Method of research was correlation and the statistical society in cludedall people who lived in Mobarakeh- Esfahan (1390) in which 57 male and 48 female were selected using convenience sampling. Assessment tools consisted of Conner- Davidson Resilience scale (CD-RISC), (2003) and Neo-Five Factor inventory (NEO-FFI, Costa & McCrae, 1990). The data was analyzed using Pearson’s correlation coefficient and multiple regression analysis (enter method). The results showed that resilience was negatively associated with neuroticism (P < 0.01) and positively related to extraversion and conscientiousness (P < 0.01). There was not a significant relationship between the resilience and openness and agreeableness. Also analysis of regression revealed that only neuroticism could predict the resilience in this group (P < 0.001).
