Relationship Between the Level of Perceived Stress and Personality Traits on Housewives

Abstract

The present study investigated the relationship between personality traits and perceived stress among housewives. The findings revealed no connection between housewives’ extraversion/‌introversion qualities and perceived stress levels. However, among housewives, there was a substantial correlation between the degree of perceived stress and the qualities of neuroticism and emotional stability. This implies that housewives are more likely to feel more stress when they are more neurotic and less emotionally stable. The results of this study indicate that personality characteristics may have a big impact on how stressed out housewives are. More neurotic and less emotionally stable housewives are more likely to feel more stress than average. The ability to recognise one’s own personality strengths and weaknesses in regard to stress is crucial information for housewives. Housewives who are conscious of their personality features can take action to better manage their stress.
