There certain personality traits that serve to buffer individuals against stressors and?

Answer 1

The buffering hypothesis states that social support provided by other individuals cushions or protects an individual from the harm of potential stressors. The tendency to procrastinate, sense of humor, and hardiness are personality traits that also affect life event appraisal and stress. Sense of humor is the habitual inclination to smile, laugh, and be amused by various events. Humor is a feeling incompatible with distress, alters stressor appraisal, and draws people to us to provide social support when needed. Hardiness is a personality trait manifested by seeing life events as challenging, feeling in control of those events, and being committed to various activities.
