    nine dimensionsliving environment, health, financial security, school, transportation,
    recreation, friendships, family relation and self; second test measured big five personality
    factors on a sample of 400 adolescent boys and girls studying in urban and rural areas of
    Jaunpur district. For analysis of data Persons correlational technique and multiple
    regression analysis were used. Well-being and life satisfaction correlate positively with
    extraversion (.172** & .252**), agreeableness (.174** & .268**) and openness-to-experience
    (.166**& .163**) respectively. The set of five personality factors contributes 4.6 % variance
    to the total variance in well-being and 9.9 % of variance with life satisfaction dimension
    of well-being.

    judgements, such as life satisfaction and affective evaluations (moods and emotions),
    such as positive and negative emotional feelings. Life satisfaction is the cognitive
    component of subjective well-being and plays an important role in positive development
    as an indicator, a predictor, a mediator/moderator, and an out-come.
    Key Words: Subjective Well-being, Adolescents, Big Five Personality factors.

    INTRODUCTION
    The definitions of the five super factors represent an attempt to describe the common
    element among the traits, or sub-factors, within each bucket. The most commonly
    accepted buckets of traits are those developed by Costa and McCrae (1992). The
    nomenclature was developed for an academic and clinical population. They are often
    Big Five. The five factors are: Extraversion (Those who score high on extraversion are
    characterized by their preference of being around other people and involved in many
    activities. Low extraversion is characterized by ones preference to work alone and is
    typically described as serious, skeptical, quiet, and a private person.); Agreeableness
