Abstract
The aim of the study was to assess the link between interpersonal relationships (IPR) and
psychological well-being (PWB) among adult condominium residents. The research setting was
Mickey Leland Condominium site in Addis Ababa. The sample was composed of two hundred
fifty-two (136 males and 116 females) adults. A quantitative research approach was employed.
Participants were selected using stratified random sampling technique, and a representative
sample was drawn through simple random sampling. To collect the data, Ryff’s Psychological
Well-being (RPWB) 18-item scale and Interpersonal Support Evaluation Short List 12-items
(ISEL 12-Item) scales were used. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics
(percentage, mean and standard deviation) Correlational and regression Analyses and
Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) were used with the help of Statistical Package for
Social Scientists (SPSS) version 24. The study found a moderate positive and significant
relationship between IPR and PWB. Adult condominium residents’ total mean scores on IPR and
PWB were also found to be above average. Moreover, no statistically significant differences
were found in IPR and PWB with respect to age, sex, marital status education background, years
of living in condominium, and monthly income. Practical and research implications of the
findings are discussed
