Factors of Military Students’ Psychological Well-Being

Abstract

The article considers the factors of military students’ psychological well-being. The examined military students had average levels for all scales of psychological well-being. They can be mainly characterized as independent people, not afraid to express their opinions contrary to the majority opinion, as open to communication and new experience mastering, capable to achieve the desired and overcome life difficulties. The indicators of psychological well-being of male and female military students were almost indistinguishable according to all studied scales, except for “self-acceptance”, “positive relations with others”, and “good relations with loved ones”. In particular, men, compared to women, had higher self-acceptance, which was manifested in a more positive assessment of themselves and their lives. Women had better relationships with their social environment and loved ones, expressing themselves in a more trusting, friendly relationship, openness to communication, compassion and empathy. The performed factor analysis revealed two structural components of the military students’ psychological well-being, namely: purposefulness/ independence (clarity and stability of the intended goal vector, striving for independence and self-dependence, responsibility and ability to make important decisions); approval by the social environment (subjective awareness of life satisfaction because of positive evaluation of existing social contacts and the approval and recognition of one’s image by his/her the social environment). The factors of psychological well-being of male and female military students were determined. In particular, there were for men: autonomy, environmental management, personal growth, purpose in life, short social distance, and subjective psychological well-being. There were for girls: positive relationships, autonomy, self-acceptance, social approval, positive attitude, subjective psychological well-being.
