Fundamental dimensions of personality and emotional intelligence in people with psoriasis (comparative study)

Abstract

Research into the fundamental dimensions of personality and emotional intelligence in people with psoriasis is particularly current and important in conditions of high psychological morbidity among patients with skin diseases. The complexity of this topic lies in the large number of individual and contextual characteristics that influence the onset and progression of psoriasis. Emotional intelligence is a complex construct that takes center stage in the management of dermatology. Its role is particularly emphasized when we refer to the defense mechanisms of emotional conflict that can be activated through the perception, assimilation, understanding, and control of emotions.
