In this current study the Authors explain the relationships between personality and SWB and contributes to reduce the doubt in this monarchy. Results confirm that the understanding of relations between personality and subjective well-being implies the need of questions at a detailed level of personality and SWB, since that could help us understand how personality traits are related to each specific SWB component. Our findings suggest that characteristics, within the same personality domain, predict differentially each of the three SWB components (neuroticism, …show more content…

The study argued that a father might distance himself from the family while a mother might transfer her marital affection more toward the mother-child relationship (or sometimes vice versa). The study looked into how parenting behaviors might also affect the possibility of divorce, which was interconnected to the father and mother-child relationships, Schindler and Conley found “greater mother-youth closeness, lower father youth closeness, lower mother positive marital behaviors and at a trend level, lower father positive marital behaviors each predicted a higher likelihood of marital separation” also pointing out that for each year a couple is married that the likelihood of separation goes down
