Influencia de la personalidad en factores psicosociales y la salud mental de la población adulta ecuatoriana del cantón Biblián, parroquia Turupamba

Abstract

Abstract: This study described psychosocial variables and related personality traits with health indicators in the adult population of Turupamba parish, Biblián canton. The methodology was quantitative, non-experimental-transversal design, descriptive and correlational. Through the application of validated questionnaires (TIPI 10, K-SF-42, BRIEF A, CEY-S3, PHQ-4) and statistical analysis, the predominant personality traits were identified and described, covering dimensions such as openness to new experiences, responsibility, extroversion, affability, and emotional stability. The results showed that the most predominant personality traits were responsibility followed by openness to experience. A slow life history was evident in most respondents, which indicates that they have long-term expectations with risk aversion and a lower perception of impulsivity. In addition, the results revealed intriguing patterns in the levels of anxiety and depression, highlighting significant differences between men and women. It is concluded that this information can inform specific mental health intervention and promotion strategies that address the needs of each gender. This study recommends providing coping strategies, especially in improving emotional stability.
