ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study was to study the effect of self-acceptance on quality of life and depression in two generations- Millennials and Gen-Z. The two assumptions were that there would be significant difference in self-acceptance levels between Millennials and Gen-Z and that higher levels of self-acceptance would be associated with better quality of life and low levels of depression. The sample was Millennials (28-38 years) and Gen-Z (17-27 years), drawn through snowball and convenience sampling. This study included 160 individuals. Applying Pearson’s correlation, the results indicated moderate positive correlation exists between quality of life and self-acceptance suggesting that individuals who have a higher quality of life also tend to have higher self-acceptance. Moderate to strong negative correlations between quality of life and depressive symptoms, and between self-acceptance and depressive symptoms, suggest that individuals who have higher quality of life and self-acceptance tend to have lower depressive symptoms. Mann Whitney U-test revealed that there are no significant differences in depressive symptoms, quality of life, and self-acceptance between both generations. and the levels of these variables are similar across generations.
