This project aims at studying the link between personality as assessed by NEO PI-R and sensitivity to daily hassles (minor stressors), as assessed by a well-validated and population-specific scale, in a young student population. Results show a significant correlation between discomfort and frequency of minor stressors, and neuroticism. This study also highlights personality profiles as a function of high or low levels of perceived stress. Students more sensitive to minor stressors differ from less sensitive students in 8 NEO PI-R personality facets (anxiety, hunger-hostility, depression, social shyness, impulsivity, compliance, self-discipline), including the six facets characterizing neuroticism. This study establishes a clear link between personality and perception of stressful factors in the environment. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2017 APA, all rights reserved)
