摘要

Lebanon has recently experienced severe, overlapping crises, heightening the risk of psychopathology and underscoring the importance of psychological resilience, particularly among vulnerable populations such as adolescents. Resilience – the capacity to withstand and recover from adversity – is shaped by both individual and environmental factors. Guided by Bioecological Systems Theory, this study examined the associations between adolescents’ personality traits, perceived parenting practices (parental warmth and psychological control), and resilience. We also investigated whether personality and parenting interacted in predicting resilience. Data was collected from 416 parent–adolescent dyads in Lebanon using convenience and snowball sampling. Parents reported on warmth and psychological control, while adolescents reported on personality traits and resilience. Multiple regression analyses indicated that agreeableness and openness to experience were consistent positive predictors of resilience, whereas parenting practices were not significant predictors. Significant interactions emerged for conscientiousness × psychological control and neuroticism × psychological control. Exploratory hierarchical regression analyses further demonstrated that personality traits accounted for substantially more variance in resilience than parenting practices. Additional comparative model analyses indicated that a parallel predictors model fit the data better than a sequential model. Overall, findings suggest that personality traits are stronger predictors of adolescents’ resilience than parenting practices. The comparatively weak associations between parenting and resilience may be understood from a developmental perspective (i.e., individuation during adolescence) or through gene–environment correlations, whereby adolescents’ personality characteristics shape parental responses. Although based on correlational data, these findings tentatively suggest that interventions targeting volitional personality development may support resilience building during adolescence.
