Individuals and institutions around the world have been affected by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Herein, we investigate the role of basic (Big Five and HEXACO) and specific (Dark Factor of Personality, Narcissistic Rivalry, and Narcissistic Admiration) personality traits for 17 criteria related to COVID-19, grouped into (i) personal perceptions in terms of risks and worries about the disease, (ii) behavioral adjustments in terms of following health recommendations and hoarding, and (iii) societal evaluations in terms of the appropriateness of different measures and feelings of social cohesion. (Internal) Meta-analytic results across five samples from two countries (overall N = 19,718) show—next to gender and age effects—the importance of several traits, including Emotionality/Neuroticism for personal perceptions and anti- or prosocial traits for behavior in line with health recommendations. The investigation highlights the importance of individual differences in uncertain and changing situations in general and during the COVID-19 pandemic in particular.

世界各地的个人和机构都受到2019年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）的影响。在这里，我们调查了与COVID-19相关的17个标准的基本（大五人和HEXACO）和特定（性格的黑暗因素，自恋的竞争和自恋的钦佩）的角色，这些特征按以下方式分为（i）个人看法：疾病的风险和忧虑；（ii）在遵循健康建议和ho积方面进行行为调整，以及（iii）在不同措施的适当性和社会凝聚力方面进行社会评估。（内部）来自两个国家的五个样本的Meta分析结果（总N= 19,718）显示了除性别和年龄影响之外的其他几个特征的重要性，包括情绪/神经质对于个人感知的认知以及反社会或亲社会的行为与健康建议相一致的特征。该调查强调了在不确定的和不断变化的情况下，尤其是在COVID-19大流行期间，个体差异的重要性。
