Abstract
This study examined how student engagement and the school environment influence psychological well-being, with social skills serving as a mediating factor. A quantitative research design was employed using multiple regression and correlation analyses to explore the relationships among the key variables. The study involved 272 students selected through stratified random sampling to ensure balanced representation across demographic and academic groups. Results indicated that both student engagement and the school environment significantly predicted psychological well-being, while social skills played a crucial mediating role in strengthening these associations. The analysis demonstrated that students with higher engagement and better social competence reported greater psychological well-being within supportive school settings. These findings highlight the interconnected nature of engagement, environmental support, and interpersonal development in promoting mental health among students. The study suggests that educational institutions should foster inclusive environments, encourage interactive learning, and implement social skills training to enhance overall student well-being.
