abstract = {Determining what factors influence the psychological well-being of undergraduate
university students may provide valuable information to inform the development of intervention
programs and targeted learning activities. The objective of this study was to investigate the correlation
between psychological well-being in university students and their self-reported learning styles and
methodologies, social skills, emotional intelligence, anxiety, empathy and self-concept. The final
sample consisted of 149 Spanish university students, with an average age of 21.59 years (SD = 4.64).
Psychological well-being dimensions, along with learning style and methodology preferences, social
skills, level of social responsibility, emotional intelligence, state and trait anxiety, empathy and levels
of self-concept were measured using a series of validated self-report scales. The results indicate that
the total variance explained by the university students’ psychological well-being factors were as
follows: i) self-acceptance dimension (R2 = 0.586, F(6,99) = 23.335, p < 0.001); ii) positive relationships
dimension (R2 = 0.520, F(6,99) = 17.874, p < 0.001); iii) autonomy dimension (R2 = 0.313, F(4,101) =
11.525, p < 0.001); iv) environmental mastery dimension (R2 = 0.489, F(4,101) = 24.139, p < 0.001);
v) personal growth dimension (R2 = 0.354, F(4,101) = 13.838, p < 0.001); and vi) purpose-in-life
dimension (R2 = 0.439, F(4,101) = 19.786, p < 0.001). The study findings may be used to inform new
educational policies and interventions aimed at improving the psychological well-being of university
students in the international context.},
