Negative emotional states, such as stress, anxiety, and depression, are prevalent in university students. Personality traits have been shown to be associated with a wide range of behaviors in students, such as academic motivation, achievement, and social well-being. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between the Big Five personality traits and negative emotion states in university students in Taiwan. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 580 university students in Taiwan. Negative emotional states were evaluated using the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21) and the Big Five personality traits were measured using the 48-item Big Five Inventory. A hierarchical linear regression analysis was used to assess the factors associated with DASS-21 scores. Neuroticism (standardized beta [std. β] = 0.45, < 0.001) and openness (std. β = 0.12, = 0.003) were significantly associated with DASS-21 scores, while agreeableness (std. β = -0.10, = 0.007) was significantly and inversely associated with DASS-21 scores. Personality traits could be used to identify students at risk of negative emotional states and to undertake appropriate preventive strategies.
负性情绪状态，如压力、焦虑和抑郁，在大学生中很常见。研究表明，人格特质与学生的广泛行为有关，如学习动机、成就和社会幸福感。本研究旨在探讨台湾大学生大五人格特质与负性情绪状态的关系。采用横断面研究，对台湾 580 名大学生进行调查。使用抑郁焦虑压力量表-21（DASS-21）评估负性情绪状态，使用 48 项大五人格量表评估大五人格特质。采用分层线性回归分析评估与 DASS-21 评分相关的因素。神经质（标准化β[std.β] = 0.45， < 0.001）和开放性（std.β=0.12， = 0.003）与 DASS-21 评分显著相关，而宜人性（std.β= -0.10， = 0.007）与 DASS-21 评分显著负相关。人格特质可用于识别有负性情绪状态风险的学生，并采取适当的预防策略。
