: The objective of this study was to analyze the moderator role of coping strategies in the association between personality and schematic investment in appearance. The sample consisted of 948 young adults aged between 18 and 30 years (M = 21.76, DP = 3.31) of both genders, having been used self-report instruments, namely: the NEO-FFI-20 Personality Inventory; COPE-Inventory; and the Appearance Schemas Inventory – Revised (ASI-R). The results show that an emotionally adjusted personality and adaptive coping strategies have a positive predictive role in the adjusted schematic investment in appearance in young people (minor self-evaluative salience). The results showed also that a moderating effect of adaptive and nonadaptive coping strategies in the association between personality and schematic investment in appearance, revealing that despite the emotionally adjusted personality, in the presence of low adaptive coping strategies, the self-evaluative salience increases.
