Abstract

The aim of this study was to explore the influences of Big Five-Factor personality traits on happiness and to examine the mediating effect of resilience in this relationship. In this research extraversion, neuroticism, open-ness, conscientiousness and agreeableness were considered as precedents of happiness, and resilience was considered as mediator between Big Five Factor traits on happiness. The sample consisted of 300 college students in Shahid Chamran University of Ahwaz that selected via multistage random sampling. Data were collected by NEO-Five-Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI), Connor–Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) and Oxford Happiness Inventory (OHI). Structural equation model (SEM) through SPSS-21 and AMOS-21 were used for data analysis. Results suggested that model with some modification had good fit with the data. Results from path analyses revealed that resilience partially mediated the association between extraversion, neuroticism, open-ness and conscientiousness with happiness. One of indirect hypotheses of model (the agreeableness toward happiness by mediating resilience) was not confirmed.
