This study explores the relationship between cultural values and psychological well-being among college students in Bhagalpur, India. A sample of 400 students was divided into two groups based on their cultural value orientation: those with high cultural values and those with low cultural values. The research aims to understand how cultural factors such as family ties, community involvement, and religious practices impact the emotional and psychological well-being of students. A t-test was conducted to analyze the differences in psychological well-being between the two groups. The results indicated a statistically significant difference, with students holding high cultural values reporting better psychological well-being (Mean = 72.3, SD = 10.2) compared to those with low cultural values (Mean = 65.8, SD = 12.1), with a t-value of 4.52 and a p-value of 0.0001. This suggests that cultural values significantly contribute to the mental health of young individuals. These findings align with previous research in India, which has highlighted the positive role of cultural and familial factors in promoting mental health. The study emphasizes the need for culturally sensitive mental health interventions that acknowledge the importance of cultural values in enhancing psychological well-being among students.
