Influencia de la personalidad en factores psicosociales y la salud mental de población adulta ecuatoriana de la Ciudad del Coca

Abstract

Abstract: This study explores the relationship between personality traits, psychosocial variables, and mental health in the adult population of Ciudad del Coca, Ecuador. The significance of the study lies in comprehending the links between personality and mental health, crucial for developing effective psychological care strategies. It focuses on identifying personality types, describing psychosocial variables, and examining anxiety and depression levels based on gender. Findings reveal that responsibility is the most prominent trait in this population. Psychosocial variables, such as life history, impulsivity, and adverse experiences, were uniformly presented. Results indicate higher levels of anxiety and depression in women, aligning with existing literature. The correlation between personality traits and mental health shows significant associations; extroversion is negatively related to anxiety, while agreeableness and responsibility are correlated with depression. The complex relationship between responsibility, anxiety, and depression underscores the need for personalized psychological interventions. These findings underscore the importance of considering diversity in the interactions between personality and mental health when developing tailored psychological care strategies for the studied population.
