Investigating the Predictive Role of Temperament and Character Strengths in Students' Resilience

Purpose: The aim of the present study was to examine the predictive role of temperament and character strengths on resilience among students of the Islamic Azad University, Kermanshah Branch. Methods and Materials: This study was correlational in nature and employed a descriptive-analytical method. The statistical population included all students enrolled during the ۲۰۱۶–۲۰۱۷ academic year, from which ۱۲۹ individuals were selected using a cluster random sampling method. The research instruments consisted of the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) and Cloninger's Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI). Data analysis was conducted using Pearson correlation and regression analysis via SPSS version ۱۹. Findings: The results of the Pearson correlation test showed a significant and positive relationship between the components of temperament and character and resilience (R = ۰.۵۲, p < ۰.۰۱). Moreover, regression analysis indicated that character components accounted for ۲۳% and temperament components for ۱۳% of the variance in resilience. Conclusion: The findings suggest that personality—particularly the character dimension—plays a significant role in enhancing resilience levels.
