Abstract: While substantial research has taken place regarding Psychological Well-Being (PWB) and Quality Of Life (QOL), very few studies have taken place to study the effect of Demographic Variables such as gender, domicile and number of siblings on PWB and QOL. The following study was conducted on both Undergraduate and Postgraduate students (n=273) of Mysore by administering Ryff’s Psychological Well-Being Scale (middle version consisting of 54 items) and WHO-Quality of Life Scale BREF. The obtained data was analysed through One-Way ANOVA. It was found that children with 1 or 2 siblings had highest PWB and QOL. Urban students had higher Quality Of Life than rural students. Gender had no effect either on PWB or QOL. Research implications and significance for Mental Health Professionals throughout the globe conclude the article.
