The current study aimed to investigate the canonical correlation between personality traits and social well-being among university students. This research is descriptive-correlational and uses canonical correlation analysis. The statistical population consisted of undergraduate students in one of the higher education institutions in Mashhad. A sample of 200 students was selected using convenience sampling and completed the online questionnaires. Data were collected using the Ten-Item Personality Inventory (TIPI) and the Social Well-being Scale-short form (SWS-SF). Pearson's correlation coefficient and canonical correlation were used for data analysis. The results showed that the correlation between personality traits and social well-being was r= 0.67. The squared correlation was R2=0.45 and showed that knowing the personality traits could predict 45% of the changes in social well-being. The results of this study confirm the fact that social well-being is influenced by personality traits; therefore, to interpret the perception of social well-being it is necessary to pay attention to people's personality traits.
