Abstract

Background: Although the interest in subjective well-being has flourished during recent decades, there is a general lack of research into this subject throughout the Arab world, and in the Jordanian academic environment in particular.

Objective: The present study aimed to identify any significant gender differences in the level of subjective well-being, and to examine the relationship between subjective well-being and social support among a sample of Hashemite University students.

Design: The study sample comprised 679 male and female undergraduate students from the Hashemite University chosen by purposive method. The College Student Subjective Well-being Questionnaire and Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support were used to collect the data.

Results: The results showed no significant differences in the level of subjective well-being due to the gender variable, but indicated significant differences between genders in satisfaction with academics and school connectedness. The results also showed a positive relationship between subjective well-being and social support.

Conclusion: The current study contributes to enriching the theoretical literature related to gender differences in the level of subjective well-being of Jordanian university students and to examining the relationship between subjective well-being and social support.

约旦大学生主观幸福感与社会支持的关系

背景:虽然对主观幸福感的兴趣在近几十年来蓬勃发展，但在整个阿拉伯世界，特别是约旦的学术环境中，普遍缺乏对这一主题的研究。目的:本研究旨在确定哈希姆大学学生主观幸福感水平的显著性别差异，并探讨主观幸福感与社会支持之间的关系。设计:采用目的法选取哈希姆大学在校男女本科生679人作为研究样本。采用《大学生主观幸福感问卷》和《大学生感知社会支持多维度量表》收集数据。结果:主观幸福感水平在性别变量上无显著差异，但在学业满意度和学校联系满意度上存在显著性别差异。结果还显示主观幸福感与社会支持之间存在正相关关系。结论:本研究丰富了约旦大学生主观幸福感水平性别差异的相关理论文献，探讨了主观幸福感与社会支持的关系。
