Abstract

The present study evaluated empirical relations between the 2014-15 Times Higher Education (THE) World University Rankings and psychological well-being in over 3,000 faculty from 27 countries. Findings showed lower rankings to correlate with higher levels of depression, negative emotions following setbacks (guilt, helplessness), and maladaptive coping strategies (wishful thinking, withdrawal).
