This study assessed the contribution of personality traits and generativity before retirement in the prediction of hedonic and eudaimonic wellbeing at two temporal points after retirement. Method: This article analyses data from the MIDUS (Midlife in the United States) longitudinal sample. Specifically, it uses a sub-sample of people who were not retired at Time 1, but were 9 years after at Time 2 (n=548) and 18 years after at Time 3 (n=351). Results: After controlling both for initial values on hedonic and eudaimonic wellbeing and for the effects of personal attributes and resources, higher scores on extraversion at Time 1 significantly predicted hedonic wellbeing at Time 2 while lower scores on neuroticism and higher scores on generativity at Time 1 significantly predicted eudaimonic wellbeing at Time 2. Neuroticism and generative concern at Time 1 remained significant in the prediction of eudaimonic wellbeing at Time 3. Conclusions: The study shows that personality traits and generative concern at midlife explain a meaningful part of the variation in individuals’ quality of subsequent retirement adjustment.Wiley Periodicals202520182025infoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion15 p.application/pdfhttps://hdl.handle.net/2445/217870Articles publicats en revistes (Cognició, Desenvolupament i Psicologia de l'Educació)reponame:Recercat.
