Investigating The Role Of Personality Traits In Coping With Life Stressors

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between personality traits and the ability to cope with life stressors. Through a thorough analysis of existing literature and primary data, this research investigates how various personality characteristics, such as emotional stability, openness to experience, extraversion, agreeableness, and conscientiousness, influence individuals' coping mechanisms in response to life stressors. The study also explores the impact of these traits on mental well-being and personal growth, specifically within the Pakistani context. The findings suggest that certain personality traits play a significant role in enhancing adaptive coping strategies, thereby promoting psychological resilience in the face of adversity. The study calls for integrating personality assessment into mental health interventions to foster more personalized and effective coping strategies.
