This study was focused on the Facebook users online campus confession page. Specifically, it aimed to: (1) identify the level of self-disclosure, (2) coping mechanism in terms of problem-focused and emotion-focused, and (3) level of psychological well-being in terms of autonomy, environmental mastery, personal growth, positive relation with others, purpose in life and self-acceptance. (4) determine the significant relationship between self-disclosure and psychological well-being, and (5) coping mechanism and psychological well-being. The researchers used descriptive correlational design and purposive sampling to select participants. The participants of the study were 100 Facebook users who disclosed an online campus page of Cavite State University-Indang Campus. Frequency, mean, standard deviation, percentage and spearman rank correlation were used in analysing the data.
The study revealed that most of the participants have high level of self-disclosure.
On the other hand, the coping mechanism used by the participants is problem-focused. Also, the participants have an average level in dimensions of psychological well-being specifically autonomy, environmental mastery, personal growth, positive relations with others, purpose in life and self-acceptance. Based on the results of the study, the null hypothesis revealed that there is no significant relationship between self-disclosure and to all dimensions of psychological well-being. On the other hand, the relationship of problem focused coping mechanism and psychological well-being in terms of environmental mastery, personal growth, positive relations with others, purpose in life and self-acceptance has significant relationship while problem-focused coping mechanism and psychological well-being in terms of autonomy has no significant relationship. Lastly, emotion-focused coping mechanism and psychological well-being in terms of autonomy, personal growth, purpose in life and positive relations with others has no significant relationship while emotion-focused coping mechanism and psychological well-being in terms of environmental mastery and self-acceptance revealed that there is a significant relationship between the variables.
