title: [Personality and occupation stress of workers in processing line in Guangzhou].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study relationships between personality and occupational stress of workers in processing line in Guangzhou.
  
  
  METHODS
  452 workers in processing line in Guangzhou were investigated by the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ) and Occupational Stress Indicator (OSI).
  
  
  RESULTS
  N scores and P scores of EPQ were positively correlated with the occupational stress and the poor physical fitness status (r value was 0.196, 0.128, 0.202, 0.218, respectively) (P < 0.01). N scores of EPQ were positively correlated with the type A behavior (r = 0.164) and negatively correlated with the mental well-being level (r = -0.196, P < 0.01). P scores of EPQ were negative correlated with the sense of job satisfaction and the stress coping ability(r value was -0.146, -0.140, respectively) (P < 0.01). E scores and L scores of EPQ were negatively correlated with the type A behavior (r value was -0.159, -0.138, respectively) (P < 0.01). E scores of EPQ were positively correlated with the stress coping ability (r = 0.176, P < 0.01). L scores of EPQ were negatively correlated with the occupational stress, the poor physical fitness status and the explanation to vicinity event (r value was -0.139, -0.140, -0.111, respectively) (P < 0.01, P < 0.05).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The personality of neuroticism, psychoticism and introversion may be related to the occupational stress, the sense of job satisfaction and unhealthy mental reaction.
