چکیده
Little is known about individual patterns of subjective well-being (SWB) over the life course. Therefore, we examine individual long-term patterns by making a distinction between the shape of the SWB pattern and its mean level. Further, in order to contribute to the discussion about the impact of personality and life events on SWB, we examine the effects of both factors on the mean level and the pattern. A Dutch Panel Study is used in which young adults were followed for 18 years (N = 766). Six patterns of SWB are defined: Stable, increasing, decreasing, U-shaped, reversed U-shaped and fluctuating. A stable pattern is found to be most common, but the majority of the young adults has a changing SWB pattern. The multivariate analyses show that neuroticism exerts negative and extraversion positive effect on the SWB mean. Life events in the relationship domain are related to the mean level and the pattern of SWB. In addition, there are several interaction effects of events and personality.
