Abstract
The aim of this study is to examine the levels of mental well-being in emerging adulthood in terms of grit and cognitive flexibility. In the study, it was determined whether mental well-being differed significantly in terms of gender, class, general average and perceived socio-economic level variables. It was also examined whether grit and cognitive flexibility predict mental well-being levels. A correlational survey model was used in the study. The data of the study were collected with "Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale", "Cognitive Flexibility Inventory", "Brief Grit Scale" and "Personal Information Form" developed by the researcher. In the analysis of the data, groups t-test and one-way analysis of variance were performed. Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient was calculated to determine the relationship between the variables. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to determine the extent to which the variables predicted mental well-being. According to the findings of the study, it was determined that there was a significant difference between the mental well-being levels of university students in emerging adulthood and their perceived socioeconomic levels. It was observed that there was a positive and moderately significant relationship between students' mental well-being levels and their levels of grit and cognitive flexibility. It was also found that grit and cognitive flexibility predicted mental well-being. It explains 33.5% of the total variance of grit and cognitive flexibility, which are predictor variables. Finally, the findings obtained in the study were discussed in line with the relevant literature and suggestions for both study and practice areas were presented.
