The factors related with resilience, which is an important element of positive psychology, are still being discussed. The main purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between the resilience levels of individuals in emerging adulthood and the big five personality traits. Research Methods: Using a quantitative approach, the present study has been conducted based on a correlational descriptive model. The study group consists of 392 undergraduate students. The participants were selected through a purposeful sampling method. The participants were asked to fill out personal information forms and the Resilience Scale for Adults and take an Adjective-Based Personality Test. The correlation, t-test and multiple linear regression analyses were conducted to establish the relationships between the variables. Findings: As a result of the analyses, relationships were established between the sub-dimensions of resilience and the sub-dimensions of big five personality traits at various levels that appeared to support the body of literature.

The aim of this study is to investigate the blind and constructive patriotism tendencies of university students in light of the demographic structure and variables. The investigation is performed by using the correlational descriptive model. The purposeful sampling technique has been used and data was collected from a total of 390 university students. 225 (57.7%) of the participants were female and 165 (42.3%) were male; the age group of participants ranged from 18 to 26 years with a mean age of 20.42 (SD = 1.88). Demographic Information Form, Patriotism Attitude Scale and Relational, Individual and Collective Self Aspects Scale have been applied to the participants. The correlation, t-test, analysis of variance and regression analysis techniques were used in the analysis of the data. The obtained results reveal that, the blind patriotism scores of the participants show a significant difference according to sex. Also it was found that, the blind patriotism scores vary according to the city in which participants live. On the other hand, we conclude that there is a relationship between the blind patriotism and relational and collective aspect of the self. In addition, it has been seen that there is a significant relationship between the constructive patriotism and the relational aspect, individual and collective aspect of the self. Additionally, the collective self-aspect is a significant predictor of constructive patriotism.
