This study investigated the relationships between active, problem-focused, and maladaptive coping with stress during the Coronavirus outbreak, the Big Five personality traits, and social support among Israeli-Palestinian college students (n = 625). Emotion-focused coping negatively correlated with social support, openness, extraversion, conscientiousness, and agreeableness, while it positively correlated with neuroticism. On the other hand, problem-focused coping was found to positively correlate with social support, openness, extraversion, conscientiousness, and agreeableness, but negatively correlate with neuroticism. Thus, positive social support may increase one’s ability to cope actively, adaptively, and efficiently. In addition, Israeli-Palestinian college students high in openness, extraversion, agreeableness, and conscientiousness tend to use active problem-focused coping while those high in neuroticism tend to use maladaptive emotion-focused coping.

本研究调查了以色列-巴勒斯坦大学生在冠状病毒爆发期间积极、以问题为中心和适应不良应对压力、大五人格特质和社会支持之间的关系（n = 625)。以情绪为中心的应对与社会支持、开放性、外向性、责任心和随和性呈负相关，而与神经质呈正相关。另一方面，以问题为中心的应对与社会支持、开放性、外向性、责任心和随和性呈正相关，但与神经质呈负相关。因此，积极的社会支持可以提高一个人积极、适应和有效应对的能力。此外，开放性、外向性、随和性和尽责性高的以色列-巴勒斯坦大学生倾向于使用积极的以问题为中心的应对方式，而那些神经质高的人则倾向于使用不适应的以情绪为中心的应对方式。
