Adherence to a Wellness Model and Perceptions of Psychological Well‐Being

Abstract

This study investigated the relationship between college students' perceived psychological well‐being and the quality of their lives on 5 variables associated with a 5‐factor holistic wellness model. The Wellness Evaluation of Lifestyle (Witmer, Sweeney, & Myers, 1993) and Memorial University of Newfoundland Scale of Happiness (Kozma & Stones, 1994) were completed by 155 undergraduate college students. Multivariate regression analysis revealed a significant relationship between 5 dimensions of wellness and both short‐term state and long‐term trait constructs of psychological well‐being. Subsequent univariate analysis found that students' ability to self‐regulate, identity with work, and friendships contributed the most to their psychological well‐being. Implications for college counseling centers and student development professionals are presented.
