What’s the relationship between personality dimensions, life events and well‐being? A large sample study in Croatia

The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between personality dimensions, positive and negative life events, and subjective and psychological well-being. The sample consisted of 4634 adult internet users from Croatia (76% female) aged 18 to 85 (M=35 years). This study is a part of longitudinal survey on well-being and life events in Croatia (CRO-WELL project, financed by Croatian science foundation). Measures used were International Personality Item Pool, Personal Wellbeing Index, one-item measure of Happiness and Flourishing Scale. The list of Life events contains 69 positive and negative events. Results of hierarchical regression analyses showed that personality dimensions contribute more to the explanation of psychological well-being measured by Flourishing Scale compared to the subjective well-being measured by the PWI and one-item measure of Happiness. Positive and negative life events equally contribute to the explanation of subjective well-being while positive events contribute more to the explanation of psychological well-being.
