Level Of Optimism and Psychological Well-Being among Female Emerging Adults

Abstract

Today's emerging adults live in a globalized and networked world, set apart by high-end information transfer, increased risks, genuinely low social mobility, and more inequality- considering all this, knowledge is wealth. Young people are necessitated to become resilient and adaptable as it is a fast-paced world. However, several youths are struggling to seek out a way to employment, economic security, and well-being. The aim of the analysis is to study the Level of Optimism and Psychological well-being among female emerging adults. The Psychological wellbeing scale which is developed by Ryff (Ryff & Singer, 1989) and the Life Orientation Test-Revised which is developed by Scheier, Carver, and Bridges (1994) were used for the analysis. A total of 120 participants (females) between the age group of 18-25 were chosen for the study. One Way ANOVA was used for data analysis and the findings indicated that there is an influence of Optimism on Psychological well-being, and a difference was seen between the three levels of Optimism.
