Global Report On Student Well-being: Volume Ii: Family, Friends, Living Partner, And Self-esteem (recent Research In Psychology)

"I suppose that most of the people reading this volume will have read or have access to Volume One of my Global Report on Student WellƯ Being. Therefore, I will not review the background literature relevant to multiple discrepancies theory (MDT), the theory itself or the essential features of the international university undergraduate dataƯ set on which this whole report is based. Anyone familiar with my earlier papers (Michalos 1985, 1987, 1988) will have a good idea of MDT. However, one really has to have a look at the first volume of this study in order to appreciate the richness of a data-set consisting of over 18,000 cases drawn from 39 countries. As I indicated at the beginning of that volume, the data-set is available for a very modest cost to anyone who wants it and I do hope others will take advantage of it.
