Resilience has a significant increase (direct) relationship with job satisfaction. Neuroticism has a significant decreasing (inverse) relationship with resilience, while extroversion-introversion and conscientiousness have a significant decreasing (direct) relationship with resilience.

Therefore, it can be concluded that resilience has a mediating role between some personality traits with teachers 'job satisfaction and decision makers in the field of education should pay attention to the role of this variable in teachers' job satisfaction.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationships between personality traits, family communication patterns and assertive behavior. To do this, on a sample of 223 students were chosen who completed the revised version of Personality Traits Scale (Eysenck, 1973), Family Communication Patterns Scale (Fitzpatrick & Ritchie, 1994) and Assertive Behavior’s Questionnaire (Herzberger et al, 1984). Cronbach’s alpha were used for investigating the reliability and validity of instruments. The findings showed that all instruments have sufficient reliability and validity. Analysis of data using multiple regression analysis (enter method) revealed that dimension of introversion-extraversion was a positive and significant predictor and neuroticism was a negative and significant predictor of assertive behavior. Conversation orientation was a positive and significant predictor for assertive behavior and the conformity orientation was a negative and significant predictor of assertive behavior. As a result, it can be said that having some personality characteristics and high conversation orientation in family can increase children's assertive behavior.

The method used in the study was descriptive-correlational survey. In this research, a total sample of 110 students was chosen by cluster sampling. The sampled students were asked to fill out the Personality Five-Factor Questionnaire along with the Approaches and Skills of Study Questionnaire, and their semester average was used as the criterion of academic achievement.The results of the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient showed that the relationship of neuroticism and surface approaches of studying with academic achievement was negative. The relationship between academic achievement and extroversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness and deep approaches of studying was positive. Academic achievement was not associated with openness to experience. Furthermore, the multivariate regression analysis indicated that deep and surface approaches of studying, neuroticism, conscientiousness and extroversion could predict the academic achievement. Students who are more extroverted, agreeable or conscientious and use deeper studying approaches experience more academic achievement.
