In accordance with previous literature in patients with other chronic diseases (Schouws et al 2015;Vollmann et al 2016;Keramat Kar et al 2017;Yadav et al 2017;You et al 2018), we hypothesized that more maladaptive personality traits are associated with less effective coping strategies in patients with cCSC.…”

Purpose ‘Type A’ behavioural characteristics and psychosocial stress have traditionally been associated with chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (cCSC). However, a characteristical personality profile could not be identified in these patients and the presumed association with stress is subject to controversy, due to a lack of convincing studies using validated measuring instruments. In this study, we aimed to assess maladaptive personality traits, psychological morbidity and coping strategies in patients with cCSC, in order to identify potentially modifiable psychosocial aspects which could be used in support to current standard treatment. Methods A cross‐sectional study in a cohort of 86 patients with cCSC using validated questionnaires. Findings were compared to both Dutch population reference data and reference data from patients treated for Cushing's disease. Results Maladaptive personality traits were not more prevalent in patients with cCSC than in the general population, and psychological morbidity was not increased. Patients with cCSC were shown to make more use of passive coping, active coping and seeking social support. Interestingly, personality, psychological morbidity and coping characteristics of patients with cCSC were more comparable to features of patients treated for Cushing's disease than to population‐based data. Conclusion Maladaptive personality traits such as type A behavioural characteristics are not more prevalent in patients with cCSC. Patients with cCSC make more use of certain coping strategies, which could be addressed by psychosocial care to improve self‐management. Further research is needed establish whether the course of disease can be improved by altering coping and reducing ‘stress’.

“…Additionally, it would be impractical to examine all personality strengths simultaneously, and thus, this study exclusively probes personality strengths associated with stress buffering and NSSI. In light of previous research, mindfulness, hope, openness, grit and meaning in life are key and common personality strengths as resilience factors buffering against the effects of risks factors or promote individuals' mental health (Breedvelt et al, 2019;O'Neal et al, 2016;Ostafin & Proulx, 2020;Ropaj, 2023;Vollmann et al, 2016). However, in these studies, personality strengths were often explored in isolation, with no coherent framework to pinpoint.…”

Non-suicidal self-injury is an important public health problem, which is closely related to suicidal behavior and has attracted wide attention from researchers. This study recruited 1207 adolescents to systematically explore the relationship between cumulative risks and non-suicidal self-injuries using scales and questionnaires. It also compared the influences of various risk factors on self-injurious behaviour and researched the protective effect of personality strengths (mindfulness, hope, openness, grit, and meaning in life) as resilience factors. The results showed that the significant predictive effects of cumulative risks on adolescents’ non-suicidal self-injury and adverse childhood experiences are greater predictors of adolescents’ non-suicidal self-injury than negative life events. Mindfulness and meaning in life are two protectors co-moderating the effects of cumulative risk on adolescents’ non-suicidal self-injury. This study has important implications for a better understanding of resilience. And more intervention and prevention strategies based on personality strengths for individuals experiencing adversity and stress could be effective in improving their psychosocial functioning.

“…Contractor, A., Armour, Shea et al (2016) used a nationally representative sample of 1266 traumatic-exposed military veterans and evaluated typologies of DSM-5 PTSD symptoms and personality traits in regard to coping styles and treatment preferences. Vollmann, Pukrop, & Salewski (2016) investigated the effects and interplay of active personality (i.e. personality and coping) on life satisfaction in patients with rheumatic diseases; in particular, it's tested whether the coping mediates the impact of personality on life satisfaction.…”

With the drawing near of 2022 Winter Olympics, more and more Chinese are getting involved in ice and snow sports. This paper aims to disclose the effects of active personality on the participation in ice and snow sports. Firstly, four dimensions, namely, trust, participation, heredity and comprehension, were extracted from the literature to describe active personality. Next, a questionnaire survey was conducted on college students in two universities of Zhangjiakou, China, using the Proactive Personality Scale (Simplified Edition) and the Perceived Social Support Scale. Based on the survey results, the authors analyzed the current status of ice and snow sports among college students, and discussed the relationships between active personality, social support and the participation in ice and snow sports. The results show that both active personality and social support promote the participation in ice and snow sports among college students; the local government should increase the publicity on ice and snow sports to encourage mass participation. The research results provide new insights into the promotion of ice and snow sports in China.
