Objective:To explore the association between big five personality traits, emotional coping information acquisition ability, and depressive symptoms among Chinese adults, providing theoretical support for behavioral intervention strategies targeting individuals with different personality traits and depressive symptoms.Methods:Data were obtained from the Psychology and Behavior Investigation of Chinese Residents (PBICR), a cross-sectional survey conducted from July to September 2021 across 120 cities in China, with 9 966 adults involved. The big five inventory-10 (BFI-10) and patient health questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) were used to assess personality traits and depressive symptoms, respectively. Emotional coping information acquisition ability was evaluated using a four-point Likert scale. Multivariable binary Logistic regression analysis was performed using R 4.3.1 software to examine associations among big five personality, emotion-coping information acquisition ability, and depressive symptoms.Results:Among the 9 966 surveyed adults, 1 213 individuals(12.2%) who met the PHQ-9 criteria were assessed to have positive depressive symptoms. Difficulties in acquiring emotional coping information were reported by 1 934 individuals(19.4%). The scores of extraversion, agreeableness, neuroticism, openness and conscientiousness in big five personality traits were 6.26±1.58, 7.00±1.49, 6.26±1.49, 6.41±1.52 and 6.91±1.60, respectively. Inter-group comparisons reported statistically significant differences in the five major personality traits between the negative and positive group of depressive symptoms ( χ2=215.39, P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that poor emotional coping information acquisition ability ( B=0.304, OR(95% CI)=1.36(1.15-1.59)) and dominant traits of extraversion ( B=0.597, OR(95% CI)=1.82(1.55-2.13)) or openness ( B=0.321, OR(95% CI)=1.38(1.10-1.72)) were significant risk factors for depression. Conclusions:Chinese adults with big five personality mainly presented as extroversion and openness traits, and with poor emotional coping and information acquisition abilities might be associated with depressive symptoms.
