Abstract

This cross-sectional study investigated the relationships between the big five personality traits-(conscientiousness, agreeableness, neuroticism, openness to experience, extraversion) and psychologicalresilience among 397 Caribbean secondary school adolescents. Pearson Product Moment Correlation andStepwise Multiple Regressions were conducted to analyse the data. Results revealed statistically significantpositive relationships between the personality traits (conscientiousness, agreeableness, openness to experience,extraversion) and psychological resilience, while neuroticism was negatively correlated with psychologicalresilience. The personality traits also jointly contributed 32% (R square = 0.324) of the variance being accountedfor in psychological resilience and this was found to be statistically significant with conscientiousness being thebest predictor while agreeableness, neuroticism and openness to experience were other significant predictors,however, extraversion did not contribute significantly. These results are discussed in the light of healthypersonality beefing up and promoting adolescents’ psychological resilience.
