Abstract

The study verified self-esteem, extraversion, neuroticism and health as predictors of subjectively-assessed quality of life. The sample included 109 adolescents. The research tools used were WHOQOL-BREF, Rosenberg´s self-esteem scale and NEO-FFI personality questionnaire. The results were processed using the multiple linear regression analysis stepwise method. Health was not found to be a predictor of subjectively-assessed quality of life in the research sample. Self-esteem was found to be a predictor of psychological and environmental quality of life. Neuroticism was confirmed as a predictor only for physical quality of life. Extraversion was established as a universal predictor for all the aspects of quality of life measured: physical, psychological and environmental.
