04 February 2017
Subjective well-being (SWB) is the total evaluation of the lives and feelings of individuals. Research has found that personality traits e.g., Extraversion and Neuroticism, and culture are predictors of SWB. As a multi-racial and multi-religious country, Singapore is unique and unlike other collectivistic cultures. Western notions also influence Singapore though rooted in Confucianism. The current research aims to investigate on the effects of both culture and personality on SWB of Singapore.
