“…All Big 5 personality traits and nearly all coping strategies showed univariate associations with life satisfaction. With regard to personality, the results are in line with previous studies investigating neuroticism and extraversion in patients with rheumatic diseases [13][14][15], and with the assumption that openness to experience, agreeableness, and conscientiousness are also related to adjustment to rheumatic diseases. Turning to coping, the findings support previous research in patients with rheumatic diseases [10][11][12] and emphasize the relevance of coping in adjustment to rheumatic diseases.…”

“…Their differential choice model (a mediation model) implies that personality determines the choice of coping strategies, which in turn have an impact on outcomes. Previous research findings lend some support to the notion that personality and coping play a role in adjustment to rheumatic diseases [10][11][12][13][14][15].…”

Coping mediates the influence of personality on life satisfaction in patients with rheumatic diseases

A rheumatic disease can severely impair a person's quality of life. The degree of impairment, however, is not closely related to objective indicators of disease severity. This study investigated the influence and the interplay of core psychological factors, i.e., personality and coping, on life satisfaction in patients with rheumatic diseases. Particularly, it was tested whether coping mediates the effects of personality on life satisfaction. In a cross-sectional design, 158 patients diagnosed with a rheumatic disease completed questionnaires assessing the Big 5 personality traits (BFI-10), several disease-related coping strategies (EFK) and life satisfaction (HSWBS). Data were analyzed using a complex multiple mediation analysis with the Big 5 personality traits as predictors, coping strategies as mediators and life satisfaction as outcome. All personality traits and seven of the nine coping strategies were associated with life satisfaction (rs > |0.16|, ps ≤ 0.05). The mediation analysis revealed that personality traits had no direct, but rather indirect effects on life satisfaction through coping. Neuroticism had a negative indirect effect on life satisfaction through less active problem solving and more depressive coping (indirect effects > −0.03, ps < 0.05). Extraversion, agreeableness, and conscientiousness had positive indirect effects on life satisfaction through more active problem solving, less depressive coping and/or a more active search for social support (indirect effects > 0.06, ps < 0.05). Personality and coping play a role in adjustment to rheumatic diseases. The interplay of these variables should be considered in psychological interventions for patients with rheumatic diseases.

“…Meanwhile, low self-efficacy indicates low levels of self-confidence, negative self-evaluation, and the inability to produce a planned outcome when tasks are given (APPELBAUM & HARE 1996). High SE has been related to a wide range of physiological measures including lower catecholamine responsivity during stress (BANDURA et al 1985), pre-competitive anxiety and subjective performance among athletes (NICHOLLS 2010), and better psychological adjustment to highly stressful life changes and events, such as aging (KRAAIJ 2002, BENKA et al 2014.…”

The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to examine Self-Efficacy and Alexithymia as moderators between perceived social support and Stress among parents of children with Learning Disabilities. The convenience sample of the study consisted of 98 parents of children with Learning Disabilities from Ahwaz (Iran). This descriptive correlational study was conducted in 2014-15. Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), General Self-Efficacy Scale (GCE), Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20), and Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) were completed by parents. Hierarchical linear regression analyses were used to examine the moderating role of Self-Efficacy and Alexithymia. The results revealed that Self-Efficacy and Alexithymia were moderators in the relationship between Perceived social support and Stress. The findings supported the hypothesis that higher levels of self-efficacy (see: Figure 1) would be associated with lower levels of Stress, and that lower levels of Alexithymia (see: Figure 2) would be associated with lower levels of Stress.
