Indecisiveness and psychological well being among young adults

Abstract

Young adults are often faced with the sudden responsibility to take up a number of decisions suddenly. The overload of so much options and information in today's day and age can cause indecisiveness and affect the psychological well being among young adults. This study attempts to study the effect of indecisiveness on the psychological well being in a sample of young adults (N=74) within the age group of 18 to 24. The questionnaire from indecisiveness scale developed by Randy o Frost and Deanna L Shows(1993) and the psychological well being scale (Ryff & Keyes,1995) was used to collect data from the sample population using convenience sampling technique and was analyzed using a correlational method. The findings indicated that there is a significant relationship between indecisiveness and psychological well being. Thus it can be concluded indecisiveness has an impact on psychological wellbeing in young adults.
