AB  - The psychological well-being of undergraduates in  Malaysia in relation to
their perceived stress, coping styles, and social support has not been
thoroughly investigated. The aims of the study are (a) to explore the level
of psychological well-being, perceived stress, coping styles, and social
support; (b) to get an accurate description of the demographic variables;
(c) to explore the relationships between psychological well-being, perceived
stress, coping styles, and social support; (d) to explore the relationships
between psychological well-being, perceived stress, coping styles, and
social support after controlling for the possible intervening (demographic) variables; and (e) to explore the differences in psychological well-being,
perceived stress, coping styles, and social support with reference to gender,
status of learner, and religiosity each in its turn.
A random stratified cluster sample of 422 from the faculty of
Educational Studies was taken, as a representative of undergraduates in
that particular faculty in Universiti Putra Malaysia. The sample came from
each of the six programmes in the faculty - the Physical Education
programme, the Agricultural Sciences programme, Teaching English As A
Second Language programme, Guidance And Counseling programme, the
Home Sciences programme, and Teaching Malay As A First Language
programme.
