This study investigated how psychological flourishing and self-compassion influence the emotional experiences of university students, recognizing their crucial roles in supporting mental well-being and resilience during the challenging transition to university life. The research focused on 390 female students aged 18 to 22 from a Saudi university, representing programs such as computer science, tourism and hospitality, and administrative science. Researchers employed validated measures—the psychological flourishing scale, self-compassion scale, and emotional experiences scale—and conducted statistical analyses, including regression and correlation analyses, to examine the relationship between these variables. The results demonstrated statistically significant positive associations between both psychological flourishing and self-compassion with students’ emotional experiences. Furthermore, the interaction of psychological flourishing and self-compassion was found to significantly impact emotional experiences. Regression analysis confirmed that these factors jointly and individually help explain variations in students’ emotional experiences. The study highlights the importance of fostering psychological flourishing and self-compassion in university settings and suggests that targeted interventions incorporating these elements could enhance students’ emotional regulation and overall well-being.
