Motivational persistence, optimism and neuroticism as dispositional determinants for self-concordance of goals and psychological well-being

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to highlight the impact of dispositional variables, such as motivational persistence, optimism and neuroticism on goals’ self - concordance and psychological well-being. The study was performed on a sample of 74 participants. The multiple regression analysis has shown the predictive role of motivational persistence, optimism and neuroticism for goals’ self - concordance and psychological well-being. The study highlighted the predictive role of motivational persistence, dispositional optimism and neuroticism in goals self - concordance as well as in psychological well-being. High levels of motivational persistence and dispositional optimism along with low levels of neuroticism predict altogether a high level of psychological well-being. Motivational persistence and optimism are independent predictors of goals’ self – concordance. The high levels of motivational persistence and those of optimism independently predicted goals’ self – concordance.
