Relationships of resilience with personality, cognitive attention, positive and negative affect in military medical students
Objective To identify the relationships of resilience with personality
cognitive attention
positive and negative affect in military medical students. Methods Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale(CD-RISC)
NEO Five-Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI)
Attention to Positive and Negative Information Scale (APNIS) and Chinese version of Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS-C) were used to survey in 1 100 military medica
l students sampled from a military medical university. Results There were 1 014 valid questionnaires collected in this study. The total score of resilience was 72.83±11.21
with that of the students from grades 1 and 3 significantly higher than that of the students from grade 2 (
P
0.01)
but there was no significant difference between male and female students (
P
0.05). There were significant differences in the personality
cognitive attention and positive and negative affect between the students with higher and lower resilience score (
P
0.01). Total resilience had an obvious positive correlation with extraversion
openness
agreeableness
conscientiousness
positive/others
positive/self and positive affect (r=0.12 to 0.56
P0.01). It was also negatively correlated with neuroticism
negative/others
negative/self and negative affect (r=-0.30 to -0.15
P
0.01). Neuroticism
conscientiousness
agreeableness
negative/self
positive/self
negative affect and positive affect were important and effective predictors for resilience
accounting for 41.9% of variance. Positive affect partially mediated the effects of extraversion and negative affect on resilience
and positive affect also totally mediated the relationship of negative/self and resilience. Conclusion Military medical students’ resilience is closely related with their personality
cognitive attention
positive and negative affect. Positive personality characteristics
rational cognitive attention
and positive affect are important protective factors for resilience
and are helpful to improve the development of personal resilience.
