Abstract
The present study aimed to explore relationship among Big Five, positive mental health and psychopathology,
we investigated whether we could replicate on heterogeneous Pakistani sample positive association between
positive mental health and personality traits and negative association with neuroticism. Besides analyzing pure
associations, we shed further light on confirmation of dual continua model of mental health within collectivistic
Pakistani culture along with an exploration of unique contributions of multidimensional construct of positive
mental health with Big Five. Our results clearly were in line with previously found positive association between
psychopathology and neuroticism. Big five traits were also found to have differential associations with
components of positive mental health, thereby providing support for independence of both continua hence
confirming dual continua model of mental health in Pakistan.
