Emotional Style and Student Subjective Well-Being: Towards A Conscious Future

Abstract

This study investigates the intricate relationship between emotional style and subjective well-being among students. Student subjective well-being is the overall mental, emotional, and social state in educational settings. It encompasses students’ feelings of happiness, satisfaction, and fulfillment. Understanding and promoting student subjective well-being is essential for creating conducive learning environments that foster holistic development. While emotional style refers to the unique way in which individuals express, experience, and regulate their emotions. It embraces a broad spectrum of characteristics that influence how people perceive and interact with their emotions in various situations. The sample for the present study consisted of 106 undergraduate students. The psychological tools used were ‘Students Subjective Well-being Questionnaire’ by Renshaw (2020) and ‘Emotional Style Questionnaire’ by Kesebir, et al. (2019). Regression analysis was applied to compute the data. The results indicate that there is a positive and high significant correlation between Outlook, Resilience, Social Intuition, Self-Awareness, Sensitivity to context, Attention and Student Subjective Well-being, respectively. Moreover, the dimensions had a significant contribution in the determination of Student subjective well-being (F = 9.807, p < 0.01). Each of these factors play a crucial role in shaping an individual’s overall well-being and can significantly impact their academic performance, mental health, and overall life satisfaction. Educators and policymakers should consider these factors when designing interventions and programs aimed at promoting student well-being towards their academic success.
