The Coronavirus pandemic undeniably represents a global health threat unprecedented in living memory leading to very distinct behavioral, cognitive, and psychological responses to the crisis. We argue that the different ways of responding to the pandemic are rooted in personal dispositions and provide evidence regarding the function and value of the Big Five framework in understanding the pandemic personality. Using 18 samples from the six European countries most affected at the onset of the pandemic (overall N = 18,307), we find that most of the Big Five effects vary across countries and pandemic phases. However, while neuroticism is clearly linked to pandemic threat perception and emotional responses to the Covid-19 pandemic, conscientiousness is mainly related to exposure to pandemic hazard, preferences regarding political measures, and tolerance of epidemiologically undesirable behavior. Our findings are rich in implications for public health politics, policy-makers and social cohesion.

冠状病毒大流行无疑是人们记忆中前所未有的全球健康威胁，导致了对这场危机截然不同的行为、认知和心理反应。我们认为，应对大流行的不同方式植根于个人性格，并提供了关于大五人格框架在理解大流行性格方面的功能和价值的证据。我们使用了来自疫情初期受影响最严重的六个欧洲国家的18个样本（总计N = 18307），发现大五人格的大多数影响在不同国家和疫情阶段有所不同。然而，虽然神经质显然与大流行威胁感知以及对新冠疫情的情绪反应有关，但尽责性主要与接触大流行危害、对政治措施的偏好以及对流行病学上不良行为的容忍度有关。我们的研究结果对公共卫生政策、政策制定者和社会凝聚力具有丰富的启示意义。
