Present research is focusing on highlighting the differences between genders concerning quality of life and well-being status on undergraduate students at psychology. Participants are students ages between 19 and 22 (M=20.13; S.D.=1.038). The instruments used were: Ryff's Psychological Well-Being Scales (PWB) with 42 items distributed as Autonomy, Control, Personal Development, Positive relationships, Meaning of life, Self-acceptance and Quality of Life Scale (Flanagan, 1982). The results confirmed the gender differences hypotheses regarding the variables: Control, Personal Growth, Positive relationships, Selfacceptance and Quality of Life Scale.

This research tested the association between the HEXACO personality model and risky driving behavior as well as the predictive power of the HEXACO model in explaining risky driving behavior compared with the Big Five model. In Sample 1, 227 undergraduate students completed measures of the HEXACO personality model, the Big Five model, and driving aggression. In Sample 2, 244 community respondents completed measures of the HEXACO personality model, the Big Five model, and driving styles. Results showed that the Honesty-Humility factor is an important addition to personality models that aim to explain risky driving behavior as being related to all forms of driving aggression as well as to maladaptive and adaptive driving styles and having incremental validity in predicting verbally aggressive expression, risky driving, high-velocity driving, and careful driving. Moreover, compared with the Big Five model, the HEXACO model had better predictive power of aggressive driving.
