Abstract: (2654 Views)
Objective: The aim of this research was to examine the role of personality traits and coping styles on university students' mental health.
Method: In this analytical cross-sectional study, the abbreviated version of five factor inventory, the coping inventory for stressful situations and the general health questionnaire were applied on a sample of 328 subjects (177 male, 151 female). Using the path analysis, the direct and indirect effects of personality traits on coping styles and mental health were tested.
Results: The results obtained demonstrated that conscientiousness and openness have a significant positive effect and gender has a significant negative effect on task-oriented coping style, while openness and conscientiousness have a significant negative effect, and neuroticism and emotion-oriented coping have a significant positive effect on mental health. The indired effect of gender on mental health through task-oriented coping was significant and positive, while the indirect effect of extraversion and openness on mental health through emotion–oriented coping was significant and negative, and gender had a significant positive effect through emotion-oriented coping.
Conclusion: In general, the results of this research demonstrate that attention to the role of personality traits and coping styles is crucial in the study of mental health.
