THE MEDIATING ROLE OF PERSONALITY TRAITS IN THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PARENTAL EMOTIONAL ACCESSIBILITY AND PSYCHOLOGICAL RESILIENCE

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this study is to investigate the mediating role of personality traits in the relationship between emotional availability perceived from parents and psychological resilience levels of adult individuals. In this context, the study analyzes the effect of how emotionally available and supportive individuals perceive their parents on their ability to exhibit resilience and adaptability in the face of life's challenging circumstances. The research aims to make a unique contribution to literature by addressing the developmental foundations of psychological resilience in the context of parental emotional availability and testing the mediating mechanism of personality traits in this relationship. The sample of the study consists of 400 adult individuals aged between 18–60 years. The data collection process involved the Demographic Information Form, the Big Five Personality Inventory, the Parental Emotional Availability Scale, and the Adult Psychological Resilience Scale. The obtained data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics 27 and the PROCESS Macro extension. The demographic characteristics of the participants were calculated using descriptive statistics. The results of the analysis showed that parental emotional availability positively and significantly predicted adult psychological resilience. Additionally, mediation analyses revealed that the relationship was indirectly explained through the personality traits of Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Openness to Experience, and Agreeableness. In contrast, the Neuroticism dimension did not play a significant mediating role in this relationship. These findings indicate that the effect of parental emotional availability on psychological resilience occurs both directly and indirectly through certain personality traits.
