| Abstract | Introduction and goal: Whilst considering attending university as a potentially stressful situation, and in order to highlight predictors of stress in students, our goal is to assess the link between perceived stress and personality traits in this population. Methodology: We used, via online questionnaires, the perceived stress scale (PSS 10) and the French Big Five Inventory (BFI-Fr). The population consists of French university students (n = 483, Average age = 20.23, σ = 1.99). Results: The results show that 86.3% of students from the sample suffer from anxiety and 79.3% display depressive symptoms according to the PSS-10 scale. The regression model (R2 = 0.48, p < 0.000) shows that conscientiousness (β = -0.2; p = 0.0000) negatively predicts perceived stress, whereas extraversion (β = 0.07; p = 0.03) and neuroticism (β = 0.66; p = 0.0000) predict it positively. Conclusion: The fact that neuroticism and extraversion predict a high level of perceived stress, whereas consciousness predicts a low level of perceived stress in students allows us to consider using this data for preventative and educational approaches to counter stress in this population. |
