Abstract

Purposes: the stage of university learning is the key period for college students to transition from the role of student to good socialized individual role. Such important stage is of great significance in shaping students' cognition, emotion and will, and then affecting the acquisition of happiness of contemporary college students. This paper explores the happiness differences perceived by different external factors and personality factors through the analysis of the current situation of personality traits and happiness of contemporary college students to assist college students to recognize themselves, perceive themselves, and rationally boost their subjective happiness on the basis of a better understanding of themselves. Meanwhile, this paper also put forward constructive suggestions to promote the growth of college students' mental health. Methods: this paper uses random sampling to carry out questionnaire survey through the adoption of Eysenck Personality Questionnaire Short Scale for Chinese (EPQ-RSC) and the General Happiness Schedule (Fazio, 1977, abbreviated as GWB, this scale is developed by the National Statistical Center of the United States with 33 questions). At the same time, this paper uses SPSS16.0 to carry out data statistical analysis. Results: college students' happiness index has no relationship with external factors such as gender difference, grade difference, and only-child or not, has no significant relationship with psychoticism in personality traits, has significant negative correlation with neuroticism, and has significant positive correlation with internal and external tendentiousness. Conclusion: among the relevant factors affecting college students' psychological happiness, the external factors have less influence on the happiness and the personality traits have greater influence on the happiness. Personality factor is one of the most reliable indices to predict the happiness.
