Correlational design was used. Participants completed Psychological Well-Being Scale (Ryff, 2008); and NEO-FFI (McCrae & Costa, 1992); and Type A/B Behavioral Pattern Scale (Dhar & Jain, 1983). The results of the study revealed that psychological well-being of psychiatrist significantly positively correlates with extraversion, openness to experience and conscientiousness.
