Abstract : The aim of the present study was to examine the relationship among Institutional Research Culture (IRC), Doctoral Student Identity (DI), and Psychological Well-being, and to explore differences based on gender, domicile, scholarship status, and prior research work experience. Design/ Methodology/ approach: A quantitative, cross-sectional research design was employed among 117 PhD scholars from various universities across India, predominantly from Kashmir region, comprising 82 females and 35 males. Data were collected using the Institutional Research Culture Scale, Doctoral Student Identity Scale, and WHO-5 Well-Being Index.

Keywords : Institutional Research Culture, Doctoral Student Identity, Psychological Well-being.
