“…This finding is consistent with previous findings (D 'Zurilla et al, 2011;McMurran et al, 2001). The neuroticism dimension of personality was strongly related to negative problem orientation (McMurran et al, 2001). Although there was a strong relationship between neuroticism and social problem-solving (McMurran et al, 2001), the most consistent predictor of social problemsolving ability was conscientiousness (D'Zurilla et al, 2011).…”

“…Results showed that the neuroticism dimension of personality was strongly correlated with negative problem orientation (D'Zurilla et al, 2011;McMurran et al, 2001), and conscientiousness and openness were associated with higher problem-solving ability (D'Zurilla et al, 2011). As we examined the findings, there was a direct relationship between personality and social problem-solving, but the question remained whether a mechanism mediates between personality and social problem-solving.…”

“…Although a number of previous studies have explored the relationship between social problem-solving and significant outcomes, there are few findings to predict social problemsolving. Some studies were conducted to investigate the relationship between personality and social problem-solving (D'Zurilla et al, 2011;McMurran, Egan, Blair & Richardson, 2001) self-esteem and social problem-solving (D'Zurilla, Chang, & Sanna, 2003;Temel, 2008). However, no study has examined the direct and indirect relationships among personality, self-esteem and social problemsolving.…”

The purpose of the present study was to examine direct and indirect relationships among personality, selfesteem and social problem-solving, as well as the mediating role of self-esteem in the link between personality and social problem-solving among Turkish youth. The study utilized a cross-sectional design comprising several self-reports. Data for the present study were collected from 687 undergraduate students. The participants included 428 (66%) females and 220 (34%) males, and their ages ranged from 18 to 35years, with a mean of 22.46 years (SD = 2.45). Findings illustrated that extraversion, openness, conscientiousness, agreeableness and self-esteem were significantly and positively correlated with social problem-solving, whereas neuroticism showed a negative correlation. Self-esteem is significantly and positively associated with extraversion, openness, conscientiousness, agreeableness and social problem-solving, and it appears to act as a mediator in the relationship between personality and social problem-solving. The findings indicated that personality and selfesteem directly affected social problem-solving, and personality also indirectly affected social problem-solving through self-esteem. In conclusion, personality and self-esteem were found to be significantly related to social problem-solving among Turkish youth.
