EMPATHY, RESILIENCE, AND PERSONALITY TRAITS: A TRIAD IN THE SERVICE OF MENTAL HEALTH

Abstract

Introduction: The topic of this research focuses on the key components of mental health by analyzing three interrelated characteristics: empathy, resilience, and personality traits. Each of these traits plays a significant role in shaping mental health and the overall psychological well-being of an individual. The aim of the research is to demonstrate how these three characteristics interact and contribute to the preservation and improvement of mental health.
Methods: The research was conducted through an analysis of existing literature and a review of studies on the topics of empathy, resilience, and personality traits. The literature review includes studies that explore the connection between empathy and mental health, resilience and its role in coping with stress and trauma, and personality traits that influence emotional stability and behavior. The research also includes a review of empirical studies that confirm the importance of each of these characteristics.
Results: It has been shown that empathy, resilience, and personality traits significantly contribute to mental health and emotional stability. Empathy improves social interactions, reduces stress, anxiety, and depression, and alleviates feelings of loneliness. Resilience helps in facing challenges and reduces the risk of mental disorders, while personality traits, including temperament and moral values, shape adaptation to stress and emotional stability. These traits are crucial for understanding and maintaining mental health.
Conclusion: Understanding and developing these traits can significantly contribute to preserving mental health and fostering positive social relationships. Future research should continue to explore the interconnections between these characteristics in order to develop more effective strategies for supporting individual mental health and well-being.
