The Role of Well-being in the Perceived Parental Involvement and Academic Achievement of Dean’s Listers of BS Psychology Program

This quantitative research study aimed to examine the role of well-being in students' perceived parental autonomy support and academic achievement. The study collected data through questionnaires to assess students' perceptions in these areas. The findings indicated that both mothers and fathers were perceived to provide relatively low levels of autonomy support with a higher perception of psychological control. Despite students' overall academic success, a substantial proportion reported low levels of well-being. The study showed a significantly positive correlation between the perceived parental autonomy support of mothers and fathers (p = <.001). Additionally, significantly weak positive correlations were found between perceived maternal autonomy support and well-being (p < 0.043), highlighting the crucial role of the mother's involvement in promoting student well-being. However, no significant correlations were found between parental autonomy support and academic achievement for either mothers (p = 0.963) or fathers (p = 0.948), indicating the need for further investigation into the role of maternal support in academic success. Overall, the study highlights the significance of parental autonomy support, well-being, and academic achievement in students' lives. Providing students with resources and support services to improve their well-being is crucial in creating a positive learning environment that fosters engagement, motivation, and goal-setting. A comprehensive and multi-faceted approach is recommended to create a supportive and conducive environment for students' overall development and academic success.
