Abstract

Abstract:The present study aimed to describe psychosocial variables in people from the Nueva Esperanza sector of Ventanas Canton and to relate personality traits with mental health indicators. In the development of the research, a quantitative, cross-sectional and correlational methodology was used, to collect information using the Ad Hoc Sociodemographic Questionnaire, Ten-Item Personality Inventory (TIPI 10), Life History: K-SF-42, Young's Schema Questionnaire for Adverse Experiences, Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (Impulsivity: BRIEF) and Anxiety and Depression Questionnaire PHQ 4. Among the findings, it is highlighted that the evaluated sample presented a fast life history, had a greater perception of adverse experiences and has less impulsive characteristics. The main personality traits identified in the Nueva Esperanza sector participants were responsibility, openness to experiences, and emotional stability, which have an impact on mental health. It was also evident that women are more likely to experience emotional difficulties related to anxiety and depression, with a minimal difference compared to men.
