Exploring The Relationship Between Life Skills Acquisition And Psychological Well-Being Among Secondary School Students
Main Article Content
Abstract
This correlational study examines the relationship between life skills acquisition and psychological well-being among secondary school students. The research aims to understand how life skills impact students' psychological well-being, defined as positive emotions, engagement, and a sense of purpose. Using a normative survey method, data was collected from 400 standard IX students in various districts of Kerala through stratified random sampling. The study compares Psychological Well-Being (Criterion Variable) and Life Skills Attainment (Predictor Variable) using a General Data Sheet, a Psychological Well-Being Scale, and a Life Skills Attainment Test. The findings are expected to provide insights for educators, policymakers, and practitioners to enhance secondary education and mental health support.
