Abstract

Abstract: This study addresses the intricate intersection between contemporary psychology, personality, and mental health in the adult population of the northern sector of Tulcán, Ecuador, during 2023. It focuses on the relationship between personality, psychosocial factors, and mental health, emphasizing the importance of considering specific cultural and socioeconomic aspects. The research utilizes the Five-Factor Model to explore personality and analyzes how these individual traits affect the perception and management of psychosocial experiences. Using a non-experimental design, the methodology is based on the observation and analysis of phenomena in their natural context, employing a quantitative approach through structured surveys. The selected sample of 86,498 Ecuadorian adults is considered representative of the total population of the northern sector of Tulcán in 2023. The results reveal a balanced personality profile in the population, with significant correlations between personality and perceived stress levels. A negative correlation between responsibility and stress is highlighted. Additionally, the research shows that personality influences life satisfaction, with positive correlations between responsibility, emotional stability, and overall satisfaction. These findings suggest that reliability and emotional stability positively contribute to the subjective well-being of the adult population in the northern sector of Tulcán in 2023.
