碩士 === 國立體育大學 === 體育研究所 === 101 === The purposes of this study were (1) to examine the Relationships of Exercise, Personality Traits and Subjective Well-Being in Elementary School Teachers; (2) to examine the prediction of exercise behaviors on subjective well-being; and (3) to examine the prediction of personality traits on subjective well-being. This study sampled 17 elementary school teachers with 250 participants. After preliminary screening, 237 participants were retained with 94.8% returning rate (Males=98,41.4%; Females=139,58.6%)with mean age of 37.86(SD=6.13). Participants completed Gordin Leisure Time Exercise Questionnaire, NEO- Personality Inventory, Satisfaction With Life Scale and Positive and Negative Affect Scales. With Pearson Correlation and Stepwise Regression, this study found following results: (1) exercise behavior positively correlated with consciousness but negatively correlated with neuroticism; (2) exercise behavior predicted subjective well-being; (3) exercise behaviors positively predicted consciousness but negatively predicted neuroticism; (4) exercise behavior predicted subjective well-being; (5) dominance positively predicted subjective well-being while neuroticism negatively predicted subjective well-being in terms of different gender. This study discussed its implications and applications accordingly and proposed future research suggestions.
