The purpose of this research is to investigate the association between social appearance anxiety levels and the influence of different personality traits on life happiness. The study's sample consists of 488 university students registered in the Faculty of Sports Sciences at Bingol University, 221 (45.3%) of whom are female and 267 (54.7%) of whom are male. The Five Factor Personality Scale, Social Appearance Anxiety Scale, and Life Satisfaction Scale were used to gather data. The data was rigorously analyzed using the SPSS 26 program, as well as numerous statistical approaches and data analysis tools. The research findings indicate that the sub-dimensions of extraversion (β = -.111), agreeableness (β = -.159), self-control (β = .114), neuroticism (β = -.098), and openness to experience (β = -.324) appear to predict social appearance anxiety. Furthermore, the sub-dimensions of personality characteristics, extraversion (β = .149) and neuroticism (β = -.129), predict life satisfaction considerably. As a consequence, these findings show that personality characteristics have a major impact on people's social appearance, anxiety levels, and life happiness. Notably, subpersonality traits like extraversion and neuroticism play a decisive role in these effects.
