Impact of Self-Compassion And Existential Anxiety on Psychological Well-Being In Late Adolescents And Early Adults of Peshawar

Abstract

A study was conducted to investigate the impact that existential anxiety and self-compassion had on the psychological well-being of individuals in Peshawar who were in their late teens and early adulthood. [1]At Shaheed Benazir Bhutto Women University, Islamia College, and the University of Peshawar, around two hundred adolescents and young adults between the ages of 18 and 25 were chosen to participate in this study. These individuals were drawn from a variety of departments. In addition, the Existential Worry Questionnaire developed by Bruggen (2017), the Self-Compassion Scale developed by Neff (2003), and the Psychological Well-being scale developed by Ryff (2010) were utilized. In addition, the results of the statistical analysis demonstrated that individuals with high scores on the self-compassion scale outperformed those with low scores on the psychological well-being measure. The outcomes of the study indicated that existential anxiety is a predictor of psychological wellbeing.
