分析个性如何影响COVID-19大流行期间的心理健康恶化非常重要，因为它可以带来更个性化的心理或精神治疗。根据大流行之前和期间代表英国人口的纵向数据集，我们记录了个性可能是一个重要因素。特别是，宜人性是一个负面的预测因素，而开放性，在较低程度上，外倾性是积极的预测因素;神经质的影响是令人惊讶的弱。在女性受访者中，认知技能和开放性，以及在非英国白色受访者中，外向性和开放性是心理健康恶化的特别强的预测因素。事实上，神经质的影响比预期的要弱，这是一个有趣的谜题。多项研究致力于确定COVID-19大流行对不同性别、年龄和种族的心理健康的影响。然而，人们很少关注COVID-19对不同性格的不同影响。我们使用英国家庭纵向研究（UKHLS），这是一项代表英国人口的大规模小组调查。UKHLS允许我们根据同一受访者的“五大”人格特征和认知技能，评估他们在COVID-19期间之前和期间的心理健康状况。我们发现，在COVID-19期间，具有更外向和开放人格特质的人报告的心理健康恶化程度更高，而那些在宜人性方面得分较高的人受到的影响较小。开放性的影响尤其强烈：在COVID-19期间，在12项一般健康问卷（GHQ-12）测试中，多一个SD预测多0.23个心理健康恶化症状。特别是，对于女性来说，认知技能和开放性是心理健康恶化的强预测因子，而对于非英国白色受访者，这些预测因子是外向性和开放性。神经质强烈预测跨部门的心理健康状况更差，但它不会导致大流行期间的严重恶化。该研究的结果对于包括潜在的混淆变量，如身体健康，家庭收入和工作状态（如失业或休假）的变化是稳健的。
Significance Analyzing how personality affects mental health deterioration during the COVID-19 pandemic is important because it can lead to more personalized psychological or psychiatric treatments. Drawing on a longitudinal dataset representative of the UK population before and during the pandemic, we document that personality can be an important factor. In particular, agreeableness is a negative predictor, while openness and, to a lower extent, extraversion are positive predictors; the effect of neuroticism is surprisingly weak. In female respondents, cognitive skills and openness, and in non-British White respondents, extraversion and openness are particularly strong predictors of mental health deterioration. The fact that neuroticism has an effect that is weaker than expected represents an interesting puzzle. Several studies have been devoted to establishing the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health across gender, age, and ethnicity. However, much less attention has been paid to the differential effect of COVID-19 according to different personalities. We do this using the UK Household Longitudinal Study (UKHLS), a large-scale panel survey representative of the UK population. The UKHLS allows us to assess the mental health of the same respondent before and during the COVID-19 period based on their “Big Five” personality traits and cognitive skills. We find that during the COVID-19 period, individuals who have more extravert and open personality traits report a higher mental health deterioration, while those scoring higher in agreeableness are less affected. The effect of openness is particularly strong: One more SD predicts up to 0.23 more symptoms of mental health deterioration in the 12-item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12) test during the COVID-19 period. In particular, for females, cognitive skills and openness are strong predictors of mental health deterioration, while for non-British White respondents, these predictors are extraversion and openness. Neuroticism strongly predicts worse mental health cross-sectionally, but it does not lead to significantly stronger deterioration during the pandemic. The study’s results are robust to the inclusion of potential confounding variables such as changes in physical health, household income, and job status (like unemployed or furloughed).
