Abstract: Abstract The present study aimed to examine whether the Big Five personality traits, self-compassion, and religiosity moderate the relationship between negative affect and life satisfaction. A large longitudinal data set collected annually over 6 years was used. The results of Bayesian multilevel analysis showed that only neuroticism and openness moderated the relationship between negative affect and life satisfaction. At higher levels of neuroticism and openness, the negative relationship between negative affect and life satisfaction was stronger. These two personality traits are associated with the use of maladaptive emotion regulation strategies, which may explain why they exacerbate the effects of negative hedonic experiences.
