Context, pls - - an apparent "buzzword adjective string"


Explanation:
Greetings to all.

The following is an observation, rather than an objection.

Some context or clarifictaion would be very helpful, because the source text, as shown, is an "adjective string" rendered in "American social science-speak" English (many American academics seem addicted to that style of expression).

The complete expression is open to ambiguous definition and variation in its translation as an accurate rendition in the Arabic.

The end-word in that string [ "satisfaction" ] is effectively floating around, and that noun could refer or apply to both of the preceding elements of the string or to only the second element, as follows:

Original: personality styles and life domains satisfaction

Maybe 1. satisfaction of personality styles and (of) life domains

Maybe 2. personality styles and satisfaction of life domains

Some context would provide considerable help to resolve and correct this example of fuzzy writing, which can often result in fuzzy, if not confounding, translation.

Khair al-kalam qull wa dull.

HTH.
