Direct and Indirect Relationships between Personality Types and Problem-Focused Coping Style in Adolescents: Mediation Role of Cognitive Flexibility
Öz
The first aim of this research is to examine the relationship between personality types,
problem-focused stress coping style, and cognitive flexibility in adolescents. The
second aim is to determine whether cognitive flexibility plays a mediating role in
relationship between personality types and problem-oriented coping styles. For this
purpose, data were collected from 465 adolescents (293 (63%) women and 172 (37%)
men). Five Factor Personality Scale, Coping Style Scale and Cognitive Flexibility Scale
were used as data collection tools. Correlation coefficient and path analysis were used
in the analysis of the data. According to the findings obtained from the research,
positive personality types such as extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness and
openness of the adolescents have significant positive relationships between problemfocused coping style and cognitive flexibility. On the other hand, there was a
significant negative correlation between neuroticism personality type and problemfocused coping style and cognitive flexibility. When the findings of mediation analysis
are examined, it has been found that cognitive flexibility has partially mediation role in
relationships between personality types and problem-focused coping style. In other
words, both direct relationships between personality types and problem-focused
coping are meaningful, as well as indirect implications through cognitive flexibility. The
findings were discussed and interpreted in light of the literature.
