Correlation Between Mental Well-Being And Personality Traits Among Usiu-A Students

Abstract:

The primary goal of this study was to investigate the association between personality traits and mental well-being of USIU-A students. In order to achieve this goal, the study formulated three specific objectives to guide the development of the study. The first objective was to assess the personality traits and mental well-being of USIU-A students. Secondly, to determine the association of personality traits and mental well-being of the participants. Lastly, to investigate the association of personality traits and mental well-being by gender as the mediating variable. The data was collected using standardized Big Five Inventor survey for the big-five personality traits and well-being self-assessment survey tools. The study used Pearson’s correlation matrix and multiple linear regression models to find the association between the Big-Five personality traits and mental well-being, and regression analysis to determine association between gender-mediated Big-Five personality traits and mental well-being. The results revealed overall significant associations of the Big-Five personality traits (F (5,296) = 59.123, p = .001) and the gender mediated Big-Five personality traits (F (6 295) = 36.378, p = .012) with mental well-being of the students. Thus, the study concluded that the Big-Five what??? and gender-mediated Big-Five personality traits have significant association with mental well-being of university students.
