Abstract: The aim of this study is to explore the relationship between subjective well-being (SWB), big three personality, and the factors affecting this relationship. In the present study, 43 retrievable literatures including 16377 participants were reviewed. We found the following results: (1) Extroversion of EPQ had positive correlation with SWB, while neuroticism and psychoticism had negative. In comparison with foreign researches, the correlation between SWB, extroversion and neuroticism of Chinese participants were stronger. The conjunctions of personality and culture played an important role of SWB among Chinese participants. (2)The difference of SWB structure had no significant influence on correlation between SWB and big three personality. Therefore, the structure of SWB needs to be more standard and clearer. (3) The correlation between SWB and extroversion was regulated by age, while neuroticism and psychoticism were not. Finally, the results and direction of further research were discussed.

Key words: subjective well-being, Big Three personality, meta-analysis
