Abstract
This study investigates the relationship between General Health and Life Satisfaction among College Students. A sample of 200 college students (100 males and 100 females) Under the age range of 18 – 25 years participated. General health was assessed using the P.G.I. Health Questionnaire (Verma, Wig, & Pershad, 1985), while life satisfaction was measured using the Life Satisfaction Scale (Hardeo Ojha, 2001). The study utilized the Karl Pearson correlation to investigate the relationship between General Health and Life Satisfaction among college students. The results revealed a significant negative correlation between General Health and Life Satisfaction. This counterintuitive finding highlights the need for further investigation into the underlying factors contributing to this relationship within the Indian college student population. The study suggests exploring potential gender-specific or cultural influences, employing qualitative or mixed-method approaches, and considering additional variables such as stress, coping mechanisms, and academic workload.
