The role of spiritual and psychological well-being in promoting sustainable development: A correlational study

This study utilises a correlational research methodology to investigate the association between psychological and spiritual well-being (PWB) among university students. The objective is to determine the magnitude and orientation of the correlation between these two concepts among the Universitas Negeri Yogyakarta (UNY) student body. The data obtained from 193 students from UNY were analysed using Pearson’s correlation coefficient. The Pearson correlation coefficient between PWB and SWB was determined to be r = 0.724 (p 0.001), demonstrating a robust and positive link between the two aspects of well-being among the university students, with potential implications for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The study emphasises the interdependence of the psychological and spiritual aspects of Well-Being among UNY students.
