The aim of this study was to investigate the contributions of personality traits and life events as predictors of subjective well-being (SWB). Therefore, 274 students were participants, 69% women. Results showed neuroticism and extraversionas the main predictors of SWB. Furthermore, six life events contributed to the explanation of SWB, for example, "relationship breakup" showed was a positive predictor of PositiveAffect;and "financial problems" predicted Life Satisfaction negatively. The results suggest that although people can evaluate their lives as more positive and experience more positive emotions depending on their personality traits, it is pertinent to adopt an integrative approach in the field of SWB, incorporating intrinsic factors such as personality, as well as extrinsic factors such as life events.
