The sample consisted of male personnel in active service, primarily within the age range of 35\u201339 years, with service experience ranging approximately from 16 to 22 years. Participants were serving in the rank of Havildar and were either residing with their families or posted away from them. Data were collected through structured online forms using standardized measures: the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) and a 42-item Psychological Well-Being Scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Preliminary response patterns indicate a predominance of \u201cstrongly agree\u201d and \u201csomewhat agree\u201d responses across most items measuring psychological well-being and life satisfaction, suggesting generally high levels of perceived well-being and satisfaction among participants. However, comparatively varied responses were observed among personnel residing without their families, including occasional neutral and disagree responses on selected well-being indicators. This variation highlights the possible influence of living arrangements and service-related separation on subjective well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, the findings suggest a positive association between psychological well-being and life satisfaction among defense personnel. Higher levels of psychological well-being appear to correspond with greater life satisfaction. The study underscores the importance of psychological resilience, emotional stability, and supportive environments in maintaining life satisfaction within military contexts. These findings may have implications for mental health interventions and welfare policies aimed at enhancing well-being among defense personnel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Keywords:<\/strong> Life Satisfaction, Psychological Well-Being, Defense Personnel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-1-color has-text-color\"><strong>Page No: 187-195<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-ast-global-color-6-background-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/bijmrd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/187-195.pdf\">download journal<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author: Anushree M, Kaushik M, Prashanth M P, Mohsina Sultana &amp; Johnson W S DOI Link: https:\/\/doi.org\/10.70798\/Bijmrd\/04042023 Abstract: The present study examined the relationship between psychological well-being and life satisfaction among defense personnel.
