Information And Communication

This study explored the thoughts of emerging adults with Down syndrome on quality of life and subjective well-being. Eight 22-year-olds participated in interviews. Data was analysed with content analysis. Four themes were revealed: Work based on interest and capability, having an active and social leisure life, a safe place to live and the use of information and communication technology. Two context related patterns were identified showing that quality of life and subjective well-being were related to individualised support to enhance independency in work, social leisure and place of living. Knowledge of their perception of independency and their awareness of needing customised help and support is valuable. This study supports the proposed emerging Quality of Life Supports Paradigm in the field of intellectual disabilities, which integrates key concepts of quality of life and supports.

The Impact

The influence of belief in a just world on individuals' mental health has been extensively researched. We examined the impact of belief in a just world on subjective well-being, focusing mainly on the mediating role of sense of control in this relationship. Participants were 372 Chinese undergraduate university students who completed the Belief in a Just World Scale, the Sense of Control Scale, and the Subjective Well-Being Scale. The results revealed that both their belief in a just world and their sense of control were significantly correlated with their subjective well-being. Structural equation modeling analysis indicated that sense of control partially mediated the effect of belief in a just world on subjective well-being. Our findings extend previous results and provide valuable evidence that belief in a just world predicts subjective well-being.

Male Prisoners

This study focuses on the relationship between the experience of justice, belief in a just world (BJW), and the feelings of adult male prisoners. The sample comprised 100 adult male prisoners from a German prison. Regression analysis provided evidence for the assimilation function of the BJW: High believers evaluated the legal proceedings, their interpersonal treatment by their corrections officers, and decisions on prison affairs as more just; they reported better well-being and were less likely to express anger as outburst behavior. Interpersonal justice was particularly important in explaining well-being. The results persisted when controlling for social desirability, criminal background, and personal background. The role of BJW and interpersonal justice as a resource for adaptive social behavior and subjective well-being is discussed.

The Relationship

The primary aim of this study was to explore the relationship between the domains of HIV-related stigma and subjective well-being in people living with HIV ( N = 90), giving a special emphasis to the role of Belief in a Just World. A significant relationship emerged between the domains of stigma and the components of subjective well-being, which is not direct, but is rather mediated by Belief in a Just World. The findings indicate that exposure to stigma can lead to a decrease in Belief in a Just World, which potentially leads to a sense of lack of control over one’s life, with a final, negative outcome for subjective well-being.

General Self Efficacy

The study was conducted to understand the relationship of general self-efficacy and two aspects of social support with cognitive and affective facets of subjective well-being in mothers of children having Down syndrome in contrast to mothers of typical children. Survey was conducted with mothers of two types of children (n = 89 each). Data were collected through Generalized Self-Efficay Scale (Schwarzer & Jerusalem, 1995), Social Support Questionnaire-Short Form (SSQ-6; Sarason, Sarason, Shearin, & Pierce, 1987), and Trait Well-Being Inventory (Dalbert, 1992). It was found that with higher level of perceived available social support, the mothers of children having Down syndrome were more satisfied with their life. Further, with higher self-efficacy and higher satisfaction with the social support, mothers of both types of children were more satisfied with their life and had better mood in general. Perceived available social support benefitted mothers of children having Down syndrome only, while, satisfaction with social support and self-efficacy were protective factors for subjective well-being of mothers, in general.
