Key Words Big Five Inventory; Empathy; Resilience; Dental student; Medical education
Core Tip Empathy is essential for effective dentist-patient communication, yet its psychological determinants in dental students remain insufficiently understood. This study demonstrates that Big Five personality traits are differentially associated with multiple dimensions of empathy measured by the Interpersonal Reactivity Index. Importantly, resilience, assessed using the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, functions as a key mediating mechanism linking personality traits to empathic capacity. These findings highlight resilience as a modifiable target for educational interventions and support the integration of resilience-focused training into dental curricula to promote sustainable, patient-centered empathy.
