Abstract

It is widely accepted that the concept and content of social welfare has changed substantially over the last few decades, and this variable can be affected by many factors. The purpose of the study was to investigate the relationship between self-awareness and social welfare. The study was a descriptive correlational study. The study population consisted of all citizens aged over 18 years old in Ardabil in 2018. According to the Cochran formula, 384 individuals were selected through a multi-stage random cluster sampling. To collect data, Fenigstein, Scheier, and Buss self-knowledge questionnaires and researcher-made social welfare questionnaire were used. The obtained data were analyzed by Pearson's tests, and simple and multiple regression. The results of the analysis showed a significant positive correlation between self-awareness dimensions (private self-awareness and public self-awareness) with social welfare. A reverse significant relationship was also observed between social anxiety and social welfare. The results suggest that private self-awareness more than other dimensions can predict social welfare changes.
