“...Hedonism (i.e., excessive pleasure-seeking) was best predicted by their personality traits (i.e., being less. agreeable, less conscientious, and more neurotic) rather than by their conceptions of right and wrong.”(p. 68) It is said that a hedonist seeks every chance she can to have fun and that it is important to her to do things that give her pleasure. Moreover, it is also stated that a hedonistic person also enjoys life’s pleasures which are very important to her and she likes to “spoil” herself.
