Influencia de la personalidad en factores psicosociales y la salud mental de población adulta de Macará entre los años 2022 - 2023

Abstract

Abstract: Currently, the study of personality and mental health is important to develop strategies to prevent problems related to depression and anxiety (García et al., 2021). The objective of this research is to describe the psychosocial variables in the adult population of the city of Macará between the years 2022-2023, and to relate their personality traits with mental health indicators. To meet this objective, it was designed a quantitative, non-experimental, cross sectional, descriptive and correlational study. The population evaluated was 40 participants: 21 men and 19 women. The applied instruments were: Ad Hoc Sociodemographic Questionnaire; Ten Item Personality Inventory (TIPI-10); K-SF-42 Questionnaire; Young s Schema Questionnaire; BRIEF-A Questionnaire; PHQ-4 Questionnaire. The results obtained show that the personality that prevails among the participants is responsibility. In addition, the sample was characterized by a fast life history and a high rate of adverse experiences. Regarding the results by gender, men are more likely to have depression than women, but this relationship was inverted when anxiety was analysed.
