Abstract
Happiness is an essential element of life hope and quality enhancement in society. Therefore, paying attention to it from adolescence, which is a period of growth and identity formation, is of great importance. The aim of the present study was to model happiness in society based on personality traits (introversion-extraversion) with the mediation of social adaptation in adolescents. The research design was applied and the method was descriptive-correlational based on the structural equation model. The statistical population of the study consisted of all female high school students in the second cycle of high school, who were 352 people and were selected using a multi-stage cluster random sampling method. They responded to the Oxford Happiness Questionnaire (2002), the Eysenck Adolescent Personality Questionnaire (1975), and the Sinha and Singh Student Adaptation Questionnaire (1993). The results indicated a positive association between personality traits and happiness in adolescents. However, the study failed to find evidence for the mediating role of social adaptation between these two variables. In other words, it appears that personality traits directly influence happiness in adolescents, and social adaptation does not play an intermediary role in this relationship.
