Abstract.SOCIO AFFECTIVE VARIABLES AND THE EFFICIENCY IN TEACHINGIt is evident that there is a high rate of discomfort in the teaching profession. Different types of variables (individual, social and organizational) influence teachers, causing them to face many situations with high uncertainty. The consequences are chronic work stress, burnout syndrome, and burnout and mobbing. Maslach and Jackson (1981) establish criteria for the evaluation of this syndrome. In 1996 the MBI-GS Scale was built by Schaufeli, Leiter, Maslach and Jackson to measure burnout in all types of work regardless of the tasks performed in it. It was adapted to the Spanish version by Salanova, Schaufeli, Llorens, Grau and Peiró, in the year 2000. The MBI-GS consists of three dimensions: exhaustion, cynicism and professional efficiency. On the other hand, in the last years many studies are using the theoretical framework of the Mental Molds, as an explanatory factor of the human behavior in different areas. This theory allows to evaluate in an operative way the different ways of understanding the world and the life, and with high predictive validity, being able to predict the adaptation or the subjective well-being, the success or the failure of the general schooling, the mathematics or the chess In greater proportion than CI or other indicator (Hernández, 2005, Hernández-Guanir and Rodríguez-Mateo, 2006). This study aims to explore those socio-affective variables that may be related to the factors that define the wearer’s syndrome. It starts with the idea that in order to be an effective teacher it is necessary that the individual has a series of mental molds that support him in his daily professional work. To this end, this study was carried out in a secondary school with a sample of 40 teachers who have been evaluated with the help of two instruments: the MBI-GS and the Test of Cognitive-Emotional Strategies MOLDS (Hernández-Guanir, 2010). The results support the initial hypotheses that mark a positive correlation between the socio-affective variables of teachers and their effectiveness as teachers. Several linear regressions have also been performed, the results of which show that it is possible to obtain exploratory predictive models of two dimensions of the MBI-GS (cynicism and efficacy) through the most significant models that the model gives, confirming the predictivevalidity Of the theory of Mental Molds.Key words: affective partner variables, teaching effectiveness, supervision, Mental Molding, burnout.Resumen.Es evidente que existe un alto índice de malestar en la profesión docente. Diferentes tipos de variables (individuales, sociales y organizacionales) influyen en el profesorado haciendo que éste se tenga que enfrentar a muchas situaciones con alta incertidumbre. Las consecuencias son el estrés laboral crónico, el síndrome de desgaste profesional, o burnout y el mobbing. Maslach y Jackson (1981) establecen unos criterios de evaluación de dicho síndrome. En el año 1996 se construyó la Escala MBI-GS por Schaufeli, Leiter, Maslach y Jackson para medir burnout en todo tipo de trabajos independientemente de las tareas que en él se realicen. Fue adaptada a la versión española por Salanova, Schaufeli, Llorens, Grau y Peiró, en el año 2000. El MBI-GS se compone por tres dimensiones: agotamiento, cinismo y eficacia profesional. Por otro lado, en los últimos años son muchos los estudios que están utilizando el marco teórico de los Moldes Mentales, como factor explicativo de la conducta humana en distintos ámbitos. Esta teoría permite evaluar de forma operativa las distintas formas de entender el mundo y la vida, y con alta validez predictiva, siendo capaz de predecir la adaptación o el bienestar subjetivo, el éxito o el fracaso de la escolaridad general, las matemáticas o el ajedrez en mayor proporción que el CI u otro indicador (Hernández, 2005; Hernández-Guanir y Rodríguez-Mateo, 2006). Este estudio tiene como finalidad explorar aquellas variables socio afectivas que pueden estar relacionadas con los factores que definen el síndrome de desgaste profesional. Se parte con la idea de que para ser un docente eficaz es necesario que el individuo cuente con una serie de moldes mentales que lo sustenten en su labor profesional diaria. Para ello, se ha llevado a cabo este estudio en un centro educativo de secundaria, con una muestra de 40 docentes a los que se les ha valorado con la ayuda de dos instrumentos: el MBI-GS y el Test de Estrategias Cognitivo-emocionales MOLDES (Hernández-Guanir, 2010). Los resultados apoyan las hipótesis iniciales que marcan una correlación positiva entre las variables socio afectivas del profesorado y su eficacia como docentes. También se han realizado diversas regresiones lineales múltiples cuyos resultados muestran que es posible obtener modelos predictivos exploratorios de dos de las dimensiones del MBI-GS (cinismo y eficacia) a través de los moldes más significativos que arroja el modelo, lo que confirma la validez predictiva de la teoría de los Moldes Mentales.Palabras clave: variables socio afectivas, eficacia docente, supervisión, Moldes Mentales, burnout.

