| description | This study is aimed to examine how the variables of non-attachment, conscientiousness and satisfaction with life influence one another. The sample consist of only 92 valid participants, all of them are undergraduates from Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman. The sample consisted mostly Chinese ethnicity which are 83 out of 92 valid responses. The three instrument we used for this study was Non-attachment Scale (NAS), Big-Five Inventory – Conscientiousness (BFI-C) Scale and Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS). This study used Pearson’s Correlation to find out the correlation between these three variables. The report found that the relationship between satisfaction with life and conscientiousness are significant and positively correlated (r=0.546, p<.001). This also applies to the relationship between satisfaction with life and conscientiousness as they are also significant and positively correlated (r=0.225, p=.031). The only hypothesis that was not supported was the relationship between Conscientiousness and Non-attachment as their Pearson’s correlation results are not significant (r=0.096, p=.363). The conclusion is that there are certain degree of correlation between these three variables except Conscientiousness and Non-attachment. |
