“…However, there is cross-sectional evidence that individuals with more extroverted personalities are more likely to use active coping strategies such as seeking social support (Lysaker, Wilt, Plascak-Hallberg, Brenner, & Clements, 2003), and that individuals with a greater degree of neurocognitive impairment are more likely to use avoidant strategies (Lysaker, Bryson, Lancaster, Evans, & Bell, 2002;Lysaker, Bryson, Marks, Greig, & Bell, 2004;Lysaker, Lancaster, Davis, & Clements, 2003;Pallanti, Quercioli, & Pazzagli, 1997;Ventura, Nuechterlein, Subotnick, Green, & Gitlin, 2004). One study found that neuroticism and neurocognitive impairment both predicted the use of avoidant strategies, while extroversion predicted a higher likelihood of seeking social support (Lysaker et al, 2004).…”
