The relationship between physical, cognitive, behavioral anxiety and personality traits with social adjustment in the staff of Pastor Qazvin Hospital

The present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the relationship between physical, cognitive, behavioral anxiety and personality traits with social adjustment in the employees of Pastor Qazvin Hospital in 2017. The research method was applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-correlation in terms of data collection. The statistical population included all the employees of Pasteur Hospital in Qazvin city, of which 170 people were considered as the sample size using Morgan's table and simple random sampling method. Data collection was done based on three standard physical, cognitive and behavioral anxiety questionnaires by Lehrer and Wolflek (1982), California Individual-Social Adaptation by Shoushtari (2016) and Hexaco Personality Questionnaire by Lee and Ashton (2004). The analysis of the information obtained from the implementation of the questionnaires was carried out through SPSS22 software in two descriptive and inferential sections (Pearson's correlation coefficient, and step-by-step regression). The results showed that there is a negative and significant relationship between types of physical, behavioral and cognitive anxiety with social adjustment, that is, the more physical, behavioral or cognitive anxiety a person has, the lower the level of social adjustment. There is a significant and negative relationship between social adjustment and excitability, and a positive and significant relationship between social adjustment and extraversion, adaptability, conscientiousness, and openness. Also, the results showed that physical, cognitive and behavioral anxiety and personality traits predict the social adjustment of the people under investigation.
