Factores de personalidad y su relación con los estilos de afrontamiento al estrés.

Abstract

In the present work on the influence of personality factors in the stress coping process, a comprehensive theoretical review was carried out on the variables of interest and their relevance to organizational psychology. In addition, a correlational study was conducted in a convenience sample of 92 teachers from three schools in Cúcuta, with the objective of analyzing the relationship between the personality factors proposed by the Big Five model and stress coping styles. Extraversion, Affability, Responsibility and Intellect factors were found to be related to active and problem-focused coping strategies; while Neuroticism is associated with passive and emotion-focused strategies. Furthermore, the implications of these results and their relationship with the available scientific literature are discussed.
