ABSTRACT

This research paper explores the complex relationship between personality traits and resilience among working women in Bangalore, India. This study explores how cultural values and gender norms shape personality traits associated with resilience in India, a country with a mix of tradition and modernity. In a quantitative approach using the Big Five Personality Inventory (BFI) and the 14-item Resilience Scale (RS-14) in 200 women aged 21 to 50, correlations show moderate positive relationships between extraversion, conscientiousness, agreeableness and openness with resilience. Conversely, Neuroticism showed a slightly negative correlation with resilience, highlighting the complexity of this relationship. The results highlight the need for tailored interventions to support women’s professional and personal lives.
