dc.description.abstractThe present study investigated the relationships between personality types, perceived stress, and mental well-being in young anime consumers. Correlational research design was used. It was hypothesised that i) there is likely to be a significant relationship between personality types, perceived stress and mental well-being in anime consumers, ii) personality types and perceived stress will predict mental well-being and, iii) Gender differences will exists in personality types, perceived stress and mental-wellbeing of young anime consumers. A sample of 189 participants aged 18 to 25 years (M = 21.10, SD = 2.716) was recruited online from anime-related communities such as WhatsApp Groups, channels, discords online community and Facebook. The Big Five Inventory (Goldberg, 1981), Perceived Stress Scale (Cohen et al., 1983), and Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well being Scale (Tennant et al., 2007) were used to assess personality types, perceived stress, and mental well-being, respectively. Pearson correlation analyses showed that personality types like extraversion, openness, and agreeableness have a positive relationship with mental well-being, while neuroticism have a negative relationship with it. Whereas, perceived stress showed a negative relationship with mental well-being. Multiple hierarchical regression analysis revealed that neuroticism and perceived stress were significant negative predictors of mental well-being, whereas openness and agreeableness were positive predictors. These findings highlight the role of personality types and perceived stress in shaping mental well-being among anime consumers. The study provides insights to media psychology by exploring how media consumption, particularly anime can potentially help with positive mental health outcomes.
