This study examined the correlation between well-being, parental attachment, and social connectedness among college students in Pakistan. It was hypothesized that females would report lower well-being but higher parental attachment and social connectedness compared to males. A sample of 111 students (54 females and 57 males) was drawn from two government colleges in the Kahuta area of Rawalpindi. Participants completed the BBC Well-being Scale, the Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment (IPPA), and the Social Connectedness Scale. Results indicated that males reported higher well-being (M = 67.90, SD = 10.315), while females demonstrated greater social connectedness (M = 37.39, SD = 8.169) and stronger parental attachment (M = 293.0, SD = 38.962). Although these differences were not statistically significant, gender-based variations were observed. The findings provide preliminary insights and highlight the need for further research on these variables in the Pakistani context.
