Big five personality trait, intolerance of uncertainty, psychological well-being, VUCAAbstract
The VUCA era is an era of life that is described as a situation full of change, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity which has a negative impact on humans psychologically by decreasing the psychological well-being of society, especially students. Previous research found that psychological well-being is affected by intolerance of uncertainty (IU) in individuals. Other studies have also found that personality traits are factors that influence IU in individuals. This study aims to examine the effect of personality traits (OCEAN) on the psychological well-being of students via intolerance of uncertainty in Palembang City students who are affected by VUCA. Data was collected from 106 students in Palembang City using Ryff's Psychological Well-Being Scale version 18 item (RPWB-18), Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale version 12 item (IU-12), and Big Five Inventory - 2 (BFI-2) version of 30 items adapted to Indonesian and tested. The results showed that IU, and the personality traits of neuroticism and conscientiousness had a significant effect on psychological well-being. Meanwhile, IU was significantly influenced by the personality traits of neuroticism and extraversion. However, the results of the study did not find any indirect influence of personality traits on psychological well-being through intolerance of uncertainty (IU).
