This study aims to investigate the relationship between personality traits—specifically neuroticism and conscientiousness—and the use of coping strategies. It is hypothesized that individuals high in neuroticism are more likely to engage in maladaptive coping strategies, due to their heightened perception of stress. Conversely, individuals with high levels of conscientiousness are expected to use adaptive coping strategies, which can be explained by their greater self-control. The study seeks to explore these associations and examine whether stress perception and self-control serve as partial mediating factors in the relationship between personality traits and coping behavior.
