Investigating the relationship between personality, personality message (Big Five personality factors including: psychopathy, extraversion, openness, cognitive function) and psychological distress in psychology students at Noor University, Kalat Branch

This study investigates the relationship between personality dimensions (the Big Five traits: neuroticism, psychoticism, extraversion, openness, agreeableness, and conscientiousness) and psychological distress among psychology students at Payame Noor University, Kalat branch. The primary aim of this research is to determine how different personality traits influence the level of psychological distress in students. The study employs a descriptive-correlational method and utilizes standardized psychometric instruments. The sample consists of 200 psychology students selected through random sampling. Data were collected using validated questionnaires, including the NEO Five-Factor Inventory and the Psychological Distress Scale. Statistical analyses such as Pearson correlation and regression analysis were conducted to examine the data. The findings indicate a significant relationship between personality traits and psychological distress. Specifically, neuroticism and psychoticism are strongly associated with higher levels of distress, while extraversion and conscientiousness show an inverse relationship with psychological distress. These results highlight the importance of understanding personality dimensions and their impact on students’ mental health. The outcomes of this research can assist counselors and faculty members in designing intervention and support programs tailored to students’ psychological needs, contributing to a more supportive academic environment. Furthermore, this study serves as a credible resource for future research on .personality and mental health among university students.
