Family is the first exposure everyone has after leaving the mother’s womb. Family
provides firsthand experiences and helps to develop the core basis and archetypes that
are formed by experiences in an individual. Unfortunately, a family can inflict anguish
and pain on a youngster too. The purpose of this research is to investigate the correlation
among Depression, Anxiety, Stress, Resilience and Personality aspects such as
Openness to Experience, Agreeableness, Neuroticism, Extraversion, and
conscientiousness that have been evaluated using the Depression, Anxiety, Stress
Scale (DASS), Brief Resilience Scale (BRS), and Big 5 Inventory for Personality,
respectively.In the witnessed young adults sample (both genders). The witnessed young
adults were 54 (39 females and 15 males). Pearson’s correlation in witnessed adults
shows a negative correlation between Agreeableness and Resilience, Depression
correlates with Agreeableness, Conscientiousness and Neuroticism (p<.001), and a
positive correlation was found between neuroticism and Anxiety (p=0.002). A negative
correlation was found between Agreeableness and Stress (p=0.008), similarly, a strong
positive correlation was observed between Neuroticism and Stress (p< .001).Positive
correlations were found between Agreeableness with Conscientiousness and Neuroticism
variables.A high level of positive correlation was found between Conscientiousness and
Openness (p< .001). In witnessed males, a good association exists between neuroticism
and Depression, and between Neuroticism and Stress. There was a high positive
correlation between Anxiety and Stress variables with Depression, Pearson’s r values
are 0.895 (p< .001) and 0.860 (p< .001), respectively. Similarly, there is a high positive
correlation between Stress and Anxiety (p< .001). There was a highly positive correlation
between Agreeableness and Conscientiousness (p< .001). In witnessed females,there
was a negative correlation between Agreeableness and Resilience, and a positive
correlation was of Neuroticism with Depression, Anxiety, and Stress. A statistically
significant relationship was observed between Agreeableness and Stress& Anxiety and
Stress. Among the personality variables, A statistically significant relationship was
observed between Extraversion and Agreeableness
