Self-Verification and Well-Being of University Students

Research aims to contribute educational psychology in the light of understanding students’ self-evaluations and well-being needs. In our sample, 60 university students mentioned that they don’t want to be self-verified in interpersonal relations for their neither positive nor negative personal aspects. Instead, they emphasized that they want to be self-enhanced in interpersonal relations for their negative personal characteristics. The reasons might be questioning about validity of the information or the risk of rejection for friendship or any other cause meaningful for them that can be studied in further research. Logistic regression models show that there are significant attributes and aspects of well-being that explain effecting self; self-verification and enhancement. Also, they evaluated themselves high in well-being especially on self and life love and satisfaction. They didn’t point out about energy and/or motivation and pleasure aspects of well-being that might be barrier for euidomonic and hedomonic well-being. The results are discussed related with the literature.
