TY - GEN T1 - The Role of Person Versus Situation in Life Satisfaction A Critical Examination. [ Articles]. A1 - Heller, Daniel UL - https://tuklas.up.edu.ph/Record/UP-8027390931312519778 AB - Two main theoretical approaches have been put forward to explain individual differences in the satisfaction: top--down (i.e., personological) and bottom-up (i.e.,situational) The authors examine the relative merit of these 2 approaches and the psychological processes underlying top-down models Consistent with a top-downapproach, meta-analysis findings indicate that Neuroticism, Extraversion, Aggreableness, and Conscientiousness are related to both various domain satisfactions and life satisfaction: however, consistent with a bottom-up approach, domain satisfaction are strongly linked to life satisfaction but only weakly linked to each other. Path analyses based on meta-analytic estimates did not support a simple : direct-effects" top -down model but supported both (a) a temperament- based top-down model and (b) an integrative model that incorporates the direct influence of domain satisfaction on life satisfaction. - (from the author) ER -
