Sequence Types

Marriage has been linked to higher well-being. However, previous research has generally examined marital status at one point in time or over a relatively short window of time. In order to determine if different marital histories have unique impacts on well-being in later life, we conducted a marital sequence analysis of 7,532 participants from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (54.2% women; Mage = 66.68, SD = 8.50; 68.7% White/Caucasian). Three different marital sequence types emerged: a “consistently-married” group (79%), a “consistently-single” group (8%), and a “varied histories” group (13%), in which individuals had moved in and out of various relationships throughout life. The consistently-married group was slightly higher in well-being at the end of life than the consistently-single and varied histories groups; the latter two groups did not differ in their well-being. The results are discussed in the context of why marriage is linked to well-being across the lifespan.

Following western trends besides several Asian countries, Indonesian families are experiencing an increase numbers of single men and women which seems to ignore traditional standards ages of getting married for both gentlemen and ladies. Indonesian youth in this category are subjected to social pressure to marry, and this affect their subjective well-being.

The Individual

Well-being is multi-dimensional development goals because well-being can not be seen only from individual income, but also the entire condition such as health and education. Complexities in measuring well-being made economists try to measure the individual well-being with subjective well-being approach. One of subjective well-being’s variable is the happiness. This study aims to examine the factors determining the individual happiness in Indonesia. Those factors consist of per capita expenditure, personal assets, and individual characteristics, including yearly working hours, years of schooling, health status, marital status, age, and gender. This study uses logistic and probit regression. Object of this study is the individuals in household based on SUSENAS’s representation that was obtained from Indonesia Family Life Survey in 2007. This research found that income is stil being main determinant of individual happiness. Significant results also were found in the variables of schooling, health status, marital status, and u-shaped in age. From these results, increasing income through various sectors of the economy is needed to reach a higher level of well-being. Health and education should also receive support through infrastructure improvements. Thus, there will be more people that are able to improve their well-being.

Loneliness Scale

ABSTRACTBackground:Loneliness has been associated with physical and mental health problems. It has also been considered a serious social problem that increases the use and costs of health services. The most widely used instrument in Europe for measuring loneliness is the de Jong Gierveld Loneliness Scale (DJGLS). The aim of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of the 11-item DJGLS by means of the Rasch model, and its convergent and discriminant validity.Methods:Participants were a representative sample of Spanish community-dwelling adults aged 60 and older. We evaluated sociodemographic variables, health, social support, social activity, and subjective well-being measures.Results:Person and item fit statistics, and standardized residual principal component analysis revealed that the DJGLS was essentially unidimensional. However, we found DIF across marital status and living arrangements. Moderate to high associations were found between loneliness and depression, self-rated loneliness, positive and negative emotions, and satisfaction with life. The DJGLS differentiated between well known-groups according to gender, marital status, living arrangements, health, structural and functional aspects of social networks, and social activity.Conclusions:The DJGLS is a valid and reliable instrument for measuring loneliness in Spanish older adults. The addition of a few items in order to improve the measurement range is strongly recommended. Our findings are consistent with previous research indicating that loneliness is an important aspect of mental health and subjective well-being, and support the use of the scale to detect vulnerable population in old age.
