The association between coping and personality was examined in a sample of 204 cardiac catheterization patients who were asked to evaluate the use of specific coping strategies used to deal with their cardiac catheterization. Personality, as measured by the NEO Five-Factor Inventory (FFI), was moderately correlated with coping measures. In multivariate analyses, after considering confounding factors, Neuroticism was positively and Extraversion was negatively related to avoidance coping and Neuroticism was negatively associated with counting one's blessings as a coping strategy. Personality was not related to either problem solving or seeking social support coping strategies for individuals experiencing a cardiac catheterization. However, important covariates were associated with coping strategies. Not being married was negatively correlated with use of seeking social support and not having a confidant was negatively related with seeking social support and positively with avoidance. These results suggest that there are specific relationships between personality and coping, but these relationships are, for the most part, moderate in persons coping with a cardiac catheterization, and that coping processes are associated with individual differences in available social resources.
在204名接受心脏导管插入术的患者样本中，研究了应对方式与人格之间的关联。这些患者被要求评估用于应对心脏导管插入术的特定应对策略的使用情况。通过大五人格量表（NEO FFI）测量的人格与应对方式存在中度相关性。在多变量分析中，在考虑混杂因素后，神经质与回避应对呈正相关，外向性与回避应对呈负相关，神经质与感恩作为一种应对策略呈负相关。对于接受心脏导管插入术的个体，人格与解决问题或寻求社会支持的应对策略均无关联。然而，重要的协变量与应对策略相关。未婚与寻求社会支持的使用呈负相关，没有知己与寻求社会支持呈负相关，与回避呈正相关。这些结果表明，人格与应对之间存在特定关系，但在应对心脏导管插入术的人群中，这些关系大多为中度，并且应对过程与可用社会资源的个体差异相关。
