CARVALHO, Lucas de Francisco e ARRUDA, Wellington. ASSOCIATION BETWEEN ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION SYMPTOMS WITH PATHOLOGICAL PERSONALITY TRAITS. Psicol. caribe [online]. 2016, vol.33, n.2, pp.133-145. ISSN 0123-417X. https://doi.org/10.14482/psdc.33.2.7290.
The aim of this research was to investigate, in a non-clinical sample, whether symptoms of anxiety and depression are associated with pathological personality traits. The hypotheses were that individuals with more pathological personality characteristics would also present more symptoms of anxiety and depression; and that people with more symptoms of depression or more symptoms of anxiety have specific personality profiles. The sample consisted of 106 participants, older than 18 years (M=24.3, SD=5.71), of both genders (65 women; 61.3%). For evaluation, we used the Dimensional Clinical Personality Inventory (IDCP), which assesses pathological characteristics of personality in 12 dimensions, and the Brazilian versions of the Beck Depression Inventory and the Beck Anxiety Inventory. These data corroborate the hypotheses and help in understanding the personality profile of people from the general population who have more symptoms of anxiety and depression.
