There is increasing evidence that dysfunctional personality traits, related to psychological maladjustment and psychopathology, can play an important role in a person's ability to cope with major stressful events. Relatively little is known about the specific effect of the emotional component on the relationship between maladaptive personality traits and psychological stress. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between the maladaptive personality traits of psychoticism, detachment, and negative affect, and psychological stress, considering the effects of COVID-19-related worries and emotional dysregulation. An online survey was administered to 1172 adult participants. A series of path analysis models showed that maladaptive personality traits (psychoticism, detachment, and negative affect) are related to psychological stress. COVID-19-related worries and emotional dysregulation partially explained this association. The results suggest that in the early months of 2022, during the reduction of government restrictions, although the world population was no longer in nationwide lockdown, the COVID-19-related emotional component could still explain, at least in part, the association between maladaptive personality traits and psychological stress.
越来越多的证据表明，与心理失调和精神病理学相关的功能失调性人格特质，可能在一个人应对重大压力事件的能力中发挥重要作用。关于情绪成分对适应不良人格特质与心理压力之间关系的具体影响，我们所知相对较少。因此，本研究的目的是探讨精神病态、疏离和消极情绪等适应不良人格特质与心理压力之间的关系，并考虑与新冠疫情相关的担忧和情绪调节障碍的影响。对1172名成年参与者进行了在线调查。一系列路径分析模型表明，适应不良人格特质（精神病态、疏离和消极情绪）与心理压力有关。与新冠疫情相关的担忧和情绪调节障碍部分解释了这种关联。结果表明，在2022年的前几个月，在政府放宽限制期间，尽管全球人口不再处于全国范围的封锁状态，但与新冠疫情相关的情绪成分至少可以部分解释适应不良人格特质与心理压力之间的关联。
