An Integrated Study of Academic, Relational, Economic, and Social Factors Affecting University Students Happiness

This study investigates the happiness of Sri Lankan university students with an emphasis on the variables affecting their quality of life. Comprehending these elements is essential to creating environments that encourage students and help them succeed. Examined factors include financial stability, social relationships, academic pressure, mental health, and extracurricular activities. Through an analysis of these variables, the study seeks to pinpoint the most important elements that influence students’ level of satisfaction and offer practical suggestions to college administrators. Preliminary results indicate that financial security and mental health resources also significantly contribute to overall well-being, even if social support and academic success are important factors in student satisfaction. Universities can better support their students’ journeys and ensure a more joyful and rewarding time at university by addressing the aspects that have been highlighted. As a result, this research will finally propose an application that mainly aims to overcome the factors that impact the happiness of university students which lead to poor academic performance. The system is expected to be a user-friendly platform where anyone can find a set of solutions for their happiness to stay motivated for their academic performance.

Abstract

This study investigates the happiness of Sri Lankan university students with an emphasis on the variables affecting their quality of life. Comprehending these elements is essential to creating environments that encourage students and help them succeed. Examined factors include financial stability, social relationships, academic pressure, mental health, and extracurricular activities. Through an analysis of these variables, the study seeks to pinpoint the most important elements that influence students’ level of satisfaction and offer practical suggestions to college administrators. Preliminary results indicate that financial security and mental health resources also significantly contribute to overall well-being, even if social support and academic success are important factors in student satisfaction. Universities can better support their students’ journeys and ensure a more joyful and rewarding time at university by addressing the aspects that have been highlighted. As a result, this research will finally propose an application that mainly aims to overcome the factors that impact the happiness of university students which lead to poor academic performance. The system is expected to be a user-friendly platform where anyone can find a set of solutions for their happiness to stay motivated for their academic performance.
