THE ROLE OF PERSONALITY TRAITS IN DEVELOPING RESILIENCE
THE ROLE OF PERSONALITY TRAITS IN DEVELOPING RESILIENCE

Summary/Abstract: The research aimed at obtaining information about the impact personality traits have on one person’s resilience. Instruments: We used three tests, namely: 1) The Holmes-Rahe Stress Scale – for determining the adverse events lived by the respondent; 2) The Wellbeing Scale – for determining the wellbeing perceived by the respondent; 3) The 5-Neo-PI-RInventory – for evaluating the personality traits of the respondents. The results obtained upon having the questionnaires filled in were evaluated using SPSS. Results: The research aimed at verifying some hypothesis which were built starting from the personality traits within the 5-Neo-Pi-R questionnaire: neuroticism, conscientiousness, openness, agreeableness, extraversion, allowing to draw a conclusion for obtaining an answer to the question: which personality traits are specific to resilient persons? The answer to this question can be used both for improving the results obtained in psychotherapy, and also in developing new studies on resilience, so that knowing it might be used at a larger scale, increasing as much as possible the efficiency of the psychotherapy process.
