C3b The Role of Personality Traits in the Relationship Between Happiness and Money
Key Words
Happiness, subjective well-being, positive emotion, wealth, Big Five personality traits
Short Description
The purpose of this study is to investigate the potential for happiness/SWB to lead to positive financial outcomes by examining the role of personality traits (Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism) in this relationship. A substantial body of literature has investigated the effects of the Big Five personality traits on individuals' financial behaviors such as trading activities (Brown and Taylor 2014; Klein, Wagner, and Weller 2016) and financial conditions such as lifetime earnings and wealth (Nabeshima and Seay 2015; Gensowski 2018); however, these traits have not yet been systematically investigated with psychological theory to determine how they are related to the relationship between happiness and money. Mowen's (2000) 3M Model of Motivation and Personality suggests that personality type is mediated by other individual traits to facilitate behavior, which suggests a possible path from personality traits to financial outcomes, mediated by happiness/SWB. Using a sample of older adults from the Health and Retirement Study, results from a strucutral equation model with a confirmatory factor analysis suggest significant direct and indirect effects between personality, positive emotions, and wealth.