Basic Psychological Needs Satisfaction

We linked self-determination theory and prosociality, and explored the mediating role of three dimensions of basic psychological needs satisfaction, namely, competence, autonomy, and relatedness, in the relationship between prosocial tendencies and subjective well-being. We explored these relationships using a cross-sectional research design with 1,106 Chinese adults. Results show that the public prosocial tendencies of men (vs. women) were higher, and competence, autonomy, and relatedness mediated the positive relationship between prosocial tendencies and subjective well-being. The indirect effect of relatedness was stronger than those of competence and autonomy, demonstrating the importance of relatedness in a collectivistic society like China. Our findings deepen understanding of the underlying mechanisms between prosociality and subjective well-being as mediated by basic psychological needs satisfaction, and may encourage people to engage in prosocial behavior.

Previous research investigated the linkage between the Dark Triad traits and subjective well-being, but the factors explaining individual differences in terms of cognitive strategies for achieving happiness remained poorly understood. This study (N = 460) examined the indirect effects of orientations to happiness in the link between dark personality traits and subjective well-being in terms of life satisfaction and positive emotion. Participants completed a questionnaire comprising the Dark Triad Questionnaire, the Orientations to Happiness scale, the Satisfaction with Life scale, and the PANAS. Descriptive statistics, bivariate and partial correlations, and structural equation model were applied to the data. Zero-order and partial correlations showed no significant associations of Machiavellianism and psychopathy with subjective well-being measures, and positive associations of narcissism with the three orientations to happiness and the two dimensions of subjective well-being. Indirect effects indicated that the bright side of narcissism sought the pursuit of the emotional component of SWB by adopting engaging activities. Further studies should replicate our findings.

The Impact

This study examined the impact of compensation management on academic staff's employee well-being in private universities in Uganda during the COVID-19 lockdown. Two dimensions of compensation management considered were compensation determination and compensation administration. Employee well-being was studied in terms of psychological well-being, social well-being, workplace well-being and subjective well-being. This study used a cross-sectional design on a sample of academic staff from five private universities.  Factor analysis was used to identify key items of compensation management and employee well-being, followed by descriptive, correlation and multiple regression analyses. Multiple regression analysis assessed the magnitude and strength of the impact of compensation management on employee well-being. The results supported the hypotheses on the influence of compensation determination and administration on employee well-being. Therefore, compensation determination and administration are important in enhancing the academic staff's well-being in private universities in contingent situations such as COVID-19 lockdown. In managing compensation issues in contingent situations, managers of private universities should determine and administer compensation considering employees' interests. This study adds to the scanty literature on compensation management and employee well-being. It identifies compensation management factors that organisations should consider to promote employee well-being in contingent situations.

The Relationship

This study aims to determine the relationship between gratitude and subjective well-being of parents who have mentally retarded children in SLB Negeri 2 Padang. The measuring instrument in this research is a psychological scale that reveals aspects of the research in the form of statement items. Data were collected using two scales, namely the thankful scale and the subjective welfare scale. The scale of gratitude is referred to from Al-Ghazali's theory whose operation is based on the interpretation of the verses concerning gratitude. Whereas the scale of subjective well-being is referred to from the theory of diener which states that subjective well-being consists of two dimensions, namely affective and cognitive. The subjects in this study were parents who have mental retardation children in SLB Negeri 2 Padang, amounting to 83 people. The data collection technique in this research is to use simple random sampling which means that each subject has the same opportunity to be chosen. The results of the correlation analysis showed a relationship between gratitude and subjective well-being among parents who have intellectual disabilities in SLB Negeri 2 Padang. The correlation coefficient of the results of data analysis amounted to 0.156 (rxy = 0.516 p 0.05). The general description of the research data shows that the thankful level of parents of mentally retarded children is included in the high criteria with a percentage of 56% and the high subjective well-being of mentally retarded children at 62%. This means that the mentally retarded child's parents are able to be enthusiastic in educating their children and accepting their child's condition gracefully.

Abstract: Introduction: The presence of chronic stress, caused by the activities and demands of the medical course, can lead to what is called ‘burnout’, a syndrome characterized by three dimensions: emotional exhaustion, dehumanization (or depersonalization) and reduced professional achievement. Considering the increased incidence of burnout syndrome, anxiety and depression symptoms, suicide attempts and suicide rates among medical students, as a consequence of increasing demands for professional and financial success at the expense of physical and mental health, one understands the importance of studying the subject and proposing measures of prevention and control. The aim of this study was to evaluate and describe the levels of burnout and well-being of medical students at a Brazilian public university. Method: The stress and well-being levels of students from the first to the sixth year for the Medical Course at Universidade Federal de São Paulo were evaluated using MBI-SS and WHOQOL-BREF questionnaires, applied online on the REDCAP platform. Results: A total of 302 students completed the questionnaires. Regarding the MBI-SS, students showed a low value in the emotional exhaustion factor and high levels of professional disbelief and effectiveness, indicating a burnout that ranged from low to moderate. It was also observed that female students showed a greater tendency toward emotional exhaustion when compared to male ones, as well as the fact that students from the 1st and 2nd years showed higher values of professional effectiveness when compared with 3rd and 4th years, with no difference between genders. Based on the answers from WHOQUOL-BREF questionnaire, the students thought they had a good quality of life. Discussion: These results reinforce possible factors that might interfere with the students’ quality of life: excessive workload, teaching model based on extensive lectures, lack of stimulation, recognition for their efforts. Conclusion: The medical students evaluated in this study have a good quality of life and show low or moderate burnout levels.

