由于长期压力而导致的健康状况不佳受到人格特质的影响，从而导致不同的评估和应对生活日常烦恼的方式。本研究旨在通过大样本研究压力感知与神经质、外向性、开放性、宜人性和严谨性等人格维度之间的关系，并探讨一般自我效能感（GSE）的作用。2006-2008年在丹麦预防和健康研究中心进行了一项以人口为基础的横断面研究。年龄在18-69岁的男性和女性（N = 3471）在哥本哈根郊区随机抽样。我们使用NEO五因素量表（NEO- ffi）、Cohen's感知压力量表和一般自我效能量表。研究发现，感知压力与外向性、严谨性、宜人性和开放性之间存在负相关——后者最初并不显著——而神经质则存在正相关。当GSE被包括在内时，亲和性和开放性分别与亲和性和开放性呈显著正相关。5种人格压力模型均受GSE的中介作用，其中外向性和责任心的中介作用最强。最强烈的压力关联被发现与神经质有关。GSE改变了人格维度对感知压力的影响和解释。这些结果表明，GSE是人格与感知压力之间联系的重要因素。
Ill-health resulting from chronic stress is influenced by personality traits leading to different ways of appraising and coping with life's daily hassles. Using a large population sample the study aimed to investigate possible associations between perceived stress and the personality dimensions of neuroticism, extroversion, openness, agreeableness, and conscientiousness, and to explore the role of general self-efficacy (GSE). A population-based cross-sectional study was conducted at the Research Centre for Prevention and Health, Denmark, in 2006-2008. Men and women (N = 3471) aged 18-69, were randomly sampled in the suburbs of Copenhagen. We used the NEO Five-Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI), Cohen's Perceived Stress Scale and the General Self-Efficacy Scale. Negative associations were found between perceived stress and extroversion, conscientiousness, agreeableness, and openness - the latter initially non-significant - whilst neuroticism had a positive association. The associations with agreeableness and openness became positive and significant, respectively, when GSE was included. All five personality-stress models were mediated by GSE, with extroversion and conscientiousness having the strongest mediating effect. The strongest stress-association was found for neuroticism. GSE was shown to change the impact and interpretation of the personality dimensions on perceived stress. These results indicate that GSE is an important factor to consider in the link between personality and perceived stress.
