This research demonstrates strong relationships between resilience and personality traits, particularly in reducing Neuroticism and increasing Conscientiousness and Extraversion. The identification of an 85% PR6 resilience threshold offers a tangible target for resilience training programs. Rossouw, J.G., (2024)

2024 PR6 RESEARCH
KEY TAKEAWAYS
This study investigates the relationship between resilience, measured by the Predictive 6 Factor Resilience Model (PR6), and the Big
Five personality traits, assessed using the IPIP-NEO-120. The research involved 2,044 participants and found significant correlations
between resilience and personality traits, particularly Neuroticism, Conscientiousness, and Extraversion. The study identifies a critical
PR6 resilience threshold of 85%, beyond which individuals experience marked improvements in personality traits and mental health
protection. These findings suggest that resilience training could be an effective approach for personality development and mental
health prevention, especially in high-stress environments.
