- Abstract
- The following study has examined the relationship between subjective well-being and four key aspects of the student life in Lund: Social support, Self-efficacy, engagement in student organizations and alcohol consumption & attitude. The study was motivated by previous research regarding students mental well-being decreasing in the past years as well as the unique social context of Lund’s student life, strongly characterized by social networks, extensive student engagement and a prominent alcohol culture.

The study was motivated by previous research regarding students mental well-being decreasing in the past years as well as the unique social context of Lund’s student life, strongly characterized by social networks, extensive student engagement and a prominent alcohol culture. The purpose of the study was to investigate how these factors interact with subjective wellbeing amongst students at Lunds University. The study used a quantitative survey design for data collection and in total 103 students from Lunds University participated. The survey was constituted by established scales measuring subjective well-being, social support, and self-efficacy, as well as self-constructed measures regarding alcohol habits and student engagement. The data was analyzed in jamovi using multiple linear regression analysis followed by an exploratory factor analysis. The results demonstrated a significant positive relationship between subjective well-being and both social support and self-efficacy. Students reporting higher levels of perceived social support and self-efficacy also tended to report higher levels of subjective well-being. However, no significant relationships were found between subjective well-being and alcohol consumption, attitudes toward alcohol, or student engagement. The factor analysis further indicated that most of the items used in the scales measured the correct construct. (Less)

- Följande uppsats har undersökt sambandet mellan subjektivt välbefinnande och fyra centrala aspekter av studentlivet i Lund: Socialt stöd, Self-efficacy, engagemang samt alkoholvanor och attityd till alkohol. Bakgrunden till studien var forskning kring en minskning i studenters välbefinnande samt den unika sociala kontexten i Lunds studentliv, starkt karakteriserad av sociala nätverk, engagemang och en påtaglig alkoholkultur. Syftet med studien var att undersöka sambandet mellan dessa faktorer och subjektivt välbefinnande hos studenter på Lunds universitet. Studien var av kvantitativ design och använde sig av en enkät som distribuerades bland studenter på Lunds universitet. Totalt inkluderades 103 studenters svar i analysen. Enkäten bestod... (More)
- Följande uppsats har undersökt sambandet mellan subjektivt välbefinnande och fyra centrala aspekter av studentlivet i Lund: Socialt stöd, Self-efficacy, engagemang samt alkoholvanor och attityd till alkohol. Bakgrunden till studien var forskning kring en minskning i studenters välbefinnande samt den unika sociala kontexten i Lunds studentliv, starkt karakteriserad av sociala nätverk, engagemang och en påtaglig alkoholkultur. Syftet med studien var att undersöka sambandet mellan dessa faktorer och subjektivt välbefinnande hos studenter på Lunds universitet. Studien var av kvantitativ design och använde sig av en enkät som distribuerades bland studenter på Lunds universitet. Totalt inkluderades 103 studenters svar i analysen. Enkäten bestod av etablerade skalor för subjektivt välbefinnande, socialt stöd och self-efficacy samt egenkonstruerade frågor kring alkohol och studentengagemang. Den insamlade datan analyserades i jamovi via multipel linjär regressionsanalys samt explorativ faktoranalys. Resultaten från analysen visade ett signifikant positivt samband mellan subjektivt välbefinnande för både socialt stöd och self-efficacy. Inga signifikanta samband framkom mellan subjektivt välbefinnande och alkoholkonsumtion, attityder till alkohol eller studentengagemang. Faktoranalysen visade samtidigt att skalorna uppvisade god begreppsvaliditet med undantag för en fråga i skalan för subjekt välbefinnande. (Less)
