PURPOSE: This study aimed to examine the associations between participation in physical education (PE) classes and the psychological well-being and sleep satisfaction of Korean adolescents.METHODS: Cross-sectional data from 127,804 Korean adolescents (aged 12–18 years) who participated in the 2016 and 2017 Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Surveys (KYRBS) were analyzed. The exploratory variable was the frequency of participation in PE classes every week, while the dependent variables included the psychological well-being and sleep satisfaction, as assessed by the KYRBS questionnaire. Sex- and grade-stratified logistic regression analyses were conducted to generate the odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CI).RESULTS: Overall 16.9% of adolescents reported that they did not participate in PE classes while 33.0% reported participating for more than three times a week. After adjusting for the academic achievements, family’s economic status, consumption frequency of breakfast and highly caffeinated drinks, and physical activity level, a greater participation in the PE classes was found to be associated with happiness in a dose-response fashion in both sexes and grades (p<.05). As for stress, participation in the PE classes for more than three times a week was associated with less/no stress in boys (OR: 1.16, 95% CI: 1.02–1.31, p<.05) and high school students (OR: 1.22, 95% CI: 1.03–1.44, p<.05). Moreover, greater participation in the PE classes was associated with a lower odds of reporting sleep satisfaction in a linear fashion among high school students.CONCLUSIONS: More frequent participation in PE classes was associated with the psychological well-being and sleep satisfaction in a large sample of Korean adolescents. Increasing the number of mandatory PE sessions is a promising strategy for promoting the psychological well-being of Korean adolescents.

The present study examined the relationship between family functioning and resilience on the psychological well-being (PWB) in high school students. A cross-sectional study was conducted using multiple linear regression for prediction and descriptive statistical analysis in five Indonesian high school students. A total of 341 high school students participated in the study, completing three validated self-administered questionnaires. Statistical analysis revealed that greater family functioning was associated with higher PWB. A significant relationship between resilience and PWB was found in this cohort. This study showed that to maintain healthy mental well-being, developing resilience and family functioning is vital for high school students. More emphasis may be placed on the possible role of resilience training and other kinds of family functioning and coping strategies in dealing with the unavoidable causes of stress in public high schoolers.

Earlier research indicates that physical education (PE) in school is associated with positive outcomes (e.g., healthy lifestyle, psychological well-being, and academic performance). Research assessing associations with resilience and thriving indicators, such as the 5Cs of Positive Youth Development (PYD; competence, confidence, character, caring, and connection) is limited and more so in the Norwegian context. The aim of the present study was to investigate associations between PE grade (reflecting students’ effort in theoretical and practical aspects of the subject) and the 5Cs as well as healthy behaviors (physical activity (PA), fruit and vegetable consumption), using cross-sectional data collected from 220 high school students in Norway (Mage = 17.30 years old, SD = 1.12; 52% males). Results from structural equation modelling indicated positive associations between PE grade and four of the 5Cs (competence, confidence, caring, and connection; standardized coefficient: 0.22–0.60, p < 0.05) while in logistic regressions, a unit increase in PE grade was associated with higher likelihood of engaging in PA and vegetable consumption (OR = 1.94; 95% CI = 1.18–3.18 and OR = 1.68; 95% CI = 1.08–2.63, respectively). These significant findings suggest the need for policies and programs that can support effective planning and implementation of PE curriculum. However, further research is needed to probe into the role of PE on youth health and development with representative samples and longitudinal designs.

The possible relationships among creativity, intelligence, and self actualization were examined in 208 high school students to determine whether or not consistent self actualization scores existed for subjects high in the first two variables. Students high in both creativity and intelligence had significantly higher scores in self actualization than those obtained by students high in either creativity or intelligence. No significant difference in self actualization was found between students high in creativity only and those high in intelligence only. The results were interpreted as indicating that educational systems should stress both intellectual and creative abilities to achieve the highest level of psychological well being in students.

Pendekatan yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini ialah pendekatan kuantitatif dengan jenis korelasional. Sampel yaitu 356 peserta didik SMA Negeri di Jakarta Barat (132 laki-laki dan 224 perempuan), usia 15-17 tahun, memiliki saudara kandung. Penentuan sampel menggunakan teknik multistage random sampling. Pengumpulan data menggunakan angket adaptasi, Sibling Relatonship Questionnaire (SRQ) yang disusun oleh Furman dan Buhrmester (1990) sebanyak 48 item dan Scale of Psychological Well-Being (SPWB) milik Ryff (1989) sebanyak 84 item. Uji validitas menggunakan expert judgement dan uji coba instrumen dengan rumus Person’s Product Moment. Uji reliabilitas menggunakan rumus Alpha Cronbach dengan SPSS v.25, diperoleh koefisien reliabilitas SRQ sebesar 0,916 dan SPWB sebesar 0,669. Teknik analisis data menggunakan Pearson’s Product Moment dan hipotesisnya diuji dengan One-Way ANOVA menggunakan program SPSS v.25. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dimensi warmth berpengaruh secara positif terhadap kesejahteraan psikologis peserta didik (0,178 > 0,05), dimensi relative power berpengaruh secara positif terhadap kesejahteraan psikologis peserta didik (0,109 > 0,05), dimensi conflict berpengaruh secara negatif terhadap kesejahteraan psikologis peserta didik (-0,105 > 0,05) dan dimensi rivalry memiliki pengaruh negatif terhadap kesejahteraan psikologis peserta didik (-0,114 > 0,05). Hasil uji hipotesis ANOVA menunjukkan bahwa Fhitung > Ftabel atau 4,786 > 2,39, dengan demikian sibling relationship secara keseluruhan memiliki pengaruh yang berbeda terhadap kesejahteraan psikologis peserta didik SMA Negeri di Jakarta Barat. Namun, berdasarkan hasil Pearson Correlation dibandingkan dengan tabel koefisien korelasi, didapati bahwa pengaruh yang terjadi dari masing-masing dimensi pada sibling relationship terhadap kesejahteraan psikologis peserta didik sangat rendah. Uji Tukey HSD juga menunjukkan bahwa hanya dimensi rivalry yang memiliki pengaruh berbeda dengan ketiga dimensi lainnya (warmth, relative power, conflict) terhadap kesejahteraan psikologis peserta didik SMA Negeri di Jakarta Barat.   This study aims to determine the difference in affect of dimensions of sibling relationship (warmth, relative power, conflict and rivalry) on psychological well-being in senior high school students at West Jakarta.
