Preserving Subjective Wellbeing in the Face of Psychopathology: Buffering Effects of Personal Strengths and Resources

“…Nonetheless, ProbS were a specific predictor of the positive outcome variable in this study, giving evidence for the differentiation of PMH and NMH constructs proposed in the dual‐factor model of mental health (Iasiello et al, 2020; Keyes, 2002). In line with our results, Bos et al (2016) showed that currently perceived strengths might have a specific predictive value for PMH in persons with high psychopathology.…”

“…3 ). All three correlations were in the predicted direction as studies have identified a positive phenotypic correlation between all three traits and the EQ 31 , 65 . We previously reported a small positive correlation between the EQ and the Eyes Test ( r g = 0.18 ± 0.06; P = 0.007) 34 , mirroring previous reported estimates of phenotypic correlation in the general population 35 and estimates in our database from 916 neurotypical adults ( r = 0.11 ± 0.032; P = 0.003, Pearson's correlation).…”

“…Additionally, we identified two nominally significant correlations: the EQ with subjective wellbeing (r g = 0.19±0.07; P = 7.8x10 -3 ), and NEO-conscientiousness (r g = 0.39±0.14; P = 8.8x10 -03 ) (Figure 3). All three correlations were in the predicted direction as studies have identified a positive phenotypic correlation between all three traits and the EQ 31,65 . We previously reported a small positive correlation between the EQ and the Eyes Test (r g = 0.18±0.06; P = 0.007) 34 , mirroring previous reported estimates of phenotypic correlation in the general population 35 and estimates in our database from 916 neurotypical adults (r = 0.11±0.032; P = 0.003, Pearson correlation).…”
