The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationships between the big five personality traits: (conscientiousness, agreeableness, neuroticism, openness to experience, extraversion) and psychological resilience among secondary school students in Egypt. The sample consisted of 200 male secondary school students. Aged ranged from 15-17 years (M=16.02, SD=5.12). It was found that significant positive associations existed between the psychological traits (conscientiousness, agreeableness, extraversion, openness to experience) and psychological resilience. Nevertheless, one personality trait; neuroticism, was found to be negatively associated with psychological resilience.Downloads
