Influencia de la personalidad en factores psicosociales y la salud mental de población adulta ecuatoriana de la parroquia de Calderón - Quito.

Abstract

Abstract: Personality has been studied due to its importance as a determinant of people's attitudes, thoughts and feelings and related to constructs such as life history, impulsivity, adverse experiences, anxiety and depression. The objective of this research is to describe psychosocial variables in the Ecuadorian adult population of the Calderón parish in the city of Quito and to relate personality traits with mental health indicators. To achieve this, a sample of 49 people was used with a non-experimental investigation, cross-sectional, descriptive and correlational design and instruments such as the Ad Hoc Sociodemographic Questionnaire, Ten-item Personality Inventory (TIPI 10); Life history (K SF-42); Young's Schema Questionnaire (BRIEF A) and Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ 4). The results showed responsibility and openness to experience as the most outstanding traits, a fast life history, low impulsivity and a lower perception of adverse experiences. Likewise, the levels of anxiety and depression are not worrisome, but they have a higher incidence in women. Finally, it was found that there was a significant negative correlation between emotional stability and anxiety.
