Title

Wellbeing and the gender differences among young adults

Abstract

Background: Well-being embraces the existence of positive emotions and moods (e.g., contentment, happiness), the absence of negative emotions (e.g., depression, anxiety), satisfaction with life, fulfilment and positive functioning. "Hedonic wellbeing" is the term used to refer to the subjective feelings of happiness and this equates wellbeing with happiness and pleasure (Ryan and Deci,2001). The stage of young adulthood is characterized by cognitive and emotional changes and so an understanding of their levels of well-being can provide an outline for designing more effective interventions to cushion the components of wellness. Objective: The main objective of this study is to know the levels of wellbeing among young adults aged 18 to 24 and also to find the gender differences in wellbeing. Methodology: A total of 401 young adults were selected from different colleges of Visakhapatnam city of Andhra Pradesh through random sampling and were administered the test of WHO- 5 wellbeing scale to know their wellbeing levels. Results: Results show that 48.4 percent of the college students reflected poor levels of wellbeing and 51.6% of students reflected good levels of wellbeing and there was a significant difference in the wellbeing scores for male (M=15.04, SD=5.374) and female (M=12.11, SD=5.667) groups; t (399) = 5.304, p<0.01. Conclusion: Considerable proportion of young adults are having poor levels of wellbeing and females have scored significantly less in wellbeing scores in comparison to males. This is definitely a matter of concern and this stresses the need for effective interventions to be designed and implemented to improve the wellbeing of young adults alongside professional help.
