A Mixed-Methods Study of Psychological Well-Being and Adjustment in Relation to Gender Differences and Institutional Support among Non-Local Students in Kolkata

Author(s) Ms. Limeka Aye, Annu Biswas
Country India
Abstract This mixed-methods study examines the psychological well-being of non-local students studying in Kolkata, focusing on their adjustment experiences, gender differences, and perceptions of institutional support. Using both survey data (N = 52, Males= 31, Females= 21) and standardized psychological well-being scales, the research explores key dimensions such as autonomy, purpose in life, positive relations, environmental mastery, personal growth, and self-acceptance. The survey findings reveal that many non-local students experience homesickness, loneliness, moderate levels of perceived peer and faculty support, and varying degrees of cultural adjustment, often complicated by language barriers and limited guidance on navigating social relationships. The statistical analysis involved t-test and Pearson correlation, which further uncovered significant positive correlations among various psychological well-being domains, particularly among female participants, who reported higher levels of autonomy, environmental mastery, personal growth, and self-acceptance compared to males. However, most gender differences were not statistically significant, except for autonomy. The study highlights the complex interplay between personal, social, and institutional factors shaping the psychological well-being of non-local students. These findings underscore the need for more targeted institutional interventions, including enhanced peer support systems, culturally sensitive counseling services, and proactive community-building programs to foster inclusivity and psychological resilience among non-local student populations.
