This investigation examined the role that personality and psychosocial factors play in relation to health outcomes (well-being, satisfaction and preventive behaviours), and coping with health problems. One hundred and seventy three participants completed measures of the Big Factors, Generalized Self-Efficacy (GSE) and Perceived Health Competence (PHC), along with health outcomes and coping. Results showed that traits were more connected to satisfaction, whereas GSE and PHC were linked most strongly with preventive behaviours and well-being, respectively. Furthermore traits accounted for a higher variance in instrumental and emotional coping, in comparison to GSE and PHC. Nevertheless PHC was the main predictor of these two kinds of coping. These findings suggest that the consideration of personality dimensions and psychosocial factors in tandem allows to clarify their predictive utility in the health domain.
Esta investigación examinó el papel que desempeñan la personalidad y determinados factores psicosociales en relación con criterios de salud (bienestar, satisfacción y conductas preventivas), y el afrontamiento ante los problemas de salud. Ciento setenta y tres participantes completaron medidas de los Cinco Factores, Percepción de Autoeficacia Generalizada (AEG) y Competencia Percibida en Salud (CPS), junto con criterios de salud y afrontamiento. Los resultados mostraron que los rasgos se conectaron más con la satisfacción, mientras que AEG y CPS se vincularon más estrechamente con las conductas preventivas y el bienestar, respectivamente. Asimismo los rasgos dieron cuenta de una mayor varianza del afrontamiento instrumental y emocional, en comparación con AEG y CPS. Sin embargo CPS fue el principal predictor de estos dos tipos de afrontamiento. Estos resultados sugieren que la consideración conjunta de las dimensiones de personalidad y los factores psicosociales permite clarificar su utilidad predictiva en el campo de la salud.
