Measurement of Psychological Tranquility Among University Students
Measurement of Psychological Tranquility Among University Students
Abstract
The current research aims to identify:
1. There is psychological tranquility among university students.
2. The variables of gender (male-female), academic year (first-fourth), and field of study (scientific-humanities) significantly influence the psychological tranquility among university students.
The primary research sample consisted of 800 male and female students selected through stratified random sampling from the colleges of the University of Mosul for the academic year 2023-2024. We distributed the sample equally across 10 colleges, with 5 representing scientific fields and 5 representing the humanities.
We developed a psychological tranquility scale to achieve the research objectives, and we verified its validity using face validity, construct validity, and intrinsic validity. We calculated reliability using two methods: test-retest and Cronbach's alpha. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) statistically analyzed the data after applying the tool, yielding the following results:
1. University students enjoy psychological tranquility.
2. There is a statistically significant difference in psychological tranquility based on gender (in favor of females) and academic year (in favor of fourth-year students).
3. There is no statistically significant difference in psychological tranquility based on the field of study (scientific vs. humanities)
