El proposito de este estudio fue examinar el papel predictivo de las caracteristicas de personalidad sobre las estrategias de afrontamiento. Participaron de manera intencional y voluntaria 595 estudiantes de 13 a 18 anos (Medad=15.8; DE=1.38) de secundaria y bachillerato publico de zonas marginadas del oriente de la Ciudad de Mexico: 286 hombres (47.5%) y 309 mujeres (52.5%). Se realizo un estudio transversal, ex post facto, de tipo correlacional. Se aplico el MMPI-A, el Cuestionario de Afrontamiento para Adolescentes (CA-A) y una ficha sociodemografica. Se realizaron analisis descriptivos de las variables sociodemograficas, de las caracteristicas de personalidad y de las estrategias de afrontamiento. Se llevaron a cabo analisis de correlacion y multivariados, para determinar el grado de asociacion entre las variables y el valor predictivo de las caracteristicas de personalidad sobre las estrategias de afrontamiento. Los resultados muestran que las caracteristicas de personalidad no solo se relacionan con las estrategias de afrontamiento, sino que caracteristicas como ansiedad, depresion, enojo, conducta antisocial, enajenacion, tendencia al alcoholismo, inmadurez y consumo de substancias influyen en el uso de estrategias de afrontamiento disfuncionales, como rumiacion, evitacion, respuestas fisiologicas y conducta autolesiva; mientras que menor inmadurez, capacidad de contencion o represion predicen estrategias funcionales como la solucion de problemas. Se discuten los resultados por sus implicaciones para el diseno de programas de prevencion y promocion de salud mental en contextos marginales.  Abstract The purpose of this study was to examine the predictive role of personality traits on coping strategies. Participants were 595 adolescent students, 286 boys (47.5%) and 309 girls (52.5%), aged 13 to 18 years (Mage=15.8 SD=1.3) attending public and private schools, from marginal high-risk metropolitan areas from Mexico City. A cross-sectional, ex post facto, correlational design was used. The MMPI-A, the Adolescent Coping Questionnaire (ACQ), and a socio-demographic form, were applied. Correlational and multivariate analyses were carried out to determine the degree of association among the variables and the predictive power of personality characteristics on coping strategies. Results show that most personality characteristics are not only related to coping strategies, but that traits such as anxiety, depression, anger, antisocial behavior, alienation, substance abuse proneness and immaturity, influence the use of dysfunctional coping strategies such as rumination, avoidance, physiological responses and self-injurious behavior; while less immaturity, containment or social-control capability predict functional strategies and problem solving. These results suggest that personality dimensions play an important role in the use of coping strategies during adolescence and are discussed in terms of the implications for the design of mental health prevention and promotion programs in marginal settings. Key words: adolescence, personality, coping, students.
