Stress responses vary with individual differences in sensitivity to stressful stimulus. Individuals with stress susceptible personalities are facing an increased risk for developing various stress-related diseases. Epigenetic mechanisms, gene variants and personality are the key factors associated with individual differences. Although many studies have reported stress susceptible personalities and stress resilient personality, its underlying neural and hormonal mechanism have not been investigated yet. In this study we propose a new type E personality which turns stressful stimulus into eustress by positive perspectives. Type E personality, characterized by optimistic perspective, gratitude, charity work, social support, altruistic, religious activities and affective communication is closely associated with enhancing stress resilience through modulating immune, neuronal and endocrine systems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
