ABSTRACT

This study investigated the relationships between MBTI personality types, college life adaptation, and stress coping strategies among nursing students. The subjects were 178 nursing students from a university in U City, who agreed to participate in the study. Data were collected from October 14 to October 31, 2022, and analyzed using SPSS 18.0, employing t-tests, ANOVA, and Pearson’s correlation coefficients. The results showed significant positive correlations between MBTI personality types and overall college life adaptation (r = .175, p = .019), MBTI personality types and overall stress coping strategies (r = .230, p = .002), and between overall college life adaptation and overall stress coping strategies (r = .485, p = .000).

Keywords: MBTI personality types, college life adaptation, stress coping.
