dc.description.abstractMental well-being is a multifaceted concept that reflects emotional stability, psychological resilience and social connectedness. This study examines how demographic factors, perceived loneliness, and social support influence mental well-being in Spain. Participants were surveyed online and provided personal information along with responses to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) Loneliness Scale, the Medical Outcomes Study Social Support Survey (MOS-SSS), and the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale (WEMWBS). Our findings support previous research on mental well-being in Spain and again show significant associations between income, loneliness, social support and overall mental health. In particular, perceived loneliness was found to be a strong predictor of mental well-being. Furthermore, income and social support were found to partially mediate the relationship between loneliness and mental well-being. These findings highlight the critical role of social connections and financial stability in promoting mental health. Overall, this research contributes to the growing understanding of the factors influencing mental well-being and provides valuable insights for improving mental health outcomes.en
