ინდივიდუალური მახასიათებლების მიმართება ფსიქოლოგიური კარგად ყოფნის განცდასთან: პატიების მედიაციური როლი

Plenty of research has studied the association between individual differences and
psychological well-being, although there are few studies that examine PWB in relationship
with both: basic personality traits and less stable characteristics that can be trained though
practice. Also, there is lack of research on PWB predictors in adolescents.
In the given study we examined relationship between PWB (Diener & Biswas-Diener,
2009) and individual differences: “Big Five” ( Gosling, Rentfrow, & Swann, 2003), Emotional
Intelligence (Petrides, 2009; Georgian version of: Martskvishvili et all, 2013), and Character
Strengths (McGrath, 2017). We also observed the mediation effect of forgiveness (Berry et
al., 2005) on this association. Participants were 171 adolescents aged 12-18 (M=14.6,
SD=1.8) whose at least one parent has been emigrated abroad.
The obtained data has been analysed with correlation, standard multiple regression and
mediation analysis.
The results showed that personality traits of extraversion, agreeableness and conscientiousness
are predicting PWB, while form character strengths optimism, wisdom and transcendence are
the predictors. EI also has the important predictive value for PWB, especially the scale of
well-being. After controlling for EI and character strengths, personality traits lost their
predictive significance. The results also indicated that forgiveness partially mediates the
association between EI and PWB.
