The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between extroversion and neuroticism traits along with gender and how it influences resilience among young adults. Data was collected from a sample of 150 participants, where there were 75 males and 75 females within the age group of 18-26. For this purpose, the NEO Five factor inventory(NEO-FFI) and the abbreviated version of the Nicholson McBride Resilience Questionnaire were administered.The results indicates that there is a mild to moderate positive correlation between extroversion and resilience (correlation coefficient = 0.39, p-value = 0.00) and also between gender and resilience (correlation coefficient = 0.25, p = 0.00), while there is a mild negative correlation between neuroticism and resilience (correlation coefficient=-0.33,p-value=0.00). Multiple linear regression highlights a statistically significant relationship between extroversion and resilience (B = 0.035, p = 0.00), a significant negative relationship between neuroticism and resilience (B = -0.22, p = 0.006), and a significant difference in resilience scores between genders,which can be calculated as resilience = 35.982 + 0.357 (Extraversion) − 0.228 (Neuroticism) + 2.282 (Gender), where males showed higher gender in relation to female participants.
