A thesis is an aptitude test for students. The approval of the thesis is proof that the student has sufficient research and reporting skills to graduate but does not guarantee the quality of the research and the results of the research as such, and the thesis is therefore not necessarily suitable to be used as an academic source to refer to. If you would like to know more about the research discussed in this thesis and any publications based on it, to which you could refer, please contact the supervisor mentioned.
Abstract
This study examines the relationship between commitment strength and well-being, and the possible moderating effect of exploration in breadth. Prior research has shown that commitment strength is a strong predictor of well-being, and that exploration in breadth is of importance too. To test this possible moderation effect, we collected data of 90 first-year psychology students. They filled in a survey with multiple questions dedicated to these variables. As expected, a strong positive relationship between commitment strength and wellbeing was found. However, this relationship was not moderated by exploration in breadth. Meaning that exploration in breadth doesn’t have an influence on interaction between commitment strength and well-being. This implies that both commitment strength and exploration in breadth do contribute to a better well-being individually, rather than interactively.
