Educating Wellness: Developing towards a Mentally Healthier Society

This study aimed to investigate the mean difference in well-being of young adults, student population of India. This study also looked at the social support's partial mediating role between resilience and well-being (total effect=1.1674), in a sample of young adults in India (N = 202). The results have shown significant mean differences based on gender (0.024) and level of education (0.033). Through Pearson's R correlation, we found a positive relationship between resilience and well-being (0.402), well-being and social support (0.401) and social support and resilience (0.147). All three relations were significant at 0.05 level of significance. The results show that wellbeing is positively influenced by the level of education. Between the genders, females experience a higher effect and level of well-being, through education given similar circumstances. The study highlights the need for exploratory research regarding influence of education on well-being, along with the need for empirical research on the relationship between resilience, well-being, and perceived social support.
