A critical individual-level solution involves increasing self-awareness and greater understanding in terms of one’s personality traits, especially in terms of how one reacts to stressful circumstances. Some personality traits, such as moderately strong extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, hardiness/resilience, and generalized self-efficacy are associated with reduced stress reaction. Individuals with those personality dimensions are dispositionally able to handle stressful situations better than others. Their personality buffers the stress reaction. By the same token, individuals with some forms of “Type A” personality, or who are strong in neuroticism, for example, are more likely to show strong reactions to stressful situations. It is helpful for individuals to identify their personality factors, especially the strong ones, to understand their capacities to endure stress without experiencing burnout. It is also important for them to identify personality traits that might predispose them to experiencing a strong stress reaction and to identify what are called “work-around” strategies to help buffer them from the deleterious, undoing effects of stress.
