Study on Resilience as a Mediating Factor in Relation Between Personality Type and Coping Strategies: A Review

Abstract

Stress is a complicated psychological concept that is impacted by resilience, coping mechanisms, and personality type. While personality types, especially Type A and Type B, influence how people react to stress, coping strategies, which can be classified as problem-focused or emotion-focused, are essential for stress adaption. Personality and coping strategies are mediated by resilience, which is the ability of an individual to bounce back from adversity. According to empirical research, those who are very resilient use adaptive coping strategies, which improves psychological outcome. While emotion-focused coping is frequently connected with lower resilience, task –oriented coping has been linked to increased resilience. Additionally, studies show that psychological hardiness and social support improve resilience, which in turn affects coping efficiency and general well-being. This review examines how personality, coping strategies, and resilience interact, highlighting the mediating function of resilience and its implications for mental health treatments.
