dc.description.abstract | This study aims to estimate the associations between personality factors and both love of life )LL( and self-esteem )S-E(, and )b( exploring personality factors predicting both LL and S-E. A sample of female undergraduates from Kuwait University )N = 458( was selected, where they responded to the Arabic Big-Five Personality Inventory )ABFPI( of Love of Life Scale, and Self- Esteem Scale. Results indicated that the lowest mean score on the ABFPI was for neuroticism whereas the highest was for agreeableness. Comparing with previous studies, the LL and the S-E had higher mean scores. LL and S-E had statistically significant positive correlations with all personality factors except neuroticism )negative(. Principal component analysis showed two factors labeled: Stable personality, and Positive traits versus neuroticism. Stepwise regression analysis indicated that the predictors of LL were neuroticism )negative( agreeableness, conscientiousness, and extraversion )positive(. Whereas the predictors of S-E were conscientiousness, lack of neuroticism, and agreeableness. It was concluded that studying the associations between personality and other variables of positive psychology is an important topic to define the personality factors that associate with the subjective well-being. | en_US |
