The results obtained in this research show and determine that the most predominant personality trait is responsibility, followed by affability and finally emotional stability. Regarding the difference between psychosocial factors, the male sex was found to be slightly predominant in the sample, with moderate and statistically significant negative correlations between responsibility and emotional stability with anxiety and depression. Therefore, the study highlights the need to promote promotion and primary prevention programs to strengthen personality and mental health in the Ecuadorian context.
