| Sumario: | <p id="p1">In our study, we investigated the interrelations and impact of the Big Five personality factors—neuroticism, extraversion, conscientiousness, agreeableness, openness—on depression and suicidal behavior. Neuroticism, being associated with emotional instability and sensitivity to stress, contributes substantially to increasing the risk of depression and ideation about suicide. Extraversion and conscientiousness have specific protective effects mediated by social support and efficient coping strategies. Whereas these roles of agreeableness and openness are more subtle and contribute to resilience in very context-dependent ways. Lastly, we also propose targeted interventions according to the characteristics of each Big Five personality trait, including cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based stress reduction for neuroticism, positive psychology interventions for extraversion, etc. Since then, future research directions shall be integrated into therapeutic approaches and comprehensive care models to reduce depression and suicidal behavior on an international scale.</p> |
