Abstract

Today’s youth are the shapers and leaders of our global future and are often seen as healthiest cohort. But, their distressing state such as anxiety, depression, self harm, and disobedience shows that youth of today is not healthy psychologically. They undergo severe psychological distress due to many factors such as their own and family expectations, pressure for achieving success and excellence in walk of life and many others. The present investigation was planned to study predictors of psychological quality of life and wellbeing among youth populations. The sample for the study consisted of 754 youth within the age range of 16-29 years. They were assessed with World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL BREF) and World Health Organisation Spiritual, Religious, Personal Beliefs (WHOQOL - SRPB) Field Test Instrument. Data were processed by correlation and regression analysis. The results revealed that psychological quality of life and wellbeing is positively associated with spiritual, religious and personal beliefs among youth. Stepwise regression analysis identified eight predictors of psychological quality of life and wellbeing i.e. spiritual connection, meaning and purpose in life, wholeness and integration, spiritual strength, inner peace, hope and optimism, and faith.
