This study was an investigation of the relationship between long-term physical activity and subjective well-being in adults. The researcher compared the subjective well-being of regular versus non-regular adult exercisers through a basic between-subjects causal-comparative design, where consenting participants were asked to complete three questionnaires. Subjective well-being is conceptualized in terms of the two dependent variables "Life Satisfaction" and "Hedonic Balance." Life satisfaction was assessed with the Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS) and hedonic balance was assessed with the Positive and Negative Affect Schedules (PANAS). Conceptualized as such, subjective well-being has been determined to correlate empirically with a number of personality and demographic variables, including extraversion, neuroticism, age, social class, education, gender, marital status, socioeconomic status, and stressful life events. Among these variables, however, extraversion and neuroticism are the two which account for the most variance in subjective well-being scores. To account for the confounding effects of extraversion and neuroticism, these variables were assessed using the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire Revised- Short form (EPQR-S) and were statistically controlled for through Multivariate Analyses of Covariance (MANCOVA). The participants were adult males and females recruited from several gymnasium facilities on U.S. military instillations in greater Tokyo, Japan, and included uniformed and civilian Department of Defense employees and their spouses. The researcher posed the question: What is the difference, if any, in average subjective well-being between regular exercisers and non-regular exercisers, after controlling for the confounding effects of extraversion and neuroticism? The results indicated that on the average, there is a statistically significant correlation between regular long-term exercise and subjective well-being in the target population. Implications for clinical and educational uses include designing and maintaining a moderate exercise regimen that can be regularly incorporated in the clients' daily lives and help protect them against the adverse effects of stress and anxiety.
