Personality Profiles and Well-Being: A Study Based on the Big Five Model in Young Adults

Abstract

The goal of this research was to examine the correlation between specific personality traits and psychological well-being. The research also investigated the influence of personality traits on the psychological well-being of young adults. The information was gathered through a Google form on the internet. We used Facebook, WhatsApp, and other social media platforms to find 106 people from the community to take part (39 men and 67 women). The sample encompassed a wide age span, specifically from 17 to 30 years. Participants filled out two demographic measures, the Ryff's Psychological Well-Being Scale, and the Big Five Inventory-2 Short Form. Pearson's product-moment correlation coefficients were utilized to assess the capacity of personality characteristics to predict psychological well-being. The findings demonstrated that numerous personality variables forecast psychological well-being. More research on personality and psychological well-being is necessary, particularly with a significantly larger sample to obtain more solid results.
