Dissertação (Mestrado em Psicobiologia) - Centro de Biociências, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, Natal, 2022.https://repositorio.ufrn.br/handle/123456789/58383Personality is characterized by individual differences and influences behaviors, and it can be related to the way of dealing with adverse situations, in Psychology, known as coping. As problems are inherent in everyone's lives, given the COVID-19 pandemic situation, a unique opportunity arose to assess the relationship between coping and personality traits, as this could bring to light important paths regarding to intervention recommendations, respecting such individual differences. The first chapter of this dissertation presents the theoretical foundations on the theme of personality traits and coping. The second chapter, written as an article, is empirical and focused on investigating whether coping strategies differ among people with different expressions of personality traits; if individuals who score differently on the measured traits show a difference in the difficulty of coping with the pandemic; whether there is a difference in the group of activities considered relaxing and stress-relieving practices in relation to different personality traits. We had the participation of 175 people, through online data collection, who answered four questionnaires: Sociodemographic; Big Five inventory; Toulousaine Coping Scale; Relaxing practices. The data obtained were statistically analyzed from the creation of clusters, application of ANOVA and Kruskal-Wallis tests. We observed that the ways of facing the pandemic and the impacts caused by it, as well as the choice of relaxing practices, differ according to the expression of different profiles and different personality traits. From the present work, it was possible to provide more information on the subject in situations of great collective commotion, in addition to suggesting specific guidelines, related to the choice of relaxing practices, in a more individualized way, with a view to increasing the success of possible interventions.
