Abstract

The aim of this research is to study the levels of psychological well-being and life satisfaction of both international and Turkey-citizen students at Celal Bayar University. Psychological well-being and life satisfaction variables were taken into consideration for the purpose of evaluating the general psychological adjustment of the students. This study covers first-year students enrolled in various faculties at Celal Bayar, including both international students (95 female, 135 male) and host-country students (102 female, 100 male). Descriptive statistical analysis and independent group tests were used for analysis in the study. The level of well-being and life satisfaction among Turkish students was found to be different from the level among international students
