Abstract

Happiness is one of the fundamental driving forces of human beings, underlying many of their actions, goals, and aspirations. Throughout human history, the pursuit of happiness has remained a central philosophical and psychological concern. In contemporary psychological literature, well-being is broadly understood through two major conceptualizations: subjective well-being (hedonia) and psychological well-being (eudaimonia). So, the study was conducted to see the correlation between Happiness and Psychological Well-Being among college students, with a focus on gender-based differences. Data were collected from 100 college students using standardized self-report instruments. The findings support the theoretical framework that positions happiness as a critical psychological strength contributing to the psychological well-being of the students. Implications for future research and interventions aimed at enhancing hope to improve mental health outcomes are discussed.
