Subjective well-being and academic achievement

Is the subjective well-being (SWB) of high-achieving students generally higher compared to low achieving students? In this meta-analysis, we investigated the association between SWB and academic achievement by synthesizing ۱۵۱ effect sizes from ۴۷ studies with a total of ۳۸,۹۴۶ participants. The correlation between academic achievement and SWB was small to medium in magnitude and statistically significant at r = ۰.۱۶۴, ۹۵% CI [۰.۱۱۳, ۰.۲۱۶]. The correlation was stable across various levels of demographic variables, different domains of SWB, and was stable across alternative measures of academic achievement or SWB. Overall, the results suggest that low-achieving students do not necessarily report low well-being, and that high-achieving students do not automatically experience high levels of well-being.
