Social Intelligence and Positive Affect Mediate the Relationship Between Agreeableness and Life Satisfaction

Korean Journal of Psychology: General / Korean Journal of Psychology: General, (P)1229-067X; (E)2734-1127

Abstract

While agreeableness has received considerable research attention as an important factor for life satisfaction, little attention has been given to the mechanisms that mediate its effects. The present research tested three-path mediation model in which social intelligence and positive affect are distally rooted in agreeableness, which predispose people toward life satisfaction. Participants were 202 college students who completed measures of social intelligence, positive affect, agreeableness, and life satisfaction. The results supported the predicted three-path mediation model. Higher levels of agreeableness were associated with higher social intelligence, which in turn affected life satisfaction by increasing positive affect. The implications of the results for developing interventions to improve life satisfaction are considered.
