The Relationship

As the popularity of smartphones grows, so does the number of people who are addicted to them. Although many studies have indicated that the various problems associated with smartphone addiction can negatively affect life satisfaction, this result is not absolute. This study surveyed 114 Chinese alumni of a Japanese university and analyzed the mediating effects of sleep quality and self-health on the relationship between smartphone addiction and life satisfaction.  Results indicated that smartphone addiction did not affect life satisfaction, neither directly nor indirectly through sleep quality and self-health. This finding was different from those of previous studies. In addition, the results indicated that smartphone addiction directly affects sleep quality, and that smartphone addiction can affect self-health either directly or indirectly through sleep quality. Based on this finding, we believe that intervention in the excessive use of smartphones is an effective means to improve the physical fitness of people.

This study investigated the impact of solution-focused thinking on marital satisfaction via mediating roles of father involvement in childcare and marital conflict. A questionnaire survey was conducted among mothers with infants, living in Busan, Daegu and Yangsan, South Korea. Data from 264 mothers were analyzed using several multiple regression analyses and bootstrapping method with SPSS 25.0 and PROCESS macro (model 6) to test the serial double mediation model. The results of this study are as follows. First, mothers’ solution-focused thinking had a significant direct and indirect positive influence on marital satisfaction through both father involvement in childcare and marital conflict. Second, the sequential mediating effects of father involvement in childcare and marital conflict were statistically significant in the relationship between solution-focused thinking and marital satisfaction. The model accounted for 60% of the variance in mothers’ marital satisfaction. The results highlight the importance of solution-focused thinking that can enhance the marital satisfaction of mothers with infants and act as a resource for increasing father involvement in childcare and decreasing marital conflict. Based on the results, it is necessary to include solution-focused thinking, father involvement in childcare, and marital conflict as key elements in the intervention to improve marital satisfaction of mothers with infants.

Abstract The importance of life satisfaction has been getting significant attention as the older population has increased rapidly. There are many studies to examine the relationship between older adults’ past and current lifestyles and life satisfaction levels that resulted to be either positively or negatively associated with. It is also well documented in the literature that aging is negatively associated with life satisfaction level due to the decrease in health capabilities. However, little study has been researched the direct and indirect relationships among advancing age, lifestyles, health capabilities, and life satisfaction levels. The purpose of the study was to examine the mediating effects of lifestyles and health capabilities on the relationship between aging and older adults’ life satisfaction levels. A total of 290 older adults completed the self-administered questionnaire of lifestyles and life satisfaction levels and their health capability assessments were evaluated at three clinical research centers in the U.S. Multiple regression test was utilized to analyze the data. The results showed the direct effects of advancing age [B =1.196, t=2.608, p=.010] and engagement in exercise or physical activity [B=-2.684, t=-3.071, p=.002] on life satisfaction levels among older adults. However, there were no mediating effects of lifestyles and health assessments on the relationship between age difference and life satisfaction levels among older adults. The results suggest the advancing age itself would be the strongest factor in older adults’ life satisfaction. Additionally, the findings also suggest that exercise and physical activity can enhance older adults’ life satisfaction levels as a supplemental factor.