Boredom Proneness

Even though boredom has been shown to be a distinct emotional experience that is prevalent among youth and that predicts a wide range of personal and societal problems, it remains often overlooked and poorly understood. Therefore, based on the Flemish data from the 2018 edition of the International Survey of Children’s Well-Being, this article studies boredom proneness among young adolescents (average age = 12 years). Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the short version of the Boredom Proneness Scale–Child Version contains two dimensions referring to internal—a difficulty in keeping oneself interested and entertained—and external stimulation—the need for change and variety in the situations one encounters. Subsequent regression analyses demonstrated that both boredom proneness and social conditions predict aspects of subjective well-being (i.e., leisure boredom and life satisfaction). Our analyses revealed complex interactions between individual differences and social conditions with respect to aspects of well-being.

PurposeOn the basis of an attachment style perspective, the authors explored a moderated mediation model in which career satisfaction reduces employees' turnover intention by enhancing subjective well-being; this mediated relationship would be moderated by three dimensions of attachment style as follows: secure, counterdependent and overdependent.Design/methodology/approachData were collected from 192 employees in South Korea and hypotheses were tested using multiple regression analysis and the PROCESS macro for SPSS.FindingsSubjective well-being mediated the relationship between career satisfaction and turnover intention. The indirect relationship between career satisfaction and turnover intention through subjective well-being was significant only when employees had high-secure attachment and low-counterdependent and -overdependent attachment styles.Practical implicationsOn the basis of the authors' findings that not all employees' subjective well-being translates into a lower level of turnover intention despite being satisfied with their career, the study suggests that organizations should pay more attention to how the subjective well-being of employees can be enhanced in relation to their career by considering their attachment styles.Originality/valueThe study contributes to deepening the understanding of the mechanism of when and how career satisfaction reduces turnover intention by integrating subjective well-being and attachment styles that have been neglected in prior research.

The present research aimed to organize the array of Facebook activities by proposing a framework that comprises two dimensions: mode of Facebook communication and motive of Facebook use.  Our research also aimed to address the less explored issue of users’ appraisals in addition to their Facebook use.  A new measure, the Facebook Use and Satisfaction Scale, was constructed. Among 155 undergraduates (43% men, mean age = 21.02 years), the results indicated that satisfaction with both private and public social communication was positively linked with positive affect but not negative affect.  More importantly, satisfaction with private social communication explained 9% of the variance in positive affect beyond that explained by perceived peer support.  These results point to the utility of the proposed two-dimensional framework in the study of Facebook satisfaction.

AbstractBased on a large sample of survey data collected from 12 Chinese provinces, municipalities directly under the central government and autonomous regions in the western regions of China, this article discusses the subjective well-being of the residents of all ethnic groups in the western regions, along the two dimensions of economic development and social integration. The results show that the overall subjective well-being of all ethnic groups in Western China is good, and the percentage of people who indicated that they often feel happy is generally higher than the percentage of those who often feel unhappy. The residents of ethnic minority status such as the Huis and the Uyghurs experience good subjective well-being more often than residents of other ethnic groups. Microscopic indicators, such as the level of household income, and macroscopic indicators, such as the level of regional economic development, can exert significant positive impacts on the subjective well-being of residents from various ethnic groups. In addition, emotional integration, trust-based integration, and integration through communication—as important variables of social identity and social acceptance—can also have significant positive impacts on improving the subjective well-being of residents of all ethnic groups. The article concludes that, for the residents of all ethnic groups living in the less developed western regions of China, economic development and increased income remain the key means of improving the subjective well-being, and promoting inter-ethnic interactions and strengthening social integration are also positive methods of effectively improving the subjective well-being.

AbstractGrit, which refers to perseverance and passion to pursue long-term goals, has been highlighted as a predictor of better life outcomes, including subjective well-being. For grit to be useful for well-being research, we need to know more about its properties across cultures and determine whether it has a relationship to well-being outcomes beyond other existing psychological measures. Using survey data from the United States and South Korea (N = 1008), this study examines the measurement of grit across cultures as having two dimensions: perseverance of effort and consistency of interest. It then explores the distinctive utility of grit in explaining an individual’s subjective well-being beyond well-established psychological measures such as conscientiousness and sense of control. The results show that gritty people report better subjective well-being; this positive relationship between grit and subjective well-being is largely driven by the perseverance dimension of grit. This dimension accounts for a unique variance in subjective well-being beyond the sense of control in both country samples and variance beyond conscientiousness in the US sample. By contrast, the consistency dimension of grit adds little to our understanding of subjective well-being in either country. Relying on the global grit score, which aggregates the scores of the two dimensions, may obscure the unique role of the perseverance dimension in understanding subjective well-being.
