Abstract
Se presenta una revisión sistemática sobre la relación entre la sintomatología del trastorno de estrés postraumático (TEPT) y las dimensiones básicas de la personalidad del modelo de los Cinco Grandes. Varias búsquedas en las bases de datos bibliográficas PsycINFO, MEDLINE, PILOTS y Psicodoc y la consulta de las revisiones más recientes y exhaustivas de la literatura científica permitieron localizar 15 estudios sobre la relación entre los Cinco Grandes y la sintomatología del TEPT. Los resultados conjuntos de estos estudios indican que: (1) existe una relación positiva y de tamaño medio entre el neuroticismo y la gravedad de los síntomas del TEPT (r media = .37); (2) existe una relación negativa y pequeña entre la gravedad de los síntomas del TEPT y la extraversión (r media = -.11), la amabilidad (r media = -.18) y la responsabilidad (r media = -.18), y (3) no existe ninguna relación entre la apertura y la gravedad de los síntomas del TEPT (r media = -.01). Los resultados sugieren que el neuroticismo podría ser un factor de riesgo importante para el TEPT, mientras la extraversión, la amabilidad y la responsabilidad podrían ser factores pequeños de protección para el TEPT. Estos hallazgos se discuten respecto a la capacidad de los Cinco Grandes para organizar y clarificar constructos psicológicos relacionados y a sus implicaciones en el ámbito clínico y forense.
This paper reports a systematic review on the relationship between posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms and the basic dimensions of personality of the Big Five model. Several searches of PsycINFO, MEDLINE, PILOTS, and Psicodoc bibliographic databases and consultation of the most recent and exhaustive literature reviews made it possible to find 15 studies on the relationship between the Big Five and the symptomatology of PTSD. The joint results of these studies suggest that: (1) there is a positive, medium-large sized relationship between neuroticism and PTSD symptom severity (mean r = .38); (2) PTSD symptom severity is slightly and negatively correlated with extraversion (mean r = -.11), agreeableness (mean r = -.18), and conscientiousness (mean r = - .18), and (3) there is no relationship between openness and PTSD symptom severity (mean r = -.01). These findings suggest that neuroticism could be an important risk factor for PTSD, while extraversion, agreeableness and conscientiousness could be small protective factors for PTSD. The findings are discussed regarding the capability of the Big Five to organize and clarify related psychological constructs, and their implications in the clinical and forensic fields.
