This study investigated the relationship between
interdependent self-construal and
psychological wellbeing while employing
benevolence, self-direction, and universalism values as possible mediators of the relationship. A total of 248 undergraduates of a university in Nigeria participated in the study. Data was gathered via responses of the students to measures of values, psychological wellbeing, and self-construal while an hierarchical regression analysis, simple regression analyses, multiple regression analyses, and the MedGraph were employed to test the propositions of the study. Results reveal a significant relationship between
interdependent self-construal and psychological wellbeing, with interdependent self-construal alone predicting 14% of the psychological wellbeing of the students. Moreover, benevolence and self-direction mediated the relationship between interdependent self-construal and psychological wellbeing while universalism did not. Findings were discussed in light of the reviewed empirical and theoretical literatures with implications and directions for future research highlighted
