ABSTRACT

This study investigates the relationship between gender, personality traits, and satisfaction with life among undergraduate students. Utilizing a sample of [n=152] participants who are resided in Bangalore, data was collected through online Google form. Personality traits were assessed using established measures such as the Eysenck’s personality inventory (H J Eysenck, 1975), while life satisfaction was evaluated through Satisfaction with life scale (Emmons E Diener, 1985). Results indicate no significant gender differences in certain personality traits, with implications for life satisfaction. The findings highlight the importance of understanding gender dynamics in shaping individuals’ perceptions of well-being within the undergraduate context. This research contributes to the broader literature on personality psychology and gender studies, offering insights for educators, counsellors, and policymakers seeking to support the holistic development of undergraduate students.
