Personality traits and life satisfaction: A Chinese case study

The relationship between the subjective well-being and personality of Chinese public servants employed by a local authority was examined. A total of 682 participants completed the Delighted-Terrible Faces Scale (Andrews & Withey, 1976) and the Chinese Personality Scale (Wang & Cui, 2003). Regression analysis results indicated that extraversion was the strongest predictor of subjective well-being.
