Psychological Well-Being in Students of a Public University of Lima, Peru
Abstract
The objective of this study was to determine the psychological well-being of students at a public university in Lima, Peru. This is a quantitative, non-experimental, descriptive and cross-sectional study. The sample consisted of 199 students; a probabilistic sampling was used. The Psychological Well-Being Scale for Young People questionnaire by Casullo (2000), whose reliability has been shown to be high (Cronbach’s alpha of 0.9), was applied. Among the results, of the total number of students, 51.76 % present an adequate psychological well-being and 48.24 % an inadequate one. Most of the students present an adequate psychological well-being globally, as well as particularly in the dimensions related to the establishment of bonds, having a life project and control of the environment; while they denote weakness in self-acceptance, in which dimension more than half of the students present an inadequate level, which shows that they are not satisfied with their body, their way of being and feel that they do not arouse sympathy.
