He is also less prone to denial and despair.
Individuals autonomously seeking new solutions and believing they can
still make progress in the field of conflict management, individuals striving
to improve their manner of reacting are the ones likely to see a problem from
the positive and spiritual side, to plan solutions and live with them in a posi-
tive way; they are, however, also less likely to deny the problem and to despair.
Greater ability of autonomous judgement can be expected from persons
actively dealing with problems, having a positive approach to problem solv-
ing, planning, accepting facts and learning from situations. Such persons are
less likely to seek distraction elsewhere, to deny problems, despair and blame
themselves.
Research studies dealing with correlation between emotional compe-
tence and stress do not exist. In the research study (Vater in Schröder Abé 2015)
it has been ascertained that every factor of a personal characteristic is related to
at least one strategy of emotional regulation. Emotional regulation, however, is
the key factor in the development of emotional competence. According to the
research study (Leger et al. 2016) on correlation between personal characteris-
tics and stress differences between personal characteristics affect one’s estima-
tion of potential stressful situation. Interactional and transactional stress mod-
els guide much of this personality and stress-related research. These models
propose that personality is associated with stress in the following ways. First,
those with certain personality characteristics are more likely to expose them-
selves to more frequent and severe stressful experiences. Second, individual dif-
ferences in personality traits may influence appraisals of potentially stressful
circumstances. Last, personality is associated with the effectiveness of the cop-
ing responses whereby cognitive and behavioural efforts can prevent, manage,
or alleviate distress. Results of this study indicate that personality traits are dif-
ferentially associated with positive and negative stressor-related affect; neurot-
icism, conscientiousness and openness to experience uniquely contribute to the
degree of stressor-related negative affect, and stressor-related appraisals par-
tially account for this relationship. Only agreeableness relates to the degree
of stressor-related positive affect, but how people appraise their daily stressors
are unrelated to this association. These findings suggest that these differences
in stressor-related affect may serve as one potential mechanism through which
personality traits impact health and emphasize the need for future studies to
examine not just changes in negative, but also changes in positive affect in re-
sponse to stress.
Conclusions
People confront stressful situations in more or less functional ways. Accord-
ing to the present research project, emotional maturity and acquisition of emo-
tional competences throughout individual’s life affect the choice of his stress
