Wellbeing, Personality Characteristics, Mental healthAbstract
In many circumstances of life, personality has been proven to be more closely linked with wellbeing. It may also be due to the fact that temperament and other individual’s characteristics can impact their sentiments and assessments of their lives. The present study primarily aimed to investigate mental health problems among adolescents of Pakistan. In the present study 306 adolescents participated, the sample was drawn from different colleges and universities located in the city of Faisalabad and Lahore, Pakistan. Descriptive Statistics, Correlation analysis, and t-statistics were employed to analyze the data in statistical terminology. Our results reveal that extraversion, conscientiousness, and agreeableness are strongly positively correlated with wellbeing, meanwhile, openness is not strongly correlated with both dimensions of wellbeing. However, neuroticism has no correlation with happiness and negatively associated with life satisfaction.
