Title: To investigate the association between the big five personality trait of a human.
Abstract
The entire report assist to determine the association between the variables in which 143
people selected in order to present their views pertaining to chosen topic. Among all, majority of
them are female that reflected the exact relationship between variable. With the help of
regression analysis, it has been identified that there is a positive relationship between the total
mean and esteem and extraversion and this in turn help to reflect that alternative hypothesis is
accepted over other. Also, it can be stated that there is a moderate association between the
variables and this in turn shows that when self-esteem of an individual changes, there is a direct
impact identified over extraversion and resilience. Thus, it can be stated that these all are related
to mental health of people and if the personality of an individual is not so strong then it cause a
direct impact over the mental and the factor as well.
Introduction
In the real time, psychology researchers, care about looking at factors that might predict
variability in mental health outcomes because most of the people experience a poor mental
health, and study on such factors assist to understand how the problem can be resolved in order
to generate a better outcome and create a better outcome. For the present study, big five
personality trait questions will be asked that derive a better outcome and views of the selected
respondents that helps to understand the relationship between the variables and improve the
results as well. In psychology, there are different factors that affect the mental health which
includes self-esteem, confidence, consciousness and well-being, or narcissism and resilience
(Janssen and et.al., 2018) Therefore, it can be stated that computing variable within an individual
assist to determine the worse psychological state so that proper action can be taken. The aim of
the report is to determine the how the factors affect the mental health of individual by
considering different aspects. With the help of primary research, scholar is also able to collect
the information from the selected respondents and then try to accomplish the aim as well.
Buselli and et.al., (2020) also stated that there is a strong relationship between particular
personality traits with a mental health outcome because if the individual is experiencing any
mental health problems then the chances of high neuroticism associated with the depression and

anxiety . On the other side, a higher extraversion is also linked with less risk of mental health
problem. This in turn shows that from the five personality trait, each of them are linked with
each other in order to reflect how it affect the mental outcome in negative manner. Reardon and
et.al., (2019) critically argued that adverse life events are also strongly associated with future
mental health problems for participants that reflect neurotic personalities. Hence, it reflected that
the set personality are somehow related with each other and that cause a direct impact over the
mental health of person.
For the present study, two hypothesis will be formulated that assist to determine about the
exact results such that:
Hypothesis 1:
Null hypothesis: There is no significant difference between the mean value of self-esteem and
extraversion, resilience
Alternative hypothesis: There is a significant difference between the mean value of self-esteem
and extraversion, resilience
Hypothesis 2:
H0: There is no association between self-esteem, extraversion and resilience.
H1: There is an association between self-esteem, extraversion and resilience.
Methods
Design: The chosen research design for the present is exploratory in which researcher is
determined ideas and insights that helps to gain a deep understanding pertaining to a situation
(Dannels, 2018). Through this methodology, scholar also generate a hypothesis in order to
determine the results and associated within a variable so that effective outcome can be generated
effectively. Further, the exploratory research design also assists to create a better outcome so that
the relationship between the traits can be identified easily that assist to derive best results
effectively.
Participants: In the present research, 143 participants has been selected randomly
without considering their ethnicity that helps to derive better outcome. In accordance with the
