The correlation between psychological well-being and adults’ social expectations of short-term educational products on social media
The article presents the results of an empirical study aimed at testing the potential correlation between adult psychological well-being and their social expectations regarding educational products. The relevance of the study is due to the growing number of short-term educational programs presented on social media and the increasing demand for them. To assess psychological well-being, Ryff’s Scales of Psychological Well-being was used, while social expectations were identified through a researcher-developed questionnaire. A total of 147 adult social media users participated in the study. A negative correlation has been found between the frequency of forming non-rationalized expectations and the «environmental mastery» component of psychological well-being. It has been established that a high level of psychological well-being determines a more conscious approach to the learning process itself and contributes to a higher degree of expectation fulfillment.
The multidimensional nature of social expectations as personality constructs that form and change throughout the lifespan has been confirmed. The findings can be applied in psychotherapeutic practice at the stage of selecting tools for addressing an individual’s internal challenges.
