Assessment of the Impact of Personality Characteristic on Emotion Resilience

ABSTRACT

This study assesses emotional resilience (ER) among people residing in the eastern region of India based on six demographic factors age, gender, education, marital status, working hours and financial status. MATERIAL/METHODS: Researchers conducted a survey through questionnaire among people aged 25 and 75 (mean age =50, mathrm{N}=508) from 1 September 2021 to 20 October 2021 after two COVID-19 outbreaks and analysed the data using the chi-square test, Cronbach alpha, multiple regression (MR) and logistic regression (LR). RESULTS: Results of present research show that ER negatively correlates with age (coeff. =14.315, mathrm{p}=5.298mathrm{E}-11) and positively with financial status (mathrm{t}=8.924, mathrm{p}=1.876mathrm{E}-09). The three personality characteristics impacting ER most were 1. I am playful. I find humour in rough situations and can laugh at myself. 2. I am curious. I ask questions. I want to know how things work. I like to try new ways of doing things. 3. I learn valuable lessons from my experiences and the experiences of others. CONCLUSION: Of six demographic variables, only two (age and financial status) correlated with ER. © 2022 IEEE.
