Influencia de la personalidad en factores psicosociales y la salud mental en la muestra adulta del sector suroeste de la ciudad de Guayaquil

Abstract

Abstract: This research aimed to explore the relationships between psychosocial variables, personality traits and mental health in Ecuadorian adults. Using assessment instruments such as the TIPI 10, K-SF-42, Young's schema questionnaire, BRIEF A and PHQ 4, 38 participants of both sexes, aged 18 to 64 years, residing in the Southwest of the city of Guayaquil were examined. The methodology applied in this research is quantitative, non-experimental, cross-sectional, descriptive and correlational, which revealed a homogeneous distribution in personality traits, highlighting Openness to Experience with the highest score, while Extraversion and Emotional Stability have lower mean scores. The results indicate moderate levels of life history, adverse experiences and impulsivity. Mental health, divided by gender, suggests a tendency towards greater anxiety and depression in women. In addition, inverse correlations were found between Emotional Stability and Extraversion with anxiety, and Emotional Stability and Responsibility with depression. These findings provide detailed insight into the interaction between personality traits and mental health in the population studied.
