最近的证据表明,更大的作用,应对反应的个性决定因素比传统上举行。 在这里介绍的两项研究中,我们研究了人格对社会支持和其他应对策略的使用在本科生样本的影响。 第一项研究调查了一系列自然发生的压力源的应对反应,发现外向性与寻求社会支持有关,乐观(在先前的研究中被确定为与应对密切相关)与解决问题有关,这两种倾向与回避呈负相关。 第二项研究使用了实验方法和多重人格测量来纠正第一项研究中可能存在的方法学问题。 外倾性再次被证明与寻求帮助有关;此外,这种关系解释了另一种性格,自尊-一种在文献中被认为是至关重要的结构。 人格变量,特别是外向性,在预测和解释的应对策略的选择的效用进行了讨论。
Recent evidence suggests a larger role for personality determinants of the coping response than has been traditionally held. In the two studies presented here, we examined the influence of personality on the use of social support and other coping strategies in samples of undergraduate students. The first study surveyed a range of coping responses to naturally occurring stressors and found that Extraversion was related to social support seeking, optimism (identified as germane to coping in prior research) was related to problem solving, and both dispositions were negatively related to avoidance. The second study used an experimental approach and multiple personality measures to correct for possible methodological problems in the first. Extraversion again proved to be associated with help seeking; moreover, this relationship accounted for that of another disposition, self-esteem-a construct considered crucial in the literature. The utility of personality variables, particularly Extraversion, in predicting and explaining the choice of a coping strategy is discussed.
