Why would conscientious people be more satisfied with their lives?
What will be an ideal response?
Meta-analytic reviews report that conscientiousness (self-disciplined, efficient) ranks number one as the Big Five trait with the strongest positive relation to life satisfaction or number two behind extraversion. Why would conscientious people be more satisfied with their lives? Perhaps it is due to their greater likelihood of achieving their goals than impulsive or undirected individuals (those with opposite trait characteristics). Further, the process of setting challenging goals and working steadily toward them can create flow experiences, a concept that will be explored later, that lead to feelings of well-being.
