With current drive of Positive Psychology, Psychological Well Being (PWB)
has been an imperative concept for research and practices since last two
decades. Several studies have been conducted to explore the antecedents of
PWB. Present study is also a line of effort in this direction. The study was
conducted to examine the role of traits (hope and Big five) in PWB among
students of professional courses. The data was collected by using The Trait
Hope Scale, Big Five Inventory-10 (BFI-10) and Scales of Psychological WellBeing. The results show that hope was significantly positively associated with
PWB. Neuroticism was significantly negatively associated with PWB whereas
agreeableness was significantly positively associated with PWB. Extraversion,
Openness and Conscientiousness, have not significant association with PWB
