Psychological literature shows that certain personality types make a person more or less prone to frequent stress. Specific personality characteristics are thought to determine what causes stress in individuals. To test the correlation between personality type and stress, I conducted three interviews with people of different personality types. By interviewing codependent, type A and robust individuals; I discovered that there was a correlation between personality, stressors, and coping techniques. The first interviewee was classified as moderately codependent. A codependent person is prone to stress due to many of the traits and behaviors they possess. This personality is called an "addictive personality", its "solution" being behaviors aimed at gaining self-validation, and the "high" being short-lived; force repeated episodes of external validations. A person of this type is usually a well-liked perfectionist who is extremely loyal, but has a tendency to manipulate others through acts of generosity. This behavior is an attempt to control others and their environment to compensate for lack of self-control. They thrive at resolving emergency situations and tend to put the needs of others before their own. Even though they are experiencing the crisis, they feel victims of their lifestyle and insinuate that others do not give them the credit and gratitude they deserve for their sacrifices. Codependent people have chronic feelings of inadequacy despite being high performers in the multiple tasks they take on and often look to others for approval. The most stress-prone characteristic of this personality type is an overreaction in many situations by expressing worry and worry in the form of love, even making a small middle of paper ......tion as coping techniques daily adaptation to gain perspective. life. Thus, personality can make a person prone to stress or resistant to stress. Personality plays a major role in how much stress a person experiences and what situations will make them stressed. Understanding how the specific characteristics of each personality determine what types of situations will be perceived as stressful could help to effectively use adapted coping techniques. Through interviews with three individuals with different personalities, I conclude that the psychological literature is correct in its assumptions that certain personalities are more or less prone to stress. In all three cases, there were direct connections between what the literature described as their personalities and the situations they perceived as stressful..
