Specific Features of the Psychological Well-Being of Foreign Students in the Sports Environment

Abstract

The well-being of international students significantly influences their academic success and socio-cultural adaptation. This study examines differences in psychological well-being between international students who engage in sports and those who do not. The objectives include assessing well-being levels based on sports participation, analyzing its impact on academic performance, and outlining distinct psychological profiles for each group. Using literature review and empirical data, the findings emphasize that sports participation positively affects students’ psychological well-being, supporting better academic outcomes and smoother cultural integration.
