People with acne vulgaris report a lower level of satisfaction with life and are more frequently classified as having Type D personalities than those without acne. This research examined, for the first time, the moderating and mediating role of personality type in the relationship between acne severity and satisfaction with life. Among 300 female nursing and cosmetology students ranging in age from 19 to 24 years (M = 21.28, SD = 1.39), 150 individuals (50%) presented with symptoms of acne vulgaris (AV group), while the other 150 (50%) were categorized as controls without acne vulgaris (WAV sample). A cross-sectional study was conducted using three self-report questionnaires: The Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), the Framingham Type A Scale (FTAS), and the Type D Scale (DS14). Acne vulgaris was clinically diagnosed using the Hellgren-Vincent Scale (HVS). The AV group scored significantly higher on the FTAS and DS14 and lower on the SWLS than the WAV sample. Life satisfaction correlated negatively with both the negative affectivity (NA) and social inhibition (SI) subscales of the DS14. The moderating role of the Type A behavioral pattern (TABP) and the mediating role of both NA and SI subscales of the DS14 were observed in the relationship between acne severity and satisfaction with life. The type of personality may explain the mechanism of the relationship between acne disease and subjective well-being. Therefore, psychological interventions and strategies focused on managing stress and mood may effectively improve satisfaction with life in people with acne.
患有寻常痤疮的人报告生活满意度较低，并且比没有痤疮的人更容易被归类为具有 D 型人格。这项研究首次考察了人格类型在痤疮严重程度与生活满意度之间的关系中的调节和中介作用。在年龄在 19 至 24 岁之间的 300 名护理和美容专业的女性学生中（M = 21.28，SD = 1.39），有 150 人（50%）表现出寻常痤疮的症状（AV 组），而另外 150 人（50%）被归类为没有寻常痤疮的对照组（WAV 样本）。使用三个自我报告问卷进行了横断面研究：生活满意度量表（SWLS）、弗莱明汉 A 型量表（FTAS）和 D 型量表（DS14）。寻常痤疮采用 Hellgren-Vincent 量表（HVS）进行临床诊断。AV 组在 FTAS 和 DS14 上的得分明显高于 WAV 样本，而在 SWLS 上的得分则较低。生活满意度与 DS14 的负性情感（NA）和社交抑制（SI）分量表呈负相关。在痤疮严重程度与生活满意度之间的关系中，观察到 A 型行为模式（TABP）的调节作用以及 DS14 的 NA 和 SI 分量表的中介作用。人格类型可能解释了痤疮疾病与主观幸福感之间关系的机制。因此，针对管理压力和情绪的心理干预和策略可能会有效地提高痤疮患者的生活满意度。
