摘要
In this study, an integrative analysis involving core self-evaluations and meta-mood experience as concurrent predictors of subjective happiness was conducted on a large sample of Spanish adults. Along with the expected direct and additional influence on subjective happiness, a significant core self-evaluations x meta-mood experience was found in explaining happiness scores beyond the independent effect of socio-demographic variables, core self-evaluations and meta-mood dimensions. However, this interaction was only found for core-self evaluations and beliefs about mood repair. Our findings provide some preliminary support for a specific interaction between a broad personality construct and beliefs about mood repair in explaining levels of happiness. Finally, some theoretical implications of the study of personality-happiness linkage from a mood self-regulation perspective are discussed. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
