Personality dimensions, resilience, and depression during COVID-19 pandemic: A one-year longitudinal study

CONCLUSION: The decline in depression rates during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic was influenced by levels of resilience, which acted as a protective factor against the development of depressive symptoms. Notably, Neuroticism and Psychoticism predicted the risk of developing depressive symptoms. Implications for practical intervention in future crisis scenarios suggest the need for public health policy programs featuring personalized interventions that prioritize enhancing resilience.PMID:38493710 | DOI:10.1016/j.actpsy.2024.104229
