The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between personality traits and hoarding behavior during the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. An online survey was conducted among 530 Japanese adults (274 women; = 44.26, = 8.43) who were living in Tokyo when a state of emergency was declared. Personality traits were assessed using measures of the Big Five personality traits and dispositional greed. They also responded to measures of tendencies to hoard essential and countermeasure products during the COVID-19 pandemic. Correlation analysis revealed that Extraversion, Neuroticism, Openness, and dispositional greed were positively associated with hoarding behavior. Multiple regression analysis revealed that individuals with high Agreeableness, Neuroticism, Openness, and dispositional greed tended to hoard products. The present findings suggest that personality traits account for behavioral responses to the COVID-19 pandemic in Japan. The emergent relationship between hoarding behavior and each personality trait is discussed in relation to the existing literature.
本研究的目的是调查在冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行期间人格特质与囤积行为之间的关系。对530名日本成年人（274名女性；平均年龄 = 44.26岁，标准差 = 8.43）进行了一项在线调查，这些人在东京宣布进入紧急状态时居住在东京。使用大五人格特质量表和特质贪婪量表对人格特质进行评估。他们还对在COVID-19大流行期间囤积必需品和应对措施产品的倾向进行了测评。相关分析显示，外向性、神经质、开放性和特质贪婪与囤积行为呈正相关。多元回归分析显示，宜人性、神经质、开放性得分高以及有特质贪婪的个体倾向于囤积产品。目前的研究结果表明，人格特质是日本对COVID-19大流行行为反应的原因。本文结合现有文献讨论了囤积行为与各个人格特质之间的新出现的关系。
