The aim of the current study was aimed to assess the association between perceived stress, poor sleep quality, and mental well-being. It was hypothesized that there would be an association between perceived stress, poor sleep quality and mental well-being in young adults. A secondary hypothesis was sleep quality would be a moderator between perceived stress and mental well-being among young adults. A sample of 488 young adults including men (n= 244) and women (n=244) ranging in age from 19 to 25 years (M = 20.38 and SD = 1.76) was taken from different private and government sector universities. Convenience sampling strategy was used to approach participants and collect data. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (Buysse, 1989), Perceived Stress Scale (Cohen , 1983) and Warwich Edinburgh Mental Well Being Scale (Warwich and Edinburgh, 2008) were used to access the perceived stress, poor sleep quality and mental well-being. Pearson product moment correlation and moderation analysis through AMOS were used to test hypotheses. For additional findings independent samples t-test were applied. The findings of the study revealed that perceived was found to have a positive association with poor sleep quality and negative association with mental well-being. Additional findings revealed that there were significant differences in perceived stress, poor sleep quality and mental well being in young adults related to the family system, gender and universities. The present study had implication in clinical and counseling psychology
SELFITIS BEHAVIOR, PERFECTIONISTIC SELF-PRESENTATION AND MENTAL WELL-BEING IN FEMALE UNIVERSITY STUDENTS
(Library Information Services, COMSATS University Islamabad, Lahore Campus, 2023) MALAIKA NAZAR; FA19-BPY-034; DR. SHAMEEM FATIMA; LHR TP 8386
The present study is aimed at assessing the association between the selfitis behavior, perfectionistic self-presentation and mental well-being in female university students. Correlational research design was used to determine the relationship between variables. A sample that comprised of 295 participants was selected through convenient sampling technique ranging in age from 18-29 year (M age=20.90, SD=1.58). These participants were selected from Lahore, Pakistan's government and private educational institute. Self-report measures include the demographic questionnaire, three measures, selfitis behaviour scale to assess the selfitis behavior, perfectionistic self-presentation Scale to assess perfectionistic self-presentation, and Warwick mental well-being scale to assess mental well-being. Pearson product moment correlation was used for accessing the association between selfitis behavior, perfectionistic self-presentation, and mental well-being. The study findings showed that selfitis behavior had a positive association with perfectionistic self-presentation. But there is no association is found out in mental well-being. How these factors identify with one another and impact student’s general social, emotional and psychological development which should be considered by the researcher show great implication of this study. Furthermore, this research helps to elevate the awareness regarding the association between selfitis behavior, perfectionistic selfpresentation and mental well-being of Pakistani youth. There are some limitations as this research was only carried out in the students of undergraduate programs, it will be very useful to carry out parallel research for students of post graduate programs or students at schools/colleges to study diversity among students with respect to selfitis behavior, perfectionistic self-presentation and mental wellbeing.
