To fill this gap and to clarify the directionality between them, we conducted a longitudinal study.METHODSWe measured DT traits and psychopathological symptoms in a large sample of university students (NT1 = 1815) annually for 3 years.

We discuss these findings and suggest there may be more complex interactions between personality and solitude than previously recognized. We highlight the importance of conceptual and methodological clarity in studying both personality and solitude. Studies also show that the benefits of solitude for well-being depend on contextual factors including the function and purpose of solitude, and activities undertaken (or not) when alone. Preferences for, and enjoyment of, solitude are influenced by more than just personality traits; they are shaped by how personality interacts with specific situations and contexts.
