Role of Hardiness and Social Support in Psychological Well-Being Among University Students

Abstract

This study explores the role of hardiness and social support in psychological well-being among university students. The sample consists of 208 university students who participated in an online survey. The result shows that social support and hardiness have a significant and positive correlation with all the dimensions of psychological well-being. Moreover, social support and hardiness were significant predictors of psychological well-being. This study suggests that apart from the academic curriculum, there is an absolute need to impart and develop social skills and hardiness traits among students, which could be beneficial for strengthening the psychological well-being of university students.
