The COVID-19 pandemic has tested people's coping and resilience. This article reviews research and scholarly work aiming to shed more light on personality-based factors that account for adjustment to the pandemic situation.
Most studies relied on a cross-sectional design and were conducted using personality dimensions based on the Big Five personality model. Findings suggest that high levels of neuroticism constitute a risk for pandemic-induced distress and poor overall coping. People with prominent extraversion, conscientiousness or agreeableness have generally demonstrated a good adjustment to the pandemic, including compliance with containment and mitigation measures imposed by the authorities to limit the spread of COVID-19. A few studies of individuals with borderline personality disorder identified social isolation as the most destabilising factor for them. Poor compliance with containment and mitigation measures has been strongly associated with various antisocial personality traits.
Personality-based factors account for some individual differences in coping with both COVID-19-related threat and distress and requirements to comply with containment and mitigation measures. Better understanding of these factors could contribute to a more effective adjustment to the challenges of future public health crises.
新冠疫情对人们的应对能力和适应能力提出了考验。本文旨在综述相关研究和学术工作，以进一步了解人格因素在多大程度上影响人们对疫情的适应。
大多数研究采用了横断面设计，研究维度基于大五人格模型。研究结果表明，神经质水平较高与疫情引发的痛苦和整体应对不良有关。具有外向性、尽责性和宜人性特征的人通常能很好地适应疫情，包括遵守当局为限制 COVID-19 传播而实施的控制和缓解措施。少数对边缘型人格障碍患者的研究发现，社交隔离对他们的影响最大。对控制和缓解措施的遵守程度与各种反社会人格特质密切相关。
人格因素在一定程度上影响了人们对 COVID-19 相关威胁、痛苦和遵守控制与缓解措施的要求的应对。更好地了解这些因素有助于人们更好地适应未来公共卫生危机带来的挑战。
