In March 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) had declared the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Three weeks after WHO's declaration, almost 900,000 cases of COVID-19 were confirmed, with more than 43,000 deaths worldwide. Containment measures were recommended, such as social distancing and hand hygiene. Although they are known to be helpful to slow down the spread of the COVID-19, the efficiency of these measures depends on people's adherence. We explore whether personality traits account for variations in the commitment to the COVID-19 containment measures. The sample consisted of 814 Brazilian adults who answered a questionnaire about adherence to COVID-19 containment measures (COVID-19 questionnaire), factors of the Personality Inventory for DSM-5 (PID-5), and the affective resonance factor of the Affective and Cognitive Measure of Empathy (ACME). We conducted a network analysis. All connections observed in the network analysis were significant (). Empathy was the personality trait to present more connections to the COVID-19 questionnaire variables. The strongest positive connection was observed for emotional lability (PID-5) and the tendency to be concern about others getting the COVID-19 (COVID-19 questionnaire). Our findings indicated that empathy and emotional lability might be key traits directly associated with the propensity to adhere to the COVID-19 containment measures.
2020年3月，世界卫生组织（WHO）宣布2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行。在WHO宣布三周后，全球确诊了近90万例COVID-19病例，死亡人数超过43000人。建议采取遏制措施，如保持社交距离和手部卫生。尽管已知这些措施有助于减缓COVID-19的传播，但这些措施的效果取决于人们的遵守情况。我们探讨人格特质是否能解释人们对COVID-19遏制措施的遵守差异。样本包括814名巴西成年人，他们回答了一份关于遵守COVID-19遏制措施的问卷（COVID-19问卷）、《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第5版人格量表（PID-5）以及共情情感与认知测量（ACME）的情感共鸣因子。我们进行了网络分析。在网络分析中观察到的所有联系都是显著的（）。共情是与COVID-19问卷变量联系最多的人格特质。情感不稳定（PID-5）与担心他人感染COVID-19的倾向（COVID-19问卷）之间观察到最强的正相关。我们的研究结果表明，共情和情感不稳定可能是与遵守COVID-19遏制措施倾向直接相关的关键特质。
