Psychological literature shows that certain personality types make a person more or less prone to experiencing frequent stress. Specific personality characteristics are believed to determine what will make individuals feel stressed. To test the correlation between personality type and stress, I conducted three interviews with people with different personality types. Through interviews with codependent, Type A, and resistant individuals; I have found that there is a correlation between personality, stressors, and coping techniques. The first respondent was classified as moderately codependent. A codependent person is prone to stress due to many traits and behaviors they possess. This personality is referred to as an "addictive personality", his "correcting" behaviors being aimed at acquiring self-validation, and the "high" being short-lived; forcing repeated periods of external validation. A person of this type is usually a well-liked perfectionist, extremely loyal, but who tends to manipulate others through acts of generosity. This behavior is their attempt to control others and their environment to compensate for their lack of self-control. They thrive on solving emergency situations and tend to put everyone else's needs before their own. Although they live for the crisis, they feel victimized by their lifestyle and insinuate that others do not give them the credit and gratitude they deserve for their sacrifices. Codependent people have a chronic sense of inadequacy despite being too good at the multiple tasks they take on and often look to others for approval. The most stress-prone characteristic of this personality type is an overreaction in many situations expressing worry and concern as love, even making a small... middle of paper ......tion as techniques of coping with everyday life to acquire a perspective on life. Therefore, personality can make a person stress-prone or stress-resistant. Personality plays a big role in how much stress a person experiences and what situations will make them stressed. Understanding how specific characteristics of each personality determine what types of situations will be perceived as stressful could aid in the effective use of tailored coping techniques. Through interviews conducted with three individuals who possess different personalities, I conclude that the psychological literature is correct in assuming that some personalities are more or less prone to stress. In all three cases, there were direct connections between what the literature characterized their personalities and what situations they perceived as stressful.
