Abstract

Extraversion was proved to be one of the best predictor of life satisfaction. But this predictive effect could be affected by resilience. In order to examine the relation between the extraversion and life satisfaction, and test the mediate effect of resilience, we chose 110 undergraduate students from Hainan University to complete a battery of tests, including the Extraversion subscale of NEO-Five-Factor-Inventory, the Resilience Scale for Chinese Adolescents and the Life satisfaction Scale for Chinese Adolescents. The results showed that: (1) Extraversion was significantly positive correlated with life satisfaction and resilience.(2) Resilience was significantly positive correlated with general life satisfaction.(3) Regression analyses results revealed that resilience mediated the relation between Extraversion and life satisfaction.
