Abstract:
The purposes of this thesis were to study the relationship between explanatory style and subjective well-being of Chulalongkorn University junior students, and to compare the differences of positive explanatory style and negative explanatory style. Participants were 369 junior students of Chulalongkorn University.
The results are as follows:
1. For good events, the mean subjective well-being of the students with positive explanatory style is significantly higher than the mean of subjective well-being of the students with negative explanatory style.
2. For bad events, the mean subjective well-being of the students with positive explanatory style is significantly higher than the mean of subjective well-being of the students with negative explanatory style.
3. The attributions for the good events in the internality dimension, stability dimension, and globality dimension have significant positive multiple correlation with subjective well-being.
4. The attributions for the bad events in the internality dimension, stability dimension, and globality dimension have significant negative multiple correlation with subjective well-being.
5. The good events explanatory style in the internality dimension, stability dimension, and globality dimension and the bad events explanatory style in the internality dimension, stability dimension, and globality dimension, together, can significantly predict the subjective well-being.
