| Abstract: |
This study explores the well-being and life satisfaction of university students in Hungary and Jordan and compares Hungarian students, Jordanian students in Hungary, and Jordanian students in Jordan. Data from 485 students using the Optimal Living Profile-Modified questionnaire revealed significant differences in life satisfaction, with Jordanian students reporting the highest levels. The well-being analysis revealed lower well-being among Hungarian students. Health behavior analysis revealed better physical activity, nutrition, and sleep quality among Jordanian students in Hungary compared to Hungarian students, whereas smoking was more prevalent among Jordanian students in Jordan. The study revealed positive correlations between health behaviors, well-being, and life satisfaction, emphasizing the influence of cultural and contextual factors on student well-being. |
