Abstract

In this study we want to find out if the coping strategies formulated by Lazarus and Folkman (1986) are related to the personality traits of the model of the Five Personality Factors of Costa and McCrae. According to the followers of the Five Factors model, personality is involved in problem solving and coping with stress. 442 adult women from the province of León (Spain) participated in the study. Two instruments were applied: The Ways of Coping Questionnaire (WCQ) to measure the coping process and the NEO FFI to evaluate the Five factors of normal personality. The data were treated in  the SPSS with descriptive and comparatives analyzes. The results show that women who use coping strategies aimed at solving the problem are those who obtain higher scores in Responsibility, Extraversion and Mental Aperture and lower scores in Neuroticism; while the higher ones in Neuroticism mainly use the Escape coping mode.
