College and universities have seen a shift in parent and family involvement in their traditional-aged college student's experience. Generation Z members, born between 1995-2012, were born into a world with the Internet, smartphones, and social media (Twenge, 2017). As defined by Wartman & Savage (2008), parent involvement includes parents and families showing interest and concern for their students while at college and also providing support, encouragement, and guidance to help their students be successful. Numerous studies on factors that impact a college student's well-being have been conducted, including, but not limited to sleep, physical activity, personal relationships, stress, and alcohol and drug use (Ridner et al., 2016). For this quantitative study, the researcher recruited first-year college students from a large-sized public institution in the Southeastern part of the United States to complete a survey. College students' perceptions of parent involvement and self-reported well-being were measured through two previously created instruments, the Perceptions of Parents Scale (Robbins, 1994) and the Psychological Well-Being Scale (Ryff & Keyes, 1995). Demographic information was also collected. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to examine responses on each scale. Data analysis focused on the impact of several independent variables -- including gender, race, ethnicity, campus housing status, and primary caregiver's highest education level. The purpose of this study was to examine how college students perceive the level of involvement of their parents and rate their level of well-being and determine if there was a relationship between them. Findings indicated a significant positive relationship between perceived parent involvement and reported well-being. Participants also reported a positive sense of their own well-being, with men reporting higher levels than women. Lastly, the differences when measuring perceptions in parent involvement and measuring self-reported well-being based on specific demographic characteristics including race and ethnicity and caregiver educational levels, were significant. This study contributes to the growing landscape of college parent involvement literature. The findings highlight the need for colleges and universities to continue to discuss parent involvement and student well-being and the relationship between them in supporting today's college students.
