Abstract.PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING, SELF-CONCEPT AND COUPLE RELATIONS IN UNIVERSITY STUDENTSFor the purpose of responding to one of the objectives in higher education, that is, encourage a quality process of teaching and learning, it is necessary to consider the factors that may facilitate and hinder this process. In this sense, psychological well-being of university students, their self-concept and certain behaviors and attitudes of violence in couple relations are factors to be taken into account. The aim of this paper is to analyze the relationship among these factors. In addition, to determine if differences exist in the factors identified by gender and cultural group (European vs Amazigh). For it, 100 university students in the Faculty of Education and Humanities of the University of Granada in the University Campus of Melilla participated. The Psychological Well-Being Scale (PWBS), the Test of Self-Concept Form 5 (AF-5), and the Dating Violence Questionnaire (DVQ) were the instruments used for the data collection. The main results showed statistically significant differences by gender in the Degree of distress experienced by the presence of violent behaviors and attitudes in couple relations, the Academic/Professional Self-Concept and Emotional Self-Concept. In the first two cases were women who scored higher while men scored higher in the latter case. Regarding cultural group, the Amazigh students expressed a lower score on the Couple Relations Scale of PWBS. In addition, different types of correlations, positive and negative, between the subscales of the three instruments used were found. Finally, the need to address the elements analyzed in the university context is discussed.Keywords: psychological well-being, self-concept, couple relations, university students, gender, cultural groupResumen.Para dar respuesta a uno de los objetivos planteados en la educación superior, esto es, favorecer un proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje de calidad, es necesario atender a los factores que pueden facilitar y obstaculizar dicho proceso. En esta dirección, el bienestar psicológico del alumnado universitario, su autoconcepto así como determinadas conductas y actitudes de violencia en las relaciones de pareja son elementos a tener en cuenta. El objetivo principal de este trabajo es analizar la relación entre dichos factores. Además, se pretende determinar si existen diferencias en los factores señalados en función del género y el grupo cultural de pertenencia (europeo vs amazight). Para ello, participaron 100 estudiantes universitarios de la Facultad de Educación y Humanidades de la universidad de Granada en el Campus Universitario de Melilla. Los instrumentos de recogida de información que se emplearon fueron la Escala de Bienestar Psicológico (EBP), el Cuestionario de Autoconcepto Forma 5 (AF-5) y el Cuestionario de Violencia de Novios (CUVINO). Los principales resultados mostraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas en función del género en el Grado de malestar experimentado ante la presencia de conductas y actitudes violentas en las relaciones de pareja, el Autoconcepto Académico/Profesional y el Autoconcepto Emocional. En los dos primeros casos fueron las mujeres las que puntuaron más alto y, en el último, los hombres. Respecto al grupo cultural, los estudiantes amazight manifestaron una menor puntuación en la Escala de Relaciones con la pareja del EBP. Además, se hallaron diferente tipo de correlaciones, positivas y negativas, entre las subescalas de los tres instrumentos empleados. Por último, se discute la necesidad de atender a los elementos analizados en el contexto universitario.Palabras clave: bienestar psicológico, autoconcepto, relación de pareja, estudiantes universitarios, género, grupo cultural

The aim of this research is to examine the relationship between exercise and general self-efficacy, depression, and psychological well-being of college students. Five hundred and twenty-two university students (nmale= 273; Xage= 23.33±4.36 and nfemale= 279; Xage=25.91±7.11) have participated in this research. The General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Physical Activity Stages of Change Questionnaire (PASCQ), and “Psychological Well-Being Scale (PWBS) have been applied to the sample group in this study. While differences in participants’ self-efficacy, depression, and psychological well-being levels with regard to the stage of changes in exercise are calculated with one way analysis of variance (ANOVA), the relationship between these ideas discussed in the research have been determined with Pearson Moments Product Correlation Analysis. According to the stages of exercise behavior, significant disparities have been found between participants’ level of self-efficacy, depression, and psychological well-being, and the relationship between those notions has been observed. According to the results, the participants’ general self-efficacy and psychological well-being levels were high and the depression levels were low when on advanced levels of exercise. In light of the findings obtained from this research, it has been concluded that continuity in exercise has a positive effect on psychological effects like general self-efficacy, depression and psychological well-being.

