This study explored how personality and serious leisure activities, such as playing pickleball, contribute to eudaimonic well-being in middle-aged and older adults. Data were collected at pickleball events at the 2017 Huntsman World Senior Games from a convenience sample of 250 players aged between 50 and 91 years (M = 65.11, SD = 7.49). Of the five personality dispositions examined, conscientiousness (β = 0.32, p < .001), neuroticism (β = -0.22, p < .01), and openness to experience (β = 0.18, p < .01) were discovered to be significant predictors of eudaimonic well-being. Serious leisure also contributed to eudaimonic well-being (β = 0.28, p < .01). The findings of this study enhance the understanding of the behaviors exhibited by older adults and elucidate the positive impact exerted on eudaimonic well-being by personality and serious leisure.
这项研究探讨了人格特质和严肃的休闲活动（如打壁球）如何促进中年和老年人的幸福。数据来自 2017 年亨茨曼世界老年运动会壁球赛事，从 250 名 50 至 91 岁的参与者中进行了便利抽样（M = 65.11，SD = 7.49）。在研究的五个人格特质中，责任心（β = 0.32，p <.001）、神经质（β = -0.22，p <.01）和经验开放性（β = 0.18，p <.01）被发现是幸福的显著预测因素。严肃的休闲活动也对幸福产生了贡献（β = 0.28，p <.01）。这项研究的结果增强了对老年人行为的理解，并阐明了人格和严肃的休闲活动对幸福的积极影响。
