Research suggests that an individual's personality traits may mediate the relationship between social support and mental health. This study uses two national data sets to test a conceptual model that integrates personality, social support, negative interactions, and psychological distress. Results suggest that, beyond the influence of personality, social support is negatively associated with psychological distress, and negative interactions are positively associated with such distress. The findings also suggest that personality has direct and indirect effects, through social support and negative interactions, on psychological distress. Findings specify how positive and negative facets of relationships and personality influence mental health outcomes.
研究表明，个体的人格特质可能会调节社会支持与心理健康之间的关系。本研究使用两个全国性数据集来检验一个整合了人格、社会支持、负面互动和心理困扰的概念模型。结果表明，除了人格的影响外，社会支持与心理困扰呈负相关，负面互动与心理困扰呈正相关。研究结果还表明，人格通过社会支持和负面互动对心理困扰有直接和间接影响。研究结果明确了人际关系和人格的积极和消极方面如何影响心理健康结果。
