Anxiety, HRQoL, 5 Personality Factors
Linear Regression showed that 30 % (R 2=0.30) of the variance in the Anxiety data could be explained by the levels of the overall HRQoL. The results showed that the model is a statistically significant predictor of Anxiety, , F(1,45)=19.51, p =0.00. This means that as the HRQoL increased, Anxiety increased by 0.18 points (β = 0.183). Multiple Regression showed that the subscales of HRQoL, Emotional Wellbeing (β = 0.29, p =0.00) and Self- Image (β = -0.90, p =0.03) were statistically significant predictors of Anxiety symptoms, F( 6,40)=7.98, p =0.00. This means, as Emotional Well-Being increased by one unit, Anxiety increased by 0.29 units. As Self-Esteem increased by one unit, Anxiety decreased by 0.09 units. Multiple Regression showed that 42% (R 2=0.42) of the variance in the Stress data could be explained by the 5 Personality Factors. The results showed that Neuroticism (β = - 65, p =0.00) was a statistically significant predictor of Anxiety symptoms, F(5,41)=5.88, p =0.00. This means, as Neuroticism increased by one unit, Anxiety decreased by 0.65 units.
