Empirical Study of Personality and Well-Being
Journal Title: Psychological Thought - Year 2020, Vol 13, Issue 1
Abstract
Nowadays, in psychological science, health is regarded as a multidimensional construct, which comprises not only the negative aspects of human existence but also the positive mental functioning and well-being of human being. In this context, the article herein aims at exploring the interrelationship of temperament and character with the subjective well-being of Bulgarians. The results obtained in the presented study of 443 persons from Bulgaria (men and women aged 18 to 65 M = 34.35, SD = 5.046) indicated that there was a statistically significant influence of the predictors: Self-Direction, Self-Transcendence, Positive and Negative Affect on Life Satisfaction. A significant influence was found about some predictors as Novelty Seeking, Harm Avoidance, Persistence, Self-Directedness and Self-Transcendence on Positive Affect. Finally, a significant influence was found of the predictors: Harm Avoidance, Self-Directedness and Self-Transcendence on Negative Affect.
