Abstract

The current study was conducted to examine the psychological well-being of Turkish emerging adults in terms of loneliness, dimensions of perceived social support, and attitudes towards sibling relationships. The sample consisted of 422 university students from three universities located in Istanbul, Turkey. According to the results of the study, loneliness, attitudes towards sibling relations, and perceived social support from family were significant predictors of psychological well-being. Perceived social support from friends and a significant other were not significant predictors of psychological well-being. All variables explained 40% of the total variance of psychological well-being.
