Relationships Between University Students' Psychological Well-Being, Self-Regulation and Depression Levels

Abstract

The university period is a stage that includes adolescence and young adulthood that have to overcome that student face many problems. Considering that the failure to solve the problems first results in depression and then suicide, it is clear that they should be supported. This study aims to determine the effect of psychological well-being and self-regulation, which is thought to strengthen students in reducing depression. Reaching 319 students, they were filled with Psychological Well-Being, Self-Regulation scales and Beck Depression Inventory-II. The participants’ psychological well-being and self-regulation scores were relatively high and their depression scores were low. Psychological well-being, self-regulation and depression scores do not differ according to sociodemographic variables and sociodemographic variables do not predict these scores A moderate positive correlation exists between psychological well-being and self-regulation, while a moderate negative correlation exists between these two and depression. In the regression analysis, when sociodemographic variables are kept under control, 13% of psychological well-being is predicted by depression and 8.5% by self-regulation. Considering that depression in adolescence causes serious negative consequences, it is very important to determine the factors that reduce it. Knowing the effectiveness of self-regulation skills and the psychological well-being of those involved in preventive interventions for depression will contribute to the solution.
