The research team analyzed that, among other things, extroversion is associated with a greater inclination towards reluctance to socially isolate, which many of us noticed during the pandemic. During stay-at-home guidelines, most of us know people who meet that description and who insisted, despite the scenario, on opting for face-to-face activities, despite the guidelines.
Other research found that single extroverts had a negative view of the social constraints necessary to contain the spread of COVID-19. Thus, it was possible to infer that, considering that extroversion is linked to sociability, these people had more difficulty maintaining social distancing even when they were willing to follow other recommendations, such as washing their hands hands.
In terms of other personality traits uncovered by the research, it was found that conscientiousness seemed to encourage adherence to social restrictions and safety rules, but was also associated with less prosocial activities such as storage.
Another point addressed in the survey is that sharing values was crucial in fighting the pandemic, helping other people who were experiencing difficulties. The research team explains that people who place a high value on responsibility and safety are more likely to follow behavioral guidelines established during the pandemic and that shared values can foster a sense of community that can lead to collaborative efforts to slow the spread of spread of infection.
