The aim of this research is to investigate the relationship between psychological well-being and loneliness among young single adults. This study utilized quantitative correlational research methodology. The study included 177 single early adult students who were selected randomly. Psychological assessment in this study utilized Russell's (1996) loneliness scale and Ryff & Singer's (2006) psychological well-being scale. Data analysis involved the use of Pearson's product-moment correlation analysis.
