Abstract:
Objective To explore the relationships of subjective well-being with personality trait and self-efficacy in policemen.Methods Totally 329 policemen from 3 prisons were assessed with General Well-Being Schedule (GWBS),Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ) and General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES).The relationship between subjective well-being and personality traits,self-efficacy of policemen was analyzed using correlation analysis,variance analysis,regression analysis and structural equation modeling.Results The personality of extroverted stability had the highest score in GSE (2.74 ± 0.56) and GWB (88.89±11.90),while the introverted instability had the lowest(GSE:(2.19±0.46);GWB:(67.38±13.79)).Psychoticism(2.45± 1.72) was negatively correlated with GWB (78.24± 15.32) (r=-0.19,P＜0.01),neuroticism(5.07±3.31) was negatively correlated with GSE (2.50±0.57) and GWB (r=-0.38,-0.60,all P＜0.0l),while introversion-extroversion(8.13±2.86) was positively correlated with GSE and WGB (r=0.26,0.29,all P＜0.01).Structural equation model showed that neuroticism negatively influenced GWB (γ =-0.610,P＜0.01),and introversion-extroversion positively influenced GWB (γ=0.169,P＜0.05).Self-efficacy had partial mediating effect on relationship between neuroticism and GWB as well as the relationship between introversion-extroversion and GWB.Conclusions There is a high correlation between neuroticism and GWB.Self-efficacy plays a mediating role on relationship between personality trait and GWB.It can promote GWB of policemen by enhancing their self-efficacy.
