The goals of the present study were to test the relationship between personal values (i.e., self-transcendence and self-enhancement) and subjective well-being and the mediation of this relationship by sociocultural adaption among a sample of Afghan refugees (N = 381) during COVID19. The data was analysed using SPSS 25. Results show that self-transcendence was a significant predictor of subjective well-being, even by controlling for sociocultural adaptation. Sociocultural adaptation did not significantly mediate the positive relationship between refugees’ self-transcendence and subjective well-being. This research provides a novel understanding from the psychological perspectives of refugees’ well-being in time of crisis. We anticipate many new insights with the recent flourishing of research on personal value-subjective well-being relations, and with the additional inclusion of sociocultural adaptation.
