Stress and well-being are important life experiences, but we cannot improve well-being by avoiding stress. If we want to increase well-being, we can start by determining the relationship between stress and well-being and other factors that may be effective in this relationship. This cross-sectional study investigates the hypothetical mediating and moderating roles of self-transcendence and coping flexibility in the relationship between stress and mental well-being among Turkish university students. A total of 403 students enrolled in a state university in Türkiye participated in the study. The sample was 75% female ( n = 302) and 25% male ( n = 101), with ages ranging from 18 to 25 years ( M = 21.21, SD = 2.70). Findings revealed that stress significantly predicted university students’ mental well-being in a negative direction. Furthermore, the study identifies self-transcendence and coping flexibility as hypothetical mediators in the relationship between stress and mental well-being. Finally, it was found that coping flexibility moderated the effect of stress on self-transcendence and mental well-being. Under conditions of high coping flexibility, there are stronger, negative associations between stress and self-transcendence and stress and mental well-being. Overall, this study contributes to the understanding of the important role of self-transcendence and coping flexibility in promoting mental well-being and combating stress in the university environment.

Emerging adulthood is a transitional phase characterized by instability and uncertainty, which can lead to psychological distress among individuals transitioning from high school to adulthood. This study utilized an experimental design to assess the effectiveness of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) training in improving subjective well-being and self-compassion. We recruited 18 emerging adults, specifically those who had recently graduated from high school, with 8 individuals in the experimental group and 10 in the control group. The training comprised four sessions, each lasting two hours. The Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) and the Self-Compassion Scale (SCS) were used for measurement. Data analysis using independent sample t-tests indicated significant improvements in subjective well-being and self-compassion in the experimental group compared to the control group. The effects of the intervention remained strong at the 3-week follow-up. These findings suggest that ACT training is effective in enhancing subjective well-being and self-compassion among emerging adults experiencing psychological distress.
