ABSTRACT

Objective: To explore the influence of esteem, social support, locus of control and other variables on the subjective well-being (SWB) of college students. Methods: Index of Well-being, SSRS (social support rating scale) and MMCS (multi-dimensional multi-attribution causality scale) were used in 400 college students. Results: Urban and rural students differed in SWB, there was no significant difference in SWB between male and female. SWB was positively correlated with self-esteem and social support. SWB in the group of "external locus of control" was lower than that of"middle locus of control" and of"inner locus of control", while there was no significant difference between the later two groups. Conclusion:This study provides a base for further study on SWB of students.
