Positive event diversity: Relationship with personality and well-being.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Examining the personality and well-being correlates of positive event diversity.

Background

Past research has highlighted that personality traits are linked to the frequency of daily positive events. This study is the first to examine positive event diversity, the extent to which positive events are spread across multiple types of positive life domains, as well as its personality and well-being correlates.

Method

We conducted parallel analyses of three daily diary datasets (Ns = 1919, 744, and 1392) that included evening assessment of daily positive events and affective well-being. The Big Five personality traits were assessed in baseline surveys.

Results

Positive Event Diversity was related to higher person-mean daily positive affect but not negative
