Abstract
The present research investigated the mediating role of cherophobia in the relationship between personality traits (openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism) and life satisfaction, as well as the moderating role of superstitious beliefs in the relationship between personality traits and cherophobia in young adults. The sample of 250 young adults (126 = men, 124 = women) was taken from different organizations of Lahore, Pakistan. Correlational research design was used. For assessment, The Mini-IPIP Scale, Riverside Life Satisfaction Scale, Fear of Happiness Scale, A Scale to Measure Superstition were used. Results showed that conscientiousness has significant negative relationship with cherophobia, and superstitious beliefs. Extraversion has significant positive relationship with life satisfaction, and superstitious beliefs. Neuroticism was found to have significant negative relationship with life satisfaction, while significant positive relationship with cherophobia and superstitious beliefs. Life satisfaction has significant negative relationship with cherophobia and superstitious beliefs. Cherophobia has significant positive relationship with superstitious beliefs.
