Database: Student Well-Being and Academic Performance Across Disciplinary Contexts: A Comparative Study of Engineering and Non-Engineering Students

Dataset Description

This dataset contains information collected from undergraduate students enrolled in engineering and non-engineering programs at a public university in Ecuador. The data were gathered as part of a research project investigating the relationships between students' psychological well-being, life satisfaction, perceived happiness, and academic performance across different disciplinary contexts.

Data collection involved three assessment instruments: the 42-item Ryff Psychological Well-Being Scale, the five-item Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), and a 14-item Happiness Measurement Questionnaire. These instruments were used to assess different dimensions of students' subjective and psychological well-being. Academic performance was evaluated using students' academic grades.

The dataset provides a foundation for comparative and correlational analyses of well-being indicators and academic achievement among engineering and non-engineering students. It may also support further research on student well-being, educational outcomes, and disciplinary differences in higher education.

This dataset was used in the development of the research article entitled "Student Well-Being and Academic Performance Across Disciplinary Contexts: A Comparative Study of Engineering and Non-Engineering Students."
