investigation adopted the multistage random sampling method to recruit employees. A total of 3,875 employees were enrolled in this study, and 39.1% (1,515/3,875) of them were experiencing anxiety at the time of the study. Latent profile analysis (LPA) was conducted to identify personality subgroups among Chinese employees based on their BFI-10 scores.ResultsLPA identified a three-profile solution among Chinese employees: average, resilient, and introverted. Employees in the resilient profile had the lowest anxiety rate (16.1%, 132/822), and those in the average profile had the highest rate (46.8%, 1,166/2,494). Multivariate analysis results showed that for all personality profiles, self-efficacy was positively associated with anxiety, and work-family conflict was negatively associated with anxiety. High levels of perceived social support and self-efficacy reduced the risk of anxiety and higher work-family conflict and no partner increased the odds of anxiety in the average profile. For the introverted profile, female gender, and living in a city increased the chances of suffering from anxiety.DiscussionThis study identified that each personality profile of Chinese employees had its own set of factors associated with anxiety, which could facilitate employers to provide targeted interventions to alleviate employees’ anxiety.
