The relationship between Eysenck's personality traits, coping styles and moods

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of Eysenck's personality traits on coping styles and moods, as well as the effects of coping styles on moods. On the sample of 177 subjects Eysenck's Personality Questionnaire (EPQ), a Coping orientation to Problems Experienced questionnaire (COPE) and mood scale aimed at assessing the usual positive and negative moods were administered. The results obtained show a strong direct effect of Eysenck's personality traits on positive and negative moods, while their effects on coping styles in stressful situations were considerably lower. Coping styles, especially avoidance and problem-focused, contribute to the emotional outcomes directly and indirectly, mediating the effects of Eysenck's personality traits on moods.
