Previous research has indicated that humor, optimism, and perfectionism are ubiquitous human tendencies and traits affecting the performance and coping styles of women in the work place. The purpose of the present series of studies was to provide a more rigorous test of the hypothesis that certain personality attributes buffer the impact of daily hassles on health outcomes among female executives. Three studies were conducted to examine how perfectionism, humor, and optimism moderate the deleterious effects of daily hassles on self-esteem, burnout, and physical health. Hierarchical multiple regression analyses revealed that all attributes significantly moderated the relationship between daily hassles and self-esteem maintenance, emotional exhaustion, and physical illness. A fourth study examined the correlations between high levels of perfectionism, humor, and optimism and female executives' use of different coping strategies and orientations. The results provide implications for the early socialization and management training of female executives working in stressful environments.
先前的研究表明，幽默、乐观和完美主义是普遍存在的人类倾向和特质，会影响职场女性的表现和应对方式。本系列研究的目的是对以下假设进行更严格的检验：某些人格特质能够缓冲日常烦恼对女性高管健康状况的影响。我们进行了三项研究，以考察完美主义、幽默和乐观如何缓和日常烦恼对自尊、倦怠和身体健康的有害影响。分层多元回归分析表明，所有特质都显著缓和了日常烦恼与自尊维持、情绪耗竭和身体疾病之间的关系。第四项研究考察了高度完美主义、幽默和乐观与女性高管使用不同应对策略和取向之间的相关性。研究结果为在压力环境下工作的女性高管的早期社会化和管理培训提供了启示。
