Abstract

The study seeks to determine which personality trait has the most impact and correlation with quality of life.
The researcher used a descriptive-analytical approach, and the research sample consisted of 100 female students from various majors and different academic levels at the Women's College. The participants' ages ranged from 19 to 22 years. Two instruments were employed in the study:
1. The Big Five Inventory (BFI) developed by Costa and McCrae, and the Major Dimensions of Personality Scale developed by Dr. Mary Abdullah Habib.
2. The World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale (WHOQOL-BREF), and the Quality of Life Scale by Mahmoud Mansy and Mahdi Kazem.
Pearson correlation coefficient was used to study the strength and direction of the relationship between the study variables. The results indicate a moderate positive relationship between openness to experience and quality of life. Additionally, there is an inverse relationship between quality of life and neuroticism, as quality of life decreases when neuroticism increases.
The researcher also utilized skewness, standard deviation, and mean. The average quality of life was found to be 55.4 with a standard deviation of 8.25. The skewness coefficient for quality of life was 0.491, indicating a very small skewness. Therefore, it can be inferred that there is no skewness. Furthermore, the results show that extraversion was the most influential among the five variables on the dependent variable (quality of life), as the quality of life increases with higher levels of extraversion.
