Psychological well being is about lives going well. It is a combination of being good and functioning effectively. However, it does not mean feeling good all the time, the experience of painful emotions like disappointment, failure, grief is a normal part of life and being able to manage these negative emotions is essential for long-term well being. So the need for the study of this topic is to explain that many of the drivers of well being are not the same as the drivers of ill-being. The study is hypothesized that, personality, demographic factors, socio-economic factors and international activities are responsible for both psychological well-being and ill-being respectively. To study the objectives, secondary tools were used. With study carried out, with the review of Literature, it suggests that personality factors, demographic factors and socio-economic factors are equally responsible for psychological well-being and ill-being respectively but international activities are only responsible for psychological well-being and not for ill-being.
