I explored the relationship between forgiveness and subjective well-being (SWB), and the mediating effect of social support in this relationship. Participants were 443 college students from Henan, China, who completed the Heartland Forgiveness Scale, Perceived Social Support Scale, and Subjective Well-Being Scale. The results show that both interpersonal forgiveness and self-forgiveness were significantly correlated with SWB. Moreover, social support partially mediated the effects of both self-forgiveness and interpersonal forgiveness on SWB. These findings extend prior research and elucidate how forgiveness can influence SWB in college students.

Subjective well-being (SWB) merupakan gambaran kebahagiaan, kepuasaan hidup, dan gambaran afek positif-negatif individu. Self-esteem (penghargaan diri) dan self-forgiveness (penerimaan diri) merupakan dasar penilaian positif individu terhadap dirinya. Oleh sebab itu, penelitian ini dilakukan guna memperoleh peran self-esteem dan self-forgiveness sebagai prediktor SWB pada perempuan dewasa muda. Penelitian ini menggunakan tiga alat ukur, yakni Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES), Heartland Forgiveness Scale (HFS), dan Oxford Happiness Questionnaire (OHQ). Penelitian ini juga hendak melihat seberapa besar peranan self-esteem dan self-forgiveness terhadap SWB. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kuantitatif dengan teknik non-probabilitysampling. Subjek dalam penelitian ini berjumlah 500 perempuan yang berusia 20 – 28 tahun, memiliki minimal pendidikan SMA/ sederajat, dan berdomisili di Jabodetabek. Seluruh data diolah dengan teknik explore (descriptive statistic) dan analyze (regression) menggunakan SPSS Statistic versi 24. Penelitian ini memperoleh hasil bahwa self-esteem dan self-forgiveness berperan secara signifikan sebagai prediktor SWB pada perempuan dewasa muda, yakni sebasar 53,8%. Berdasarkan besaran peran, self-esteem memiliki peran sebagai prediktor yang lebih besar dari self-forgiveness, yakni sebesar 52,5%. Sedangkan, self-forgiveness memiliki peran sebesar 17,9%. Bagi penelitian selanjutnya, jumlah partisipan dapat dikontrol secara merata agar memperoleh hasil yang lebih baik. Selain itu, dapat pula dilakukan intervensi pada partisipan yang memiliki self-esteem, self-forgiveness dan SWB yang cenderung rendah, sehingga peneliti dapat mengontrol dan melakukan follow-up. Penelitian selanjutnya juga dapat menguji forgiveness of others dan forgiveness of the situation, untuk melihat seberapa besar peran keduanya terhadap SWB.Meneliti pada rentang usia dewasa dewasa muda tengah (28 – 33 tahun)dan dewasa muda akhir (33 – 40 tahun) juga dapat diaplikasikan pada penelitian selanjutnya.Subjective well-being (SWB) is an image of happiness, life satisfaction, and an image of the individual’s positive and negative affects. Self-esteem and self-forgiveness are the basis for an individual's positive assessment of him/herself. Therefore, this study was conducted to obtain the role of self-esteem and self-forgiveness as predictors of SWB in young adult women. This study used three measuring instruments, namely Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES), Heartland Forgiveness Scale (HFS), and Oxford Happiness Questionnaire (OHQ). This study also aims to discover the role of self-esteem and self-forgiveness towards SWB. This research is a quantitative study with non-probability sampling technique. Subjects in this study were 500 women aged 20-28 years, with minimum of high school / equivalent education level, and lived in Jabodetabek area. The data was processed by exploring (descriptive statistics) and analyzing (regression) techniques using SPSS Statistics version 24. This study shows that self-esteem and self-forgiveness play a significant role as predictors of SWB in young adult women, which is 53.8%. Based on the magnitude of the role, self-esteem is a greater predictor of SWB than self-forgiveness, equal to 52.5% with self-forgiveness equal to 17.9%. For further research, the number of participants can be made more even in order to obtain better results. In addition, intervention can also be conducted on participants with low self-esteem, self-forgiveness and SWB, so that researchers can conduct control and follow-up. Future studies may also examine forgiveness of others and forgiveness of the situation, in order to find out their contribution towards SWB. Research on middle young adults(28-33 years old) and late young adults (33-40 years) can also be applied in subsequent studies.

On the premise that social relationships among elderly adults differ in terms of the most significant, dominant figure, this study aimed to examine: (1) whether there were qualitative differences in supportive functions between family-dominant and friend-dominant affective relationships, and (2) whether “lone wolves”, who were deficient in human resources, had difficulties in maintaining their well-being. A total of 148 Japanese, over the age of 65, both living in communities and in institutions were individually interviewed about their social relationships using a self-report type method, the Picture Affective Relationships test, and their well-being was assessed using Depression, Self-esteem, Life satisfaction, and Subjective health scales. Results showed that there were no differences in psychological well-being between family-dominant and friend-dominant participants, but those who lacked affective figures had lower scores in subjective well-being than did their family-dominant and friend-dominant counterparts. The generalisation of these findings to other cultures is discussed.

The article is devoted to the study of student's coping strategies influence on the level of their subjective well-being in conditions of distance learning. It was found that student's coping strategies have an impact on the level of their psychological comfort. Using regression analysis it was revealed that the variability of student's life well-being is determined by the following coping strategies: positive self-esteem; responsibility; planning; escape and self-control. It was developed the typology of students in the conditions of distance education, which includes such indicators of dominant coping strategies: the level of psychological comfort, dominant coping and measure of stress tolerance. According to the certain typology, three types of students were defined: 1) adaptive type (high indicators of well-being, high indicators of tolerance to stress, dominant strategies “self-esteem”, “responsibility” and “planning” ); 2) maladaptive type (low indicators of well-being, low indicators of tolerance to stress, dominant coping “escape”); 3) average adaptive type (average indicators of well-being, average indicators of tolerance to stress; dominant strategies “responsibility”, “self-control”, low indicators of coping “positive self-esteem”). The results of the study indicate that students who are best adapted to distance learning and have a high level of psychological comfort tend to evaluate themselves positively, treat work responsibly, plan their studies and have an average level of self-control.

Using recent data from the International Sexuality Description Project (ISDP), we examined whether national differences in self‐esteem across 55 nations are reflected in suicide rates. Results indicate that suicide is especially common in nations with relatively low levels of self‐esteem. This relation is consistent across sex lines, age of suicide and independent from several other relevant factors such as economic affluence, transition, individualism, subjective well‐being, and neuroticism. These findings provide support for the predictive validity of self‐esteem scores as assessed in the ISDP survey. They also contribute to a growing body of research documenting negative consequences associated with low self‐esteem. Possible implications for suicide prevention strategies are discussed.

The aim of this study was to investigate interrelationships among the identity negotiation styles that people use, the cognitive and behavioural strategies they deploy, and their sense of subjective well-being. To examine this, 198 American and 109 Finnish college students completed the Identity Style Inventory, the Strategy and Attribution Questionnaire, Rosenberg’s Self-esteem Scale, and the revised Beck’s Depression Inventory. Results showed that people with an information-oriented identity style reported the highest level of self-esteem, those with a normative style had the most stable self-conceptions, and those with a diffuse/avoidant style displayed the highest level of depressive symptomatology. Moreover, dysfunctional cognitive and attributional strategies, such as expecting to fail and engaging in task-irrelevant behaviour, were associated with low self-esteem, unstable self-conceptions, and depressive symptomatology. Finally, the associations between identity processing styles and well-being were found to be mediated by the cognitive strategies that people deploy.
