Abstract:
This research aims to study the predictive power of perceived stress, resilience, social support, and coping strategies (problem-focused coping and emotional-focused coping) on psychological well-being in late adolescents. Participants were 490 senior high school students in government schools in Bangkok. The instruments used in data collection consisted of Ryff's Psychological Well-Being Scale; Perceived Stress Scale; Connor- Davidson Resilience Scale; Multidimensional Scale of perceived social support; and the Brief COPE inventory. Data were analyzed by multiple linear regression. The study results showed that perceived stress, resilience, social support, and coping strategies (problem-focused coping and emotional-focused coping) can predictive psychological well-being in late adolescents with statistical significance (R2 = .63, p < .05). The conclusion shows that perceive stress, resilience, social support, and coping strategies (problem-focused coping and emotional-focused coping) help prediction of psychological well-being in late adolescents. The results of the study can be used as basic information for developing programs to promote psychological well-being for late adolescents.
