The Role of Psychological Resources in Well-Being: A Reply.

Lightsey, Owen Richard, Jr.

Counseling Psychologist, v25 n4 p699-705 Oct 1997

Responds to a critique of a previous article describing the role of psychological resources in well-being. Focuses on the malleability of partly hereditary traits, evidence for the self-generation of stressful life events, and future research. Concludes that partly hereditary but modifiable personality traits influence both behavior and life events. (RJM)
