The current study assessed the effect of the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic on subjective well-being (SWB) and psychological well-being (PWB) and whether the pandemic moderated the effect of personality on well-being. Measures of Big Five personality, SWB (life satisfaction, positive affect, and negative affect), and PWB (positive relations, autonomy, environmental mastery, personal growth, purpose in life, and self-acceptance) were obtained from a sample of young adults in Melbourne, Australia (n = 1,132; July 13–August 11, 2020) during a second wave of viral transmission and lockdown and an identically recruited pre-COVID sample (n = 547). Well-being was lower in the COVID sample, and differences were largest for positive affect (d = −0.48) and negative affect (d = 0.70). While the effect of personality on well-being was relatively robust, the effect of personality on well-being was slightly reduced, and the effect of extroversion on positive affect was particularly attenuated during the pandemic.

当前的研究评估了COVID-19（冠状病毒）大流行对主观幸福感（SWB）和心理健康（PWB）的影响，以及该流行病是否减轻了人格对幸福感的影响。大五人格，SWB（生活满意度，正面影响和负面影响）和PWB（正面关系，自主权，环境掌控，个人成长，生活目的和自我接纳）的量度均来自年轻人样本在澳大利亚墨尔本（n = 1,132； 2020年7月13日至2020年8月11日）期间进行了第二次病毒传播和封锁，并收集了同样募集的COVID前样本（n = 547）。COVID样本中的幸福感较低，而正面影响的差异最大（d= -0.48）和负面影响（d = 0.70）。尽管人格对幸福感的影响相对较强，但在大流行期间，人格对幸福感的影响略有降低，外向性对积极影响的影响尤为减弱。
