“…First, neuroticism was clearly the largest and most consistent correlate of well-being; then came extraversion, closely followed by conscientiousness. These findings are generally consistent with DeNeve and Cooper (1998) and Steel et al (2008), whose meta-analytic studies focused on subjective well-being, and are consistent with Grant et al (2009) and Keyes et al (2002). While agreeableness and openness still had meaningful correlations, these were less consistent and generally smaller.…”

“…We decomposed cross-correlations between personality factors and well-being in order to identify the unique profile of personality correlations for each type of well-being, thereby replicating and extending previous work by Grant et al (2009), who included only four dimensions of PWB. We examined cross-correlations using all six PWB dimensions.…”

“…Only a few studies have examined correlations between personality and PWB (Bardi & Ryff, 2007;Butkovic, Brkovic, & Bratko, 2012;Grant, Langan-Fox, & Anglim, 2009;Keyes et al, 2002;Schmutte & Ryff, 1997). Such studies suggest that neuroticism, extraversion and conscientiousness are the major correlates for most PWB dimensions.…”

“…In broad terms, SWB dimensions were often well predicted by neuroticism and extraversion, whereas agreeableness, openness, and conscientiousness were important correlates of several PWB dimensions (c.f. Grant et al, 2009). In addition, residual cross-correlations and standardized betas highlighted several relationships between PWB and the Big 5 that shed light on the nature of the PWB construct contributing to broader discussion regarding the meaning of PWB (e.g., Ryff & Singer, 1998.…”

“…In order to compare Big 5 correlates of SWB versus PWB, Grant et al (2009) used a model constraints approach. After reversing neuroticism and negative affect, they found support for a model where personality traits varied in their average correlation with wellbeing, and well-being dimensions varied in their average correlation with personality.…”

Posttraumatic depression rates are increasing in the United States, and there is a great need to identify malleable factors that could moderate posttraumatic depression levels. The purpose of this study was to examine whether resilient coping moderates the effects of trauma exposure on depression, while controlling for neuroticism-an established predictor of depressive symptoms. This study used data from 3,734 pairs of twins from the community-based University of Washington Twin Registry. Each twin pair was randomized with twin A in one subsample and twin B in the second subsample. The four-item Brief Resilient Coping Scale measured resilient coping. The two-item Patient Health Questionnaire measured depression. Multiple linear regression analyses were performed on each subsample, controlling for neuroticism. In addition to significant effects of neuroticism and trauma exposure on depression (p < .001), the effect of the interaction of resilient coping and trauma exposure on depression was significant in both subsamples (p < .01). High levels of resilient coping were associated with lower depression scores in the context of previous trauma exposure. Individuals high in resilient coping who experienced significant life traumas were less depressed after trauma exposure, even after controlling for neuroticism. Because coping skills may be learned, interventions that teach resilient coping to individuals with traumatic histories merit investigation. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

This paper analyzes the changes in subjective well‐being (SWB) in 11 Latin American cities at the end of the acceleration phase of the COVID‐19 pandemic, the variables that influenced these changes, and the role of the public support policies and the social capital on SWB recovery. This study, the second of a two‐phase research project, is a survey‐based comparative analysis. The 5604 survey responses obtained included 3279 observations from the research project's preceding phase, and 2325 observations conducted as part of the second project phase and current study. A multivariate linear regression model was used to evaluate the impact of the different variables related to COVID‐19 on people's SWB. Results show that the most significant positive impacts on SWB, are attributed to social capital, particularly family and social cohesion. The study confirms that the level of SWB is strongly associated with personality traits, health, and key variables such as age, marital status, and income. The different measures established to control the pandemic have not remedied the negative impacts of COVID‐19 on people's SWB. However, an increase in different degrees of SWB was observed in 10 out of the 11 cities between the initial survey and the follow‐up survey.
