The present study examined the relationship between savouring, extraversion, and positive affect. Participants (N = 179) completed an online survey to assess their propensity towards the Big Five personality dimensions, their attitudes and beliefs towards savouring, and their positive affect. It was hypothesized that extraversion and savouring ability would be positively correlated with positive affect and that savouring would moderate the relationship between extraversion and positive affect and moderate the relationship between introversion and positive affect. Pearson correlation analyses and a moderated multiple regression were used to assess these relationships. There were statistically significant, positive correlations between extraversion, savouring, and positive affect as well as between savouring and positive affect. However, there was not a statistically significant moderator effect of savouring for both extraversion and introversion.
