Abstract :
The aim of this research was to investigate the relationship between proactive personality and family emotional Climate in the psychological well-being of college students, with the mediating role of behavioral self-regulation. The statistical population consisted of all undergraduate students at Shiraz University, from which 300 participants were selected through a multistage cluster random sampling method. The instruments used in this study included the Proactive Personality Scale (Bateman & Crant, 1993), the Family Emotional Climate Questionnaire (Hilburn, 1964), the Short Form of the Behavioral Self-Regulation Questionnaire (Miller & Brown, 1999), and the Psychological Well-Being Scale (Ryff, 1989). Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM) and bootstrap analysis via SPSS-24 and AMOS-24. The results indicated that the direct effects of proactive personality and family emotional Climate on psychological well-being, as well as their effects on behavioral self-regulation, were statistically significant. Moreover, the indirect effects of these two variables on psychological well-being through behavioral self-regulation were also found to be significant. These findings highlight the importance of both individual and familial factors in promoting psychological well-being among college students. Accordingly, enhancing personality traits such as proactive personality and improving the family emotional Climate may foster psychological well-being by strengthening behavioral self-regulation skills.
