Abstract (Swedish)
Finns det ett samband mellan utbildningsval och universitetsstudenters välmående under studietiden? 30 universitetsstudenter svarade på frågor om deras utbildningsval, deras motivation till universitetsstudier och deras välmående. En regressionsanalys visade att utbildningsval baserat på intresse inte ledde till högre välmående än val baserat på karriärutsikt. Däremot visades att högre inre motivation till universitetsstudier ledde till högre välmående, medan brist på motivation ledde till lägre välmående. Studien kan bidra till ett nyanserat utbildningsval som tar hänsyn till såväl framtida förmåner som studenternas välmående under studietiden.
Abstract
Is there a correlation between the choice of education and the well-being of university students during their studies? Thirty university students answered questions about their educational choices, their motivation for university studies, and their well-being.

However, it was demonstrated that higher intrinsic motivation for university studies led to higher well-being, while a lack of motivation resulted in lower well-being. The study can contribute to a nuanced approach to educational choices that considers both future benefits and the well-being of students during their academic... (More)
