summarize this abstract for this article in 5 really simple highschooler form

"The aim of this representative study in the Hungarian population was to analyse the association between work-related factors and self-reported mental and physical health after controlling for negative affect and hostility as personality traits. Methods: The effects of job related factors on Beck Depression Score, WHO well-being score and self-rated health (SRH) were analysed in a representative sample of 3153 male and 2710 female economically active Hungarians. Results: In both genders negative affect was the most important correlate of depression, well-being and SRH, whereas hostility was closely associated only with depression. Job insecurity, low control and low social support at work, weekend work hours, job-related life events and dissatisfaction with work and with boss were independent mental health risk factors, but there were important gender differences. Job related factors seem to be equally important predictors of mental health as social support from family. Conclusion: The results of this large national representative study indicate that independent of negative affect and hostility, a cluster of stressful work-related psychosocial conditions accounts for a substantial part of variation in self-reported mental and physical health of the economically active population in Hungary."

1. This was a big study of Hungarian workers (about 3,153 men and 2,710 women).
2. Researchers checked depression, overall well-being, and how people rated their own health.
3. People’s usual negative feelings were the strongest link to worse scores; anger/hostility was mostly tied to depression.
4. Work problems that made health worse included job insecurity, little control, low support from coworkers, working weekends, bad job-related events, and being unhappy with the job or boss. Men and women showed some different patterns.
5. Even after accounting for personality, stressful work conditions explained a large part of differences in workers’ mental and physical health and were about as important as family support.
