Linking personality traits to psychological distress among early-career PhD faculty: a gender-based canonical analysis
Personality configurations are moderately associated with mental-health outcomes among early-career doctoral faculty, with stronger multivariate coupling in men. Findings highlight the need for gender-sensitive, person-environment-fit interventions-such as supportive mentoring, balanced workloads, and accessible counseling-to promote sustainable well-being in academic settings.
