A Study on Psychological Well-being among University Students

Positive emotions, life satisfaction, a sense of purpose, and a high degree of self-esteem are traits of psychological well-being. It entails having the capacity to control tension, adjust to change, build and preserve good relationships, and pursue self-acceptance and personal development. A structured questionnaire was used to collect primary data from a sample of 120, which included 60 males and 60 females, 40 hostel dwellers, and 80-day scholars. The data was acquired using the Psychological Well-being Scale created by Carol Ryff. A “t” test was used in the statistical analysis. The results indicate that there are no differences in the psychological health of males and females. Moreover, no statistically significant differences were found in the factors affecting psychological well-being between male and female students. Furthermore, there are no significant differences between day scholars and hostel dwellers in terms of psychological well-being. Finally, there were no significant differences found in the categories related to psychological well-being between day scholars and hostel dwellers.
