Psychological well-being is a multidimensional concept that is typically defined as mixture of positive affective states such as satisfaction and functioning with optimum life efficiency. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between weight efficacy life style dimensions and perceived parental styles dimensions with psychological well-being among university students. This Correlational Study was conducted in statistical population of all undergraduate and master students of Azarbaijan Shahid Madani University during 2016-2017 academic year. 180 students from this university’s faculty were selected through multi-stage random cluster sampling. They were assessed by Clark’s Weight Efficacy Life Style (WEL), Grolnickchr('39')s Perceptions of Parents Scales (POPS) and Keyes & Magyar-Moe’s Psychological Well-being questionnaires. In addition, the demographic questionnaire was completed. Data were entered to SPSS-24 and analyzed using descriptive Statistics and Simultaneous Regression. According to the findings of the study, there is a positive and significant relationship between weight-efficacy life style and its two subscales: negative emotions and physical discomfort with psychological well-being, and there is a negative and significant relationship between perceived parenting style and all its subscales with psychological well-being. However, the research findings found that 36 percent of changes in psychological well-being are predicted in physical discomfort, mother’s autonomy support and mother’s warmth. Overall, the findings of this study support the role of weight-efficacy life style and perceived parenting styles variables in student psychological well-being
