The research method was descriptive in correlational type. The statistical population of the present study included the students at Islamic Azad University, Kerman branch in the autumn of 2021. The statistical sample included 400 students at Islamic Azad University, Kerman Branch who were selected through convenient sampling method. The applied questionnaires included Five Personality Factors Questionnaire (McCrae, and Costa, 1983) (FPFQ), Emotion Regulation Strategies Questionnaire (Garenifski, Kraaji and Spinhoven, 2002) (ERSQ), and Subjective Wellbeing Scale (SWBS) (Buttler and Kern, 2016). The data analysis was conducted through Pearson Correlation analysis. The results taken from data analysis showed that alexithymia, extraversion, openness, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and positive as well as negative emotion regulation have significant relationship with the students’ subjective wellbeing (p<0.01). Taking the significant relationship of alexithymia, extraversion, openness, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and positive as well as negative emotion regulation with the students’ subjective wellbeing, there should be enough attention to their personality aspects and also their emotion processing method to increase their subjective wellbeing in order to consequently improve their subjective wellbeing as a result of removing personality problems and modifying emotion regulation strategies.
