The aim of the current study was to investigate the intersecting roles of dysfunctional personality traits and coping styles in relation to psychological distress during the Italian national lockdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants included 633 adults who completed questionnaires of maladaptive personality traits, coping styles, and psychological distress. Results indicated that all the maladaptive traits were associated with psychological distress with magnitude of associations strongest for Negative Affect and weakest for Antagonism. Maladaptive traits were also generally positively associated with avoidant/maladaptive and negatively associated with acceptance and positive reframing, forms of coping. A series of path analyses further demonstrated that coping strategies partially explained associations between maladaptive personality traits and psychological distress. All told, results suggest that during an unprecedented stressful time, associations between maladaptive personality traits and psychological distress may be, at least in part, explained by maladaptive coping strategies.
本研究的目的是调查功能失调的人格特质和应对方式在2019年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行导致的意大利全国封锁期间与心理困扰之间的交叉作用。参与者包括633名成年人，他们完成了关于适应不良人格特质、应对方式和心理困扰的问卷调查。结果表明，所有适应不良特质均与心理困扰相关，其中消极情感的关联程度最强，敌对性的关联程度最弱。适应不良特质通常也与回避/适应不良应对方式呈正相关，与接受和积极重新评价等应对方式呈负相关。一系列路径分析进一步表明，应对策略部分解释了适应不良人格特质与心理困扰之间的关联。总体而言，结果表明，在一个前所未有的压力时期，适应不良人格特质与心理困扰之间的关联可能至少部分是由适应不良应对策略所解释的。
