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)
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.
