Abstract

This work integrates personality theory with the Social Identity Approach to Health (SIAH), examining the interplay between personality, local community group identification, perceived support, and wellbeing. Three studies investigated: (i) latent personality profiles based on the Five Factor Model (N = 49,692); (ii) the relationships between local community identification, perceived support, and wellbeing across personality profiles (N = 1,254); (iii) whether perceived support moderates the indirect effect of salient personal vs. local community group identities on wellbeing through support (N = 167). Study 1 identified two profiles, respectively high vs. low ego-resilient. Study 2 found no moderation but positive associations among local community identification, support, and wellbeing. Study 3 found no moderated mediation, though the high ego-resilient reported greater perceived support when personal vs. local community group identity was salient. These findings advance theoretical integration and inform community based intervention by addressing the role of personality in the SIAH.
