Relations between personality and coping: A meta-analysis.
Abstract
Personality may directly facilitate or constrain coping, but relations of personality to coping have been inconsistent across studies, suggesting a need for greater attention to methods and samples. This meta-analysis tested moderators of relations between Big Five personality traits and coping using 2,653 effect sizes drawn from 165 samples and 33,094 participants. Personality was weakly related to broad coping (e.g., Engagement or Disengagement), but all 5 traits predicted specific strategies. Extraversion and Conscientiousness predicted more problem-solving and cognitive restructuring, Neuroticism less. Neuroticism predicted problematic strategies like wishful thinking, withdrawal, and emotion-focused coping but, like Extraversion, also predicted support seeking. Personality more strongly predicted coping in young samples, stressed samples, and samples reporting dispositional rather than situation-specific coping. Daily versus retrospective coping reports and self-selected versus researcher-selected stressors also moderated relations between personality and coping. Cross-cultural differences were present, and ethnically diverse samples showed more protective effects of personality. Richer understanding of the role of personality in the coping process requires assessment of personality facets and specific coping strategies, use of laboratory and daily report studies, and multivariate analyses.

“Individuals high in neuroticism are more likely to perceive ambiguous situations as threatening, are more reactive to social stressors (Connor-Smith & Flachsbart, 2007; Vollrath, 2001), and more sensitive to possible social rejection”
From Adolescent Loneliness and Negative Affect during the COVID-19 Pandemic: The Role of Extraversion and Neuroticism (2023) · cites this paper as Connor-Smith & Flachsbart, 2007
In the citing paper
“NNE is linked with multiple forms of maladaptive coping, including inaction, avoidance, and impulsivity (42, 44–46).”
From Pilot outcomes and exploration of treatment mechanisms using a culturally adapted version of the unified protocol for transdiagnostic treatment of emotional disorders to improve mental health symptoms, alcohol misuse, functional outcomes, and sleep quality in emergency responders (2025) · cites this paper as [45]
In the citing paper
“The vast literature on this topic revealed that the use of coping strategies is influenced by many variables, among which are situational demands, environmental and cultural aspects, personal characters [63], as well as individuals’ ability to tolerate uncertainty [59], and personality traits [69,70,71].”
In the citing paper
“For example, according to Leandro and Castillo [70], and Afshar et al. [71], maladaptive personality traits (e.g., neuroticism) positively correlate with emotion-focused and avoidant (dysfunctional) coping strategies; on the contrary, extraversion positively correlates with problem-focused and emotional-focused strategies [69].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
