| Abstract | Given the importance of ego, coping styles and self-control in adjustment and mental health, this study aims to investigate the relationship between these three variables among university students for establishing psychological well-being. The present study is a descriptive-correlative study and its research population consists of all the students enrolled in the Master Plan of the University of Shahed of Tehran in 2013. Using the method of random sampling, a proportion of 10 % of the total number of students enrolled were selected as the sample. The sample size was 330 male and female students and the mean age of participants was 21.71. The questionnaires used consisted of three questionnaires: ego's strength, self-esteem and self-control, and demographic information (gender, college, education, age, and marital status, etc). For data analysis, descriptive statistics, such as mean and standard deviation, and inferential statistics, such as independent t-test and Pearson correlation coefficient, and SPSS software version 18 were used. The results show that of the variables of self-esteem, self-control and ego's strength, only the difference between means on the variable of ego's strength is significant. (p= 0/02<0/05), and it is more among women than men. Also, among the components of ego's strength, the level of care (p= 0/000 <0/05), love (p= 0/001<0/05), loyalty (p=0/043<0/05), competence (p=0/002<0/05) and hope (p=0/049<0/05) varies between the two groups. It is higher in women than men. However, the correlation coefficients of these variables of self-control, self-esteem and ego's strength indicate a significant relationship among them (p=0/000<0/05). According to these results, the levels of ego's strength, selfesteem and self-control are related. It is recommended that clinicians take note of this result as secondary prevention in matters related to counseling and psychotherapy. And, thus by knowing the above personality traits, the can analyze the levels of ego's strength in them and predict and complete health steps. |
