Explanation of Psychological Well-Being Based on Positive Psychology Components

The present research aimed to investigate factors associated with psychological well-being. In doing so, 320 students (106 males and 214 females) were selected through cluster random sampling based on Morgan Table from the second-period high school students in Aran & Bidgol, Kashan. The respondents filled out several questionnaires including Ryff Psychological Well-Being (2001), Sherer Self-Efficacy (1982), Shire and Carver Optimism (1994), Connor and Davidson Resilience (2003), Scheier Life Engagement ( 2006), Diener Psychological Flourishing(2008), and Pamela Hinds adolescents Hopefulness (1985). The data were analyzed through stepwise regression. The results indicated that there is a statistically significant and positive correlation between psychological flourishing, hopefulness, life Engagement, resilience, optimism, self-efficacy, in one hand, and psychological well-being, hopefulness, self-efficacy, and life engagement, in the other hand. In addition, it was found that flourishing can predict psychological well-being directly.
