The COVID-19 pandemic has led to changes in people’s private and public lives that are unprecedented in modern history. However, little is known about the differential psychological consequences of restrictions that have been imposed to fight the pandemic. In a large and diverse German sample (N = 1,320), we examined how individual differences in psychological consequences of the pandemic (perceived restrictiveness of government-supported measures, global pandemic-related appraisals, subjective well-being) were associated with a broad set of faceted personality traits (Big Five, Honesty-Humility, Dark Triad). Facets of Extraversion, Neuroticism, and Openness were among the strongest and most important predictors of psychological outcomes, even after controlling for basic sociodemographic variables (gender, age). These findings suggest that psychological consequences of the pandemic depend on personality and thus add to the growing literature on the importance of considering individual differences in crisis situations.

COVID-19大流行导致人们私人和公共生活的变化，这是现代历史上前所未有的。然而，人们对为对抗大流行而实施的限制所带来的不同心理后果知之甚少。在大量的德国样本中（N= 1,320），我们研究了大流行的心理后果的个人差异（感知到的政府支持措施的局限性，全球大流行相关的评估，主观幸福感）如何与广泛的多方面人格特质（大五人，诚实）相关联-谦卑，黑暗三合会）。即使在控制了基本的社会人口统计学变量（性别，年龄）之后，外向性，神经质和开放性等方面也是心理结果的最强也是最重要的预测指标。这些发现表明，大流行的心理后果取决于人格，因此增加了关于在危机情况下考虑个体差异的重要性的文献。
