Popis: The new approach in positive psychology is growing rich with the acceptance of life in all aspects and with views on the optimal use of human potential; it is being shaped by a new perspective that can be accepted as a full explanation of not only positive emotion but also of sources and motives of positive emotion, and respect for human. One of the predictors of positive emotion is personality traits. Within this scope, this research aimed at exploring the relationship between personality and eudaimonic well-being. A total of 316 undergraduates participated in the study. The data were collected online through the Questionnaire for Eudaimonic Well-Being and The Big Five Inventory. The findings showed that stability involving agreeableness, conscientiousness, and neuroticism significantly affected undergraduates’ eudaimonic well-being. However, plasticity involving extraversion and openness had no significant effect.
