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.
