Abstract
Abstract : Substantial associations between personality traits and coping style under stress were identified in recruits going through U.S. Navy basic training. The personality trait of conscientiousness was related to active problem solving efforts, while neuroticism was related to self-blame and wishful thinking. Unique coping styles could not be clearly identified for the personality dimensions of openness, agreeableness, and extraversion. The findings link stable psychological traits to situational coping reactions that may influence morale, performance, and health. These associations provide information that can be useful for models to explain how stable traits are translated into psychological processes that determine the effects of exposure to demanding situations. Keywords: Stress (Psychology), Naval personnel, Naval training.
