Abstract

This research examines the correlation between socio-economic factors specifically monthly family income, parental education, and occupation and psychological outcomes including stress, anxiety, depression, and sleep quality among a sample of 201 participants. The research used descriptive statistics, ANOVA, Tukey HSD post hoc testing, and multiple regression analysis, revealing no statistically significant variations in psychological well-being across income categories. Regression analysis revealed that socio-economic factors had little explanatory power, with only the mother’s employment substantially correlating with anxiety levels. Despite the observation of variances in mean scores across groups, these differences were not statistically significant. The results highlight the need of investigating further psychological and environmental factors beyond socio-economic position to enhance the comprehension of mental health outcomes.
