Are dimensions of psycho-social well-being different among Latvian and Romanian University students?

摘要

This study focuses on structure of undergraduate students’ psychosocial well-being across two culturally different educational contexts (specifically, Latvian and Romanian universities) and is based on well-being's models of Diener (1984), Seligman (2002), Ryff (2006) and Keyes (1998). Participants in the study were 130 Latvian students and 449 Romanian students. The results of the research contribute to the development of a university student psychosocial well-being profile, cross-culturally valid, that could highlight the areas in which the teachers and supervisors can make improvements in order to promote the well-being in academic environment.
