ABSTRACT

In contemporary society, the pursuit of psychological well-being has garnered considerable attention, particularly among young adults aged between 19 to 35. Amidst the challenges and opportunities characteristic of this life stage, the role of optimism emerges as a potential determinant of psychological well-being. This demographic, marked by transitions in education, career, and relationships, often grapples with questions of purpose, meaning, and optimism for the future. The objective of this study was to check whether there is a correlation between optimism and psychological well-being among young adults of 19 to 35 years of age. Revised- life orientation scale given by Scheier, Carver and Bridges (1994) and Psychological Well-being Scale (18 items) given by Ryff (2007) are used to measure optimism and psychological well-being respectively. The total sample size was N = 106. Google form were sent to collect the data. JASP software is used to analyse the data.
