The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship of maladaptive personality traits and psychological adjustment, and the role of psychological flexibility in between. Analyzing data from 226 adults, first, maladaptive personality traits, negative affectivity, detachment and disinhibition, in order, showed significant correlations with psychological flexibility and psychological adjustment. Second, psychological flexibility mediated maladaptive personality traits and mental health problems. Third, though psychological flexibility failed to moderate the relationship between maladaptive personality traits and subjective well-being, however, we found that psychological flexibility had a significant moderating effect in the group that has shown a level of +1 standard deviation high maladaptive personality traits. This study implies that intervention using psychological flexibility would be effective as a treatment mechanism to alleviate mental health problems and can be developed as a resource for promoting subjective well-being for those with maladaptive personality traits. In addition, it is suggested that the severity level of the personality pathology dimension should also be considered in relation to psychological adjustment.
