Coping and the relationship between personality and coping.

Explain coping and the relationship between personality and coping.
Personality can have a strong effect on the style and effectiveness of coping. A person who expresses negative affectivity, or neuroticism, is likely prone to poor coping skills and is at risk of various negative health factors. Negative affectivity is a negative mood often seen in individuals that are anxious, depressed and/or hostile (Taylor, 2017). Being prone to expressing negative affectivity is related to poor health habits, illusory physical symptoms, and poor treatment response (Taylor, 2017). On the contrary, having a positive outlook promotes better mental and physical health, lower levels of stress indicators, better immune response, and improves coping (Taylor, 2017).
