Personality and Relationship Dispositions as Determinants of Subjective Well-Being
研究检验了神经质和人际温暖对主观幸福感的预测作用，发现情绪脆弱性和人际温暖能显著预测幸福感，而合群性则无显著影响。
Costa and McCrae have proposed that neuroticism and interpersonal warmth are major determinants of subjective well-being (SWB) while gregariousness is not. To test this formulation, a range of standard SWB and self-report personality measures was administererd by means of a structured interview to 144 subjects. Multiple regression analysis showed general emotional vulnerability followed by interpersonal warmth to be highly predictive of SWB. Gregariousness was not significantly predictive of SWB. The findings imply that the amount of social support available to an individual may be less important in contributing to well-being than is generally believed.
