“…A large body of research has demonstrated the moderating role that individual differences in irritability exert on aggression as well as on others forms of deviant conduct across different ages and different domains of functioning (Caprara et al, , 2007Stanford, Greve, & Dickens, 1995). Recent longitudinal findings have shown that higher stability of irritability points to the biological roots of anger regulation (Caspi, 2006;Caspi, Henry, Mc Gee, Moffit, & Silva, 1995;Colder & Stice, 1998;Rothbart & Bates, 1998). This is in accordance with the literature on personality that traces irritability to temperament.…”

Researchers have stressed the importance of assessing individual differences in personality as an approach to understanding aggressive and deviant conduct across different contexts. This study investigated the moderation role of irritability, a specific aggression-related disposition, in the process of work stressors that are conducive to counterproductive work behavior (CWB) within the stressor-emotion model. From a total sample of 1,147 Italian workers (53.5% women), high-and low-irritability groups were identified. Then, using a multi-group structural equations model, we simultaneously examined all the relations in both high-and low-irritability groups, and investigated whether these relations were different between them. Results showed that job stressors elicited negative emotions that, in turn, lead to CWB. Moreover, only in high-irritability group some job stressors influenced CWB also directly. Overall irritability moderated mainly the relation among job stressors and CWB but not the relation among job stressors and negative emotions, with the only exception of role conflict. As well, irritability did not moderate the relation between emotion and CWB. Thus, high-irritability employees may be more prone to react aggressively to job stressors via multiple functioning paths. The principal differences between low-and high-irritability individuals could be how they manage the impact of perceived stressors on emotions and behavior.

“…Others argue sociability is a by-product of other features of extraversion (Lucas et al 2000). A connection has also been drawn between extraversion and the approach temperament; some now view extraversion as reflecting relative sensitivity of a general approach system (Depue & Collins 1999, Caspi & Shiner 2006, Caspi et al 2005, Elliott & Thrash 2002, Evans & Rothbart 2007.…”

“…Biological models assuming approach and avoidance temperaments have acquired a good deal of influence over the past decade (see Davidson 1998, Depue & Collins 1999, Caspi & Shiner 2006, Caspi et al 2005, Elliott & Thrash 2002, Fowles 1993, Gray 1994, Rothbart & Hwang 2005. They hold that approach and avoidance systems are supported partly by distinct brain areas, and that the sensitivity of each system (which varies among persons) influences behavior in response to environmental reward and threat cues.…”

Personality psychology addresses views of human nature and individual differences. Biological and goal-based views of human nature provide an especially useful basis for construing coping; the five-factor model of traits adds a useful set of individual differences. Coping-responses to adversity and to the distress that results-is categorized in many ways. Meta-analyses link optimism, extraversion, conscientiousness, and openness to more engagement coping; neuroticism to more disengagement coping; and optimism, conscientiousness, and agreeableness to less disengagement coping. Relations of traits to specific coping responses reveal a more nuanced picture. Several moderators of these associations also emerge: age, stressor severity, and temporal proximity between the coping activity and the coping report. Personality and coping play both independent and interactive roles in influencing physical and mental health. Recommendations are presented for ways future research can expand on the growing understanding of how personality and coping shape adjustment to stress.
