“…Contrary to the findings, previous studies (e.g. Moghnie & Kazarian, 2012 ; Singh & Junnarkar, 2014 ) have reported that students studying in private institutions had better life satisfaction and quality of life than government institutions. Results also indicated that students enrolled in undergraduate programs reported lower life satisfaction than students in postgraduate programs.…”

The present study aimed to examine the conceptualisation and determinants of happiness among Indian college students and identify areas in which they require help. The sample consisted of 362 students in the age group of 18 to 30 years (M age = 20.9, SD age = 2.25) from two locations in North and South India. Online forms, including the Satisfaction with Life Scale (Diener et al., 1985), Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (Watson et al. in J Pers Soc Psychol 54:1063–1070, 1998) and a qualitative survey, were used to collect the data. Results indicated that participants from institutions that offered mental health initiatives reported higher well-being than those who did not. Findings from the qualitative survey suggest that most participants conceptualised happiness in terms of need for satisfaction and well-being. The responses also indicated that leisure activities and time spent with the family determined the participants’ happiness. Concerns related to interpersonal relationships made the participants unhappy, and most of them were willing to seek help in this regard. Factors beyond immediate self and interpersonal networks had a limited role in participants’ perceived happiness and unhappiness. Study findings could guide the development of customised mental health and well-being promotion initiatives to meet the needs of Indian college students.

“…13 Furthermore, it is important to highlight that the WHOQOL Group recommends including both patients and non-patients as participants in studies using the WHOQOL. 3 The psychometric properties of the WHOQOL-Bref have thus far been investigated in patients [14][15][16] and non-patients 8,[17][18][19] in almost 40 countries. Some of these studies compared different cultures (transnational studies) and showed different ways of operationalizing the quality of life construct.…”
