Abstract: This study investigates the relationships between gratitude, health, satisfaction with life, loneliness, and academic achievement among university students. A sample of 300 students from Bahauddin Zakariya University Multan, comprising 100 students each from the Department of Applied Psychology and the Department of Sociology, participated in the study. The research explores how gratitude directly and indirectly influences academic achievement through its effects on health, satisfaction with life, and loneliness. Structural equation modeling was used to test the hypothesized relationships. The findings reveal that gratitude positively impacts health and satisfaction with life, while reducing loneliness, which in turn enhances academic achievement. Health and satisfaction with life were found to be significant mediators, while loneliness negatively affected both satisfaction with life and academic performance. The results suggest that fostering gratitude and addressing loneliness can significantly improve students' well-being and academic outcomes. These findings have important implications for educational institutions aiming to promote mental health and academic success.
