Participants of this study were 30 senior citizens; 10 individuals lived with family, 10 individuals lived alone, and 10 individuals Jived in foster home. Data was collected through The Big Five Inventory Personality Test combined with Satisfaction with Life Scale and The Affect Balance Scale. Hypothesis was tested with product moment correlation and one way ANOV A. Results show that only extraversion has a significant correlation with SWB (p < 0.05), and there is not any significant difference on SWB senior citizen based upon where they live (p > 0.05). Extraversion profile contributes 16.2% on SWB. Other factors' contribution is discussed further.
