Abstract
Results
Linear regressions revealed that control and challenge significantly predicted least perceived stress. On the contrary, big
five factor of neuroticism predicted more perceived stress. Furthermore, control, commitment, and extraversion negatively
predicted depression levels, but neuroticism positively predicted depression levels. Additionally, more levels of the challenge
factor predicted fewer OLP scores while more levels of perceived stress predicted more OLP scores.

Conclusion
The components of control challenge and neuroticism factors had a significant role in predicting perceived stress. On the
other hand, the components of control and commitment and extraversion factors had a prominent role in predicting depression
in patients with OLP, so personality constructs may have an effective role in triggering experience of stress, depression,
and OLP itself. Additionally, interventions that enhance individual protective factors may be beneficial in reducing stress
and depression in some severe diseases.
