Abstract
espanolExiste poca informacion de como los rasgos de personalidad puede afectar al bienestar psicologico. Los estudios senalan que el neuroticismo y la extraversion son los rasgos que mayor vinculacion poseen con el bienestar psicologico. En este estudio se investigo como los rasgos de personalidad se asocian a las seis dimensiones del bienestar psicologico en una muestra de adultos mayores espanoles. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 224 adultos mayores a los que se aplicaron las escalas de bienestar psicologico y el cuestionario NEO-FFI. Se analizaron los resultados mediante regresion lineal multiple. Se obtuvieron asocia-ciones significativas en todas las dimensiones del bienestar psicologico siendo negativas las del neuroti-cismo, y positivas las de extraversion, responsabilidad, apertura a la experiencia y amabilidad. La asociacion negativa del neuroticismo con las dimensiones del bienestar psicologico indicaria que una puntuacion alta en este rasgo tendria un caracter desadaptativo para un buen envejecer. Las asociaciones positivas de los demas rasgos de personalidad con el bienestar psicologico sugeririan su caracter facilitador para un funcionamiento optimo durante el envejecimiento. EnglishThere is little information on how personality traits can affect psychological well-being. Studies suggest that the traits with the strongest associations with psychological well-being are neuroticism and extraversion to. The present study investigated associations between personality traits and the six dimensions of psychological well-being in a sample of older Spanish adults. The sample comprised 224 older adults who completed the psychological well-being scales and the NEO-FFI questionnaire. The results were analyzed using multiple linear regressions. Significant associations were found between all the dimensions of psychological well-being: these associations were negative in the case of neuroticism, and positive in the case of extraversion, conscientiousness, openness to experience, and agreeableness. The negative association between neuroticism and the dimensions of psychological well-being suggest that high scores in this trait would be maladaptive for a good aging experience. Positive associations between other personality traits and psychological well-being suggest that they would facilitate optimal functioning during aging.
