Data were analysed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. Results showed that participants with personality traits of Openness to Experience. Agreeableness. Conscientiousness and Extraversion have significantly greater posttraumatic growth than participants possessing the Neuroticism personality trait. Female participants indicated significantly greater posttraumatic growth than their male counterparts. Also, religious affiliation (that is whether being a Christian or Muslim) does not have any significant influence on posttraumatic growth. The study concluded that some personality traits (specifically. Openness to Experience. Agreeableness. Conscientiousness, and Extraversion) and gender played significant roles on posttraumatic growth.
