Psychological well-being is the experience of fewer negative emotions, such as feelings of loneliness, depression, and low mood, and more positive emotions, such as taking pride in one's life, being enthusiastic about one's life, and having a highly satisfying purpose in life. In other words, it describes an individual who is happy and free from psychopathology. Psychological well-being in romantic relationships is influenced by several factors, such as empathy, relationship stability, and quality of sex life. This study was conducted to examine the relationship between psychological well-being and empathy, quality of sexual life, love, relationship intimacy, and relationship stability among women in romantic relationships. This study included 415 female participants aged 23-45 who had been in a romantic relationship for at least 12 months. Data were collected using the Sociodemographic Data Form, the Psychological Well-Being Scale (PWBS), the Basic Empathy Scale (BES), the Sexual Quality of Life Scale-Women's Form (SQLS), the Relationship Stability Scale (RSS), the Passionate Love Scale (PLS) and the Romantic Relationship Closeness Scale (RRCS). Independent group -test, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), Pearson correlation analysis, and regression analysis were used to analyse the data. The analyses found that the variables that predicted psychological well-being were the relationship satisfaction sub-dimension of the relationship stability scale, quality of sexual life, empathy, and having children. In addition, correlational analysis revealed that empathy, sexual quality of life, intimacy in romantic relationships, relationship satisfaction, and relationship attachment were significantly positively correlated with psychological well-being. In terms of demographic information, it was found that scores for evaluating options in the relationship increased as education level increased; scores for investing in the relationship increased as education level decreased; passionate love was more common among working women; having children increased psychological well-being but decreased intimacy in romantic relationships; and quality of sexual life increased as seriousness in the relationship increased. The results of this study may be useful to psychologists and psychiatrists in their studies of female clients, to sociologists and public health specialists in their studies of women, and to policy makers in determining public health policies.
心理幸福感是指较少体验到负面情绪，如孤独感、抑郁情绪和低落情绪，而更多体验到积极情绪，如为自己的生活感到自豪、对自己的生活充满热情以及拥有高度令人满意的生活目标。换句话说，它描述的是一个幸福且没有精神病理学问题的个体。浪漫关系中的心理幸福感受到多种因素的影响，如同情心、关系稳定性和性生活质量等。本研究旨在探讨浪漫关系中女性的心理幸福感与同情心、性生活质量、爱情、关系亲密度和关系稳定性之间的关系。本研究纳入了415名年龄在23至45岁之间、处于浪漫关系至少12个月的女性参与者。使用社会人口学数据表、心理幸福感量表（PWBS）、基本同情心量表（BES）、女性性生活质量量表（SQLS）、关系稳定性量表（RSS）、激情爱量表（PLS）和浪漫关系亲密度量表（RRCS）收集数据。采用独立样本t检验、单因素方差分析（ANOVA）、皮尔逊相关分析和回归分析对数据进行分析。分析发现，预测心理幸福感的变量是关系稳定性量表的关系满意度子维度、性生活质量、同情心和育有子女。此外，相关分析表明，同情心、性生活质量、浪漫关系中的亲密度、关系满意度和关系依恋与心理幸福感显著正相关。在人口统计学信息方面，发现随着教育水平的提高，关系中评估选项的得分增加；随着教育水平的降低，在关系中投入的得分增加；在职女性中激情爱更为常见；育有子女会增加心理幸福感，但会降低浪漫关系中的亲密度；随着关系严肃性的增加，性生活质量提高。本研究结果可能对心理学家和精神科医生研究女性客户、社会学家和公共卫生专家研究女性以及政策制定者制定公共卫生政策有所帮助。
