Presenting a Structural Model of Predicting Resilience based on Enneagram Personality Types with the Mediation of Adaptive Motivational Structure in Students

This research was conducted with the purpose of presenting a structural model of predicting resilience based on Enneagram personality types with the mediation of adaptive motivational structure in students. The cross-sectional research method is correlational. The statistical population of this research was formed by all the students of Islamic Azad University of Tehran province in 2018, from among them, 400 people were selected by multi-stage cluster sampling method. In this research, tools of resilience (Connor and Davidson, 2003), personality types (Riso and Hudson, 2013), and motivational structure (Cox and Klinger, 1995) were used, all of which had acceptable validity and reliability. In order to analyze the data, SPSS-V23 and Lisrel-V8.8 software were used. Also, in order to respond to the research hypotheses, structural equation modeling was used. The research findings showed that the model has a good fit. Also, the results showed that Enneagram personality types have an indirect effect on resilience with the mediating role of adaptive motivational structure. In general, it can be concluded that some personality traits such as tolerance, forgiveness, adaptability, hard work, curiosity and decisiveness in relationship can help people to experience higher levels of resilience and motivational structure. Therefore, the findings of this research have been discussed theoretically and practically in the light of the existing research process, and suggestions have been presented in both theoretical and practical areas.
