Big Five Personality Traits and the General Factor of Personality as Moderators of Stress and Coping Reactions Following an Emergency Alarm on a Swiss University Campus
In conclusion, both the GFP and Big Five traits significantly moderate stress responses following a stressful life event.

These findings support the notion that personality influences how persons react in the face of adversity. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. (Source: Stress and Health)

Dyadic Transition to Parenthood: A Longitudinal Assessment of Personal Growth among Parents of Pre‐ and Full‐term Infants

Telepressure and College Student Employment: The Costs of Staying Connected Across Social Contexts

The current study explores whether an adapted version of the workplace telepressure measure is relevant to general social interactions that rely on information and communication technologies. We validated a general telepressure measure in a sample of college students and found psychometric properties similar to the original work...

Path Analysis of Acculturative Stress Components and Their Relationship with Depression Among International Students in China
Abstract
Acculturative stress prevents international students from adapting to the host culture, increasing their risk for depression.
