Personalidad y bienestar psicológico: un estudio en universitarios chilenos

Enrique Barra Almagiá Barra Almagiá, Osvaldo Soto Quevedo, Karen Schmidt Díaz Schmidt Díaz

Resumen


El presente estudio, de tipo descriptivo-correlacional por encuesta, tuvo como propósito examinar la relación entre el modelo multidimensional de bienestar psicológico de Ryff y el modelo de los cinco factores de personalidad en estudiantes universitarios. Para ello se aplicaron las Escalas de Bienestar Psicológico y el Inventario de los Cinco Grandes a 315 estudiantes de pregrado de la Universidad de Concepción (Chile). Los resultados mostraron que, tal como se predecía, el bienestar psicológico y sus dimensiones se relacionaron de forma inversa con el Neuroticismo y de forma directa con los restantes factores de personalidad, y que los factores de Responsabilidad y Neuroticismo eran los que tenían mayor influencia en el bienestar psicológico. También se encontraron diferencias a favor de las mujeres en Neuroticismo, Amabilidad y Responsabilidad.
