Abstract

Abstract: Personality and mental health are two fundamental axes in the optimal development of individuals. These are factors that must be addressed, especially when living in situations of risk such as migration. The objective of this study was to describe psychosocial variables in the Ecuadorian adult population living in Milano, Italy, and to relate personality traits with mental health indicators. This research subscribes to a quantitative methodology of non experimental cross-sectional design, with a correlational descriptive scope. The following instruments were used for this purpose: Ten-Element Personality Inventory (TIPI), Life History (KSF-42), Young's Schema Questionnaire, BRIEF A and PHQ. The results determined that the most prominent personality trait was responsibility; The most notable psychosocial variables were fast life history, low perception of adverse experiences and impulsive characteristics.