This study examined the role of self-confidence and cognitive flexibility in psychological well-being. The study looked into whether cognitive flexibility mediates the relationship between self-confidence and psychological well-being. The study involved the participation of 284 university students (192 female and 92 male) enrolled in the Faculty of Education at a private university in Istanbul, Turkey. Data was collected via the Self- Confidence Scale, Flourishing Scale and Cognitive Flexibility Scale. The results of our multiple regression analysis revealed that self-confidence and cognitive flexibility statistically predict psychological well-being. Self-confidence and cognitive flexibility were found to explain 38% of the variance in psychological well-being. Furthermore, cognitive flexibility served as a mediator in the relationship between self-confidence and psychological well-being.

The university stage comprises a very important and vital period in the modification of students’ lifestyles, and these changes can affect their self-concept. The excessive use of technology today can also influence the formation of their identity. The aim of this study is to analyze the relationship between self-concept and the use of the smartphone by university students in terms of gender. The sample included 253 students (mean age 21.39 ± 3.27) of the Primary Education Degree of the University of Jaén (106 men and 147 women). A questionnaire was used to unify several instruments: a sociodemographic questionnaire, a Self-Concept Form-5 questionnaire (AF-5), and a questionnaire on cell phone-related experiences (CERM). The results show the existence of significant differences between both genders in the academic, emotional, and social dimensions of self-concept, with women showing a greater academic self-concept and men showing an emotional and physical one. Regarding the use of the smartphone in relation to self-concept, significant differences are found in the academic and emotional dimensions depending on the degree of use. In addition, in relation to the use of the smartphone, it has been detected that half of the students present potential problems. It is concluded that there is a relationship between both constructs, especially the academic and emotional self-concept.

The main purpose of this was to investigate the role of social problem solving as a mediator or a moderator of percieved stress and psychological well-being in university students. The participants of this study consisted of 350  females and 164 males, a total of 514 university students. Their ages ranged from 18 to 25 years. Data were collected by using the Percieved Stres Inventory (Cohen, Kamarck, & Mermelstein, 1983), Social Problem Solving Inventory Revised Short Form (D’Zurilla, Nezu, & Maydeu-Olivares, 2002) and Scales of Psychological Well-Being (Ryff, 1989). The results indicated that the percieved stress was negatively correlated with the social problem and the psychological well-being. The social problem solving was positively correlated with the psychological well-being. Hierarchial regression analysis showed that social problem solving partially mediated the relationship between perceived stress and psychological well-being. However, social problem solving did not moderate the relationship between perceived stress and psychological well-being. These findings were discussed in the light of related literature and implications were suggested for future research. ÖzetBu çalışmanın temel amacı üniversite öğrencilerinin algıladıkları stres düzeyleri ile psikolojik iyi olma düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkide sosyal problem çözme becerilerinin aracı ve düzenleyici rolünün incelenmesidir. Araştırma 350’si kadın 164’ü erkek toplam 514 üniversite öğrencisi üzerinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmaya katılan öğrenciler 18-25 yaş arasında olup, yaş ortalamaları 20.09’dur (Ss=2.02). Araştırmada veri toplamak amacıyla Algılanan Stres Ölçeği (Cohen, Kamarck ve Mermelstein, 1983), Sosyal Problem Çözme Envanteri Kısa Formu (D’Zurilla, Nezu ve Maydeu-Olivares, 2002) ve Psikolojik İyi Olma Ölçekleri (Ryff, 1989) kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda algılanan stres ile sosyal problem çözme ve psikolojik iyi olma arasında negatif yönde anlamlı, sosyal problem çözme ve psikolojik iyi olma arasında pozitif yönde anlamlı ilişkiler olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Hiyerarşik regresyon analizleri sonucunda sosyal problem çözmenin, algılanan stres ve psikolojik iyi olma arasındaki ilişkide kısmi aracı role sahip iken, düzenleyici bir rolü olmadığı belirlenmiştir. Elde edilen bulgular ilgili alanyazın ve sınırlılıklar ışığında tartışılmış, daha sonra yapılacak çalışmalara ve uygulayıcılara yönelik öneriler sunulmuştur.
