Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between extroversion and neuroticism traits along with gender and how it influences resilience among young adults. Data was collected from a sample of 150 participants, where there were 75 males and 75 females within the age group of 18-26. For this purpose, the NEO Five factor inventory(NEO-FFI) and the abbreviated version of the Nicholson McBride Resilience Questionnaire were administered.The results indicates that there is a mild to moderate positive correlation between extroversion and resilience (correlation coefficient = 0.39, p-value = 0.00) and also between gender and resilience (correlation coefficient = 0.25, p = 0.00), while there is a mild negative correlation between neuroticism and resilience (correlation coefficient=-0.33,p-value=0.00). Multiple linear regression highlights a statistically significant relationship between extroversion and resilience (B = 0.035, p = 0.00), a significant negative relationship between neuroticism and resilience (B = -0.22, p = 0.006), and a significant difference in resilience scores between genders,which can be calculated as resilience = 35.982 + 0.357 (Extraversion) − 0.228 (Neuroticism) + 2.282 (Gender), where males showed higher gender in relation to female participants.
