| description | Psychological well-being is a significant determinant of mental health and
success in profession of future class and preschool teachers. Hence, it is
extremely important to investigate the individual factors that contribute to
it. The aim of this research is to determine the contribution of personality
traits, self-esteem and the locus of control in predicting the degree of
subjective well-being in future class and preschool teachers. The sample
included 418 students. The following instruments were used in the research:
the Short Subjective Well-being Scale (KSB), the Big Five Plus Two
questionnaire (VP+2), Rosenberg’s Self-Esteem Scale and the Scale for
Measuring the Locus of Control (LO K IM-2). The results indicate that all
three investigated categories of individual factors significantly predict
the affective (64% of variance explained) and cognitive component (51% of
variance explained) of subjective wellbeing, whereby personality traits
proved to be the most important predictors. Neuroticism and extraversion
contribute most to positive affectivity (Nβ=-0,801; Eβ=- 0,794) and a
positive attitude towards life (Nβ=-0,701; Eβ=-0,736). The educational
implications refer to the possibilities of encouraging and developing those
individual personality traits that significantly contribute to subjective
well-being of future class and preschool teachers. In this way, we can also
contribute to their mental health, which is the necessary precondition of
the accomplishment of educational work. |
