ABSTRACT
The present study aimed to find the differences in subjective well-being (SWB), using PERMA profiler, between Indian and Japanese university students. Indian students (n = 361; 193 males and 168 females) and Japanese students (n = 390; 172 males and 218 females) participated in a well-being questionnaire survey. The results indicated that there are significant differences between Indian and Japanese students, with Indian students scoring higher in Positive Emotion, Meaning, and Accomplishment and Japanese students scoring higher in Engagement. No significant differences were observed for Relationships. We found that gender of students within a country has no effect on any of the factors of the PERMA. The findings are discussed in relation to cross-cultural studies.
