Personality traits linked to lasting pandemic mental distress
Original: Personality traits may help explain persistent mental distress during COVID pandemic
New research suggests personality traits may help explain why some people experienced persistent mental distress during the COVID-19 pandemic while others recovered more quickly. The findings point to individual differences in temperament as a factor in long-term psychological effects of the pandemic, alongside social and economic pressures. Mental health researchers say the results could help identify groups most at risk in future crises.
Why now: Interest in understanding why some people suffered lasting psychological effects from the pandemic while others did not.
