Traits, Mood, and Subjective Wellbeing

Subjective well-being (SWB) refers to an individual's self-evaluation of their overall life satisfaction, happiness, and fulfillment. This multifaceted construct is typically assessed by analyzing the balance of positive and negative emotions alongside perceptions of life satisfaction. Personality traits such as neuroticism and extraversion are strongly associated with variations in SWB, offering critical insights into the underlying mechanisms of emotional well-being.
Neuroticism and...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Social Sciences

Background:

  • Happiness and wellbeing are crucial life forces influenced by various factors.
  • Religious dogmatism is identified as a significant detractor from overall wellbeing.
  • Understanding the mechanisms by which dogmatism affects happiness is essential.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the relationship between dogmatism and wellbeing.
  • To investigate how religious dogmatism specifically diminishes wellbeing.
  • To explore the psychological pathways linking dogmatism to reduced happiness.

Main Methods:

  • A correlational research design was employed.
  • The study included 180 adults aged 30-50 in Tehran, Iran (2015).
  • Data were collected using the Oxford Happiness Questionnaire and Rokeach Dogmatism Scale, analyzed via Pearson correlation.

Main Results:

  • A statistically significant negative correlation was observed between dogmatism and happiness (p<0.05).
  • Higher levels of dogmatism were associated with lower levels of reported happiness.

Conclusions:

  • Dogmatism is a detrimental factor affecting individual wellbeing.
  • Religious dogmatism poses a significant threat to psychological wellbeing.
  • Inflexible cognitive systems in dogmatic individuals lead to poor environmental adjustment, decreasing affective and cognitive wellbeing, and increasing aggression.
