RESEARCH ON VULNERABILITY TO STRESS IN THE FIELD OF INTERVENTION AND RESCUE IN TOXIC/ FLAMABLE/ EXPLOSIVE ENVIRONMENTS
Abstract
Vulnerability to stress occurs during the person's biography, depending on psycho-emotional trauma, experiences of severe psychological stressful situations, including how the individual succeeded in managing them. Some people have a constitutional or psychological vulnerability to the action of traditional stressors, being more prone to psychic stress. The multifactorial complex of non-specific factors that modulate the individual response necessarily includes personality traits, acquired during the individual's experience and manifested in the context of its interactions with the social network, as well as in actual situations (stressful events). An important aspect of psychological assessment is the identification of risk and protection factors associated with the development and maintenance of emotional and behavioural problems. In this respect, within psychological examination, a particular role is played by the evaluation of personality, both in terms of main personality traits that influence many types of behaviours as well as particular aspects, such as cognitive and behavioural coping with potentially stressful situations. This paper presents the results of a series of psychological personality assessments of intervention and rescue personnel, in the context of analysing the relationship between the risk of occupational stress occurrence and personality traits.
