Abstract

This study examines the relationship between commitment strength and well-being, and the possible moderating effect of exploration in breadth. Prior research has shown that commitment strength is a strong predictor of well-being, and that exploration in breadth is of importance too. To test this possible moderation effect, we collected data of 90 first-year psychology students. They filled in a survey with multiple questions dedicated to these variables. As expected, a strong positive relationship between commitment strength and well-being was found. However, this relationship was not moderated by exploration in breadth. Meaning that exploration in breadth doesn’t have an influence on interaction between commitment strength and well-being. This implies that both commitment strength and exploration in breadth do contribute to a better well-being individually, rather than interactively.
