Quality of Life Survey for Art and Non-Art University Students in Saudi Arabia

Ghozeail Abdulaziz Abdullah Aldhorman published a dataset on figshare in May 2026. It contains survey and interview data from a comparative study of 237 non-art students from Prince Sattam bin Abdulaziz University and 62 art students from the Royal Institute of Traditional Arts. The data measures quality of life across psychological, social, academic, and time management dimensions.

• Analyze themes regarding the perceived impact of art studies from qualitative interview data with 11 art students.
• Investigate differences in social and time management dimensions between the two student populations as indicated in the results.
• Validate or replicate the finding of no significant difference in the academic dimension of quality of life.

Strengths

• Includes data from 299 total participants (237 non-art and 62 art students).
• Employs a mixed-methods approach combining quantitative survey data with qualitative interviews.
• Questionnaire was developed and validated for data collection.
• Data is openly available under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations
