In order to explore the influence of the degree of impression on the subjective well-being and truthfulness, the present situation paradigm was used to investigate the difference between the truthfulness and the sense of well-being of the introverted individuals with negative meta-stereotype in the neutral social context. According to the data from the self-designed questionnaire survey, introvert workers/university students were divided into two groups: the high negative group and the low negative group, and their subjective well-being and authenticity were measured by the corresponding version of the questionnaire. The results showed that introverted individuals with high negative meta-stereotype had lower subjective well-being and authenticity than those with low negative meta-stereotype in neutral social situations, and their identity and gender had no effect on subjective well-being and authenticity. Conclusion: The subjective well-being and authenticity of introverted individuals with more negative meta-stereotype are lower.
