These personality traits can help people survive, and even thrive, during the pandemic
The Top 4 Traits Associated with Psychological Resilience During the PandemicEmotionally stable respondents—that is, people who rated themselves as someone who"handles stress well" and"doesn't get nervous easily"—showed the highest degree of psychological resilience during the pandemic. Conversely, respondents who scored low on emotional stability experienced the most loneliness and unhappiness as a result of the pandemic.
The future-positive personality describes someone who is goal-oriented and hard-working. Future-positive types spend a large portion of their mental energy planning for the future and mapping out paths on how to get to where they want to be. Moreover, their focus on achievement sometimes comes at a cost to their personal relationships. The researchers found these personalities to be the second most successful in staving off the stress of the pandemic.
Interestingly, past-negative personality types—those who wish things would have turned out differently and regret missing important opportunities and experiences in their lives—showed a high degree of loneliness and unhappiness. This reinforces the view that negative personality traits become even more negative when faced with the stress and uncertainty of the pandemic.
This research was part of a broader effort by the team at Nixplay to understand the extent to which missing out on important events and milestones is negatively impacting people's psychological well-being, and what can be done about it. The team found that many people are turning to technology as a means to stay connected and boost their happiness during this uncertain time. The most common forms of communication were phone calls, text messages, social media, and video calls.
