Summary/Abstract: This paper presents the results of two psychological research studies. The first, called "What Makes You Feel Good and How Do You Achieve It?," was conducted with a total of 823 participants. The second, called "Which Are Your Strengths and Weaknesses?," was conducted with a total of 983 subjects. We used several short questionnaires to gather self-reports about four "dark" traits, five adaptive and five dysfunctional traits, and measures of authenticity and well-being. Мathematical indices of systematic noise and impairment of the benefit of personal self-report are derived from the indices obtained with two short versions of a socially desirable responding questionnaire. More likely correlations and interaction parameters across the two sets of indices were explored using network analysis, and variation across more detailed examples of gender specificity affecting the relationships between dysfunctional personality traits and self-esteem devaluation, systemic noise, adaptive personality traits, well-being, and additional control indices of striving for authenticity – self-alienation and acceptance of external influence were examined according to their degree of betweenness, closeness, and expected influence.
