Personality traits and adherence on COVID-19 preventive measures in a two-year follow-up study.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Preventive measures (PM) to avoid disease spread are essential, and personality traits might influence their adherence. To evaluate the impact of personality traits Psychoticism (P), Extraversion (E), and Neuroticism (N) on adherence to COVID-19 PM over time, the mediation of depressive, anxious symptoms and Lie subscale, the moderation of gender and the adjustment of age. A two-year prospective study with 619 participants. We used Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQR-A) for personality and some questions to assess the adherence to PM. We used Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with the Partial Least Squares (PLS). P had significant negative impact on adherence to all PM (β= - 0.153- (-0.125), CI95% - 0.234-0.043, p < 0.05), except Wearing masks and Working remotely. E had a minor positive impact on Desire to protect yourself and others (β = 0.095-0.144, CI95% - 0.027-0.167, p < 0.05). N had no effect on PM. Female gender showed a small moderation (β= - 0.157-(-0.095), CI95% - 0.258-0.001), p < 0.05). Lie subscale, depressive and anxious symptoms did not present a significant mediation. High P score had a negative impact on adherence to PM, especially in women. This emphasizes the need for personalized approaches in public health and clinical practice.
