The theoretical section introduces the mentioned concepts: attachment, personality from the Big Five perspective, and subjective well-being. In this section, the relationships between the variables under study are further described. The research section presents a replication study that extends the original research of Kwon and Choi (2022) by adding additional hypotheses that relate to the interaction of attachment and neuroticism.
