“…Since we used nationally representative data from German adults, the generalization of our findings to younger participants (<18 years) and other cultures is limited. Cultural differences are known for the associations of neuroticism (Matsumoto et al, 2009) and specific emotion regulation strategies (Schunk et al, 2021; Schunk et al, 2022) with well‐being and social adaptation. Further, individuals' level of neuroticism was shown to be more flexible over time in non‐Western cultures (Chopik & Kitayama, 2018).…”

ObjectiveCorrelational studies have frequently linked neuroticism to lower well‐being and poorer social adaptation. In this study, we examined the longitudinal associations of neuroticism with life satisfaction and aspects of social adaptation (i.e., loneliness, number of close friends, and interpersonal trust).MethodCross‐lagged panel models (CLPMs) and random intercepts cross‐lagged panel models (RI‐CLPMs) were used to analyze the prospective associations between variables in a nationally representative adult sample from Germany (N = 5,663 to 11,079 per analysis; 2–4 measurement waves with lags of 4–5 years).ResultsCLPMs indicated that higher neuroticism was related to lower life satisfaction, higher loneliness, fewer friends, and lower interpersonal trust, but not vice versa. At the within‐person level, RI‐CLPMs revealed similar findings with increased neuroticism predicting decreases in life satisfaction, increases in loneliness, and decreases in interpersonal trust. Indices of social adaptation partially mediated the link between neuroticism and life satisfaction at the between‐person but not at the within‐person level. Exploratory multigroup analyses support the generalization of the cross‐lagged effects of neuroticism on life satisfaction and social adaptation across age, gender, and geographical regions (East versus West Germany).ConclusionsThese findings highlight the role of neuroticism in shaping psychosocial outcomes over time.

“…In Colombia, the mean HADS-anxiety and depression scores were 4.0 ± 3.4 and 4.7 ± 3.9 in healthy men aged > 60 years, respectively [28]. One study showed severer depression among Japanese individuals compared to Americans [29]. Further, patients in the present study displayed more depression but less anxiety than did Brazilian patients with the same disease (5.9 ± 4.2 and 7.9 ± 4.7, respectively) [17].…”

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence and characteristics of depression and anxiety in patients with hematological malignancy including examining their relationship with physical functioning and physical symptoms.Method: Japanese inpatients (n = 173, mean age: 62.7 ± 15.0 years) with hematological malignancy undergoing chemotherapy and 115 age-and sex-matched healthy controls participated. All participants completed the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. For patients with hematological malignancy, muscle strength, physical activity, activities of daily living, and quality of life (European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-C30) were assessed. Results:We revealed that 32.9% and 45.7% of patients had anxiety and depression, respectively, which were both significantly higher than the values among healthy controls. Patients with hematological malignancy who had anxiety and depression displayed lower physical functioning scores and higher symptom scores on the QLQ-C30. Logistic regression analyses revealed that age, nausea, and cognitive functioning were significantly associated with anxiety in patients with hematological malignancy, and insomnia was significantly associated with depression. Significance of Discussion:The prevalence of anxiety and depression was high in Japanese inpatients with hematological malignancy undergoing chemotherapy. Anxiety and depression may be affected more by physical symptoms than by physical functioning or activity; therefore, the relationship between psychological distress (anxiety and depression) and physical symptoms should be focused on when treating patients with hematological malignancy undergoing chemotherapy.

“…Work on values, attitudes, beliefs, and personality traits often involves attempts to measure such enduring characteristics (Bond et al, 2004;K. Leung & Bond, 2009;Matsumoto, 2006;Matsumoto, Nakagawa, & Estrada, 2009;Schwartz, 1994). Some work emphasizing the independent versus interdependent self also takes this perspective because these models of self come to organize the way people chronically approach the world (Singelis, 1994).…”
