This research aims to answer the following question-problem: How can the use of multiple methodological strategies be applied to create a research instrument that concretizes Bauman’s “liquid modernity” conception, decoding and explaining socio-academic experiences of stricto sensu accounting postgraduate students (in the strict sense)? Therefore, the objective of the research is to explain a method to create a research instrument that implements sociologist Bauman’s conception on Liquid Modernity, intending to decode socio-academic experiences of stricto sensu postgraduate accounting students (in the strict sense).

The research analyzes the relationship between academic performance and subjective personal well-being of postgraduate students stricto sensu.

The results indicated satisfaction with infrastructure, life satisfaction, positive emotions, marital status and lack of scholarship availability as important predictors of academic performance. We con...
