Abstract

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>We examined unique associations between surface personality traits of emotional intelligence, core self‐evaluations, and subjective well‐being in dental students. A cross‐sectional study of 218 undergraduates showed that trait emotional intelligence (trait <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">EI</jats:styled-content>) and core self‐evaluations (<jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">CSE</jats:styled-content>) predicted subjective well‐being controlling the <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">B</jats:styled-content>ig <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">F</jats:styled-content>ive personality traits. Structural equation modeling showed that trait <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">EI</jats:styled-content> and the neuroticism component of <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">CSE</jats:styled-content> better predicted affective components of subjective well‐being, and cognitive <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">CSE</jats:styled-content> traits (self‐esteem, self‐efficacy, and locus of control) better predicted life satisfaction, the cognitive component of subjective well‐being. These findings demonstrate the utility of a parallel‐process approach that specifies differential prediction of cognitive and affective subjective well‐being components.</jats:p>
