ObjectiveTo assess the impact of allergic diseases on the subjective well-being and life satisfaction of primary-school children.DesignPopulation-based cohort.SettingFinnish sample of children ages 10 and 12 from the International Survey of Children’s Well-Being.ParticipantsNationally representative sample of 1947 school children.Main outcome measureTwo different instruments to assess the child’s own perception of well-being, the short version of the Student Life Satisfaction Scale (SLSS) and the Brief Multidimensional Student Life Satisfaction Scale (BMSLSS).ResultsAltogether, 51.4% of children reported having at least one allergic condition (10.1% asthma, 23.8% eczema and 40.3% seasonal allergic rhinitis). A statistically significant distinction in life satisfaction emerged between non-allergic and allergic children (inferior in the latter). In particular, children with eczema were more likely to report a reduction in life satisfaction compared with non-allergic children (SLSS β=−128.220; BMSLSS β=−90.694; p<0.01). Apart from freedom from eczema, good life satisfaction was associated with a physically active lifestyle.ConclusionsActive allergic disease reduces the child’s own perception of well-being. During clinical visits, more attention should be paid to the child’s psychosocial status and impairments, which may differ substantially from those of parents or medical authorities.

Life Satisfaction Scale

Life Satisfaction is a significant indicator of subjective well-being. It is assessed as a single, global measure or as a reference related to important areas of life, such as family and work. Assessing life satisfaction in people with special needs and verifying how this construct correlates with demographic variables such as gender, age and schooling, for example, was the objective of this study. Data collection was performed through a questionnaire with a Life Satisfaction Scale. The sample consisted of 48 people from Juazeiro do Norte in Ceará, aged 14-71, mostly male (60.4%). The results revealed that in 70.9% of respondents believe that their life is close to ideal in most aspects and that 72.9% agree that they are satisfied with their lives as it is. 41.7% reported that the conditions of their lives are excellent. Men said they were more satisfied with life than women, as well as older people and more religious people. Conclusion: This study demonstrated that the loss of certain abilities, such as walking for example, does not seem to cause great changes in the feeling of life satisfaction in the studied population.

The paper describes both the process and the results of adaptation and providing validity evidence for the Russian version of two subscales (Satisfaction with School and Satisfaction with Friends) of Multidimensional Students’ Life Satisfaction Scale (sample of third-grade pupils, N = 1729). Thisquestionnaireisoneofthemostsignificantscalesin the history of studying subjective well-being in primary schoolworldwide, although it has not been adapted in Russia yet. Adaptation has been carried according to the International Test Commission Guidelines for Translating and Adapting Test. ValiditywasinterpretedaccordingtotheDutch Committee on Testing (COTAN)practice. Psychometric analysis included applying of Classical Test Theory, Confirmatory Factor Analysis and Item Response Theory methods. It revealed high psychometric quality of the adapted subscales after deletion of the very three items the other studies suggest as problematic.

State Holding Company makes a number of improvements, followed by a process of changes each year. This study was conducted to understand how the changes in the company affect the employees working in it and how the employees deal with the stress caused by such changes. The purpose of the study was to investigate the links between personnel work stress, subjective and psychological well-being of employees during changes in State Holding Company. The research undertakes issues such as: the levels of employee stress and subjective well-being, the levels of employee psychological well-being, links, if any, between subjective and psychological well-being and work stress, and the methods used in the research study. The survey was created with reference to works of other authors such as “Professional Life Stress Scale”, “Life Satisfaction Scale” and “Psychological Well-being Survey”. It was concluded that the employees had medium levels of stress, medium levels of life satisfaction, and medium levels of overall psychological well-being. There are statistically significant links between subjective well-being, psychological well-being and work stress. Recommendations were prepared for the Human Resources Department to reduce stress levels of personnel working and successful management of changes.

El Bienestar Subjetivo hace referencia a aquello que las personas perciben acerca de sus vidas, lo que en un estado de plenitud se llama felicidad; según Diener, (2000) este se experimenta cuando se sienten emociones agradables. De esta manera lo importante de la subjetividad es la propia evaluación de la vida y el reconocimiento de que el bienestar incluye elementos más allá de la prosperidad económica. Esta investigación pretende analizar a través de la metodología de encuesta, aplicando la escala de satisfacción con la vida de Diener, el bienestar subjetivo de una muestra de 324 estudiantes universitarios, de una población total de 972 jóvenes que cursan programas de pregrado en la Corporación Universitaria Antonio José de Sucre en el primer periodo del año 2015, teniendo como objetivo conocer en primera instancia su nivel de aceptación con la vida, al tiempo que permite tener una caracterización a fin de establecer estrategias para el mejoramiento del autoconcepto en los estudiantes, de esta manera se pudo evidenciar que el 44% los estudiantes manifiestan estar satisfechos con su existencia, sin embargo, el 8% se encuentra ligeramente por debajo de la media, un 3% se siente insatisfecho con su vida y un 1% está extremadamente insatisfecho con esta, lo que permite establecer que existen alertas ante situaciones de automotivación en los estudiantes.

The article is devoted to the study of factors influencing life satisfaction of teenagers raised in families as well as those raised in orphanages. Both groups are studied with regard to their self-attitude, self-confidence and relationships with significant adults. Sample: 96 teenagers aged between 14 and 16 years (46 of them live in or- phanages). Methods: Self-attitude methodology by S.R. Pantileev, Trust questionnaire by T.P. Skripkina, Child-parent relationships questionnaire by O.A. Karabanova and P.V. Troyanskaya, Life Satisfaction scale by E. Diner. The research proved the level of trust in orphanage-raised teenagers to be considerably lower than that of family-raised teenagers. The way teenagers see their relationships with significant adults also turned out to be fairly different in case of orphanage-raised groups due to their caregivers' authoritarian attitude towards them and lack of empathy and communication. The study also shows that the level of life satisfaction in the orphanage group is significantly below the average and substantially lower than in the group from family-raised teenagers. Positive self-attitude, person’s approval of his/ her intellectual capacities, as well as the caregiver's understanding of his pupil's features, are predictors of life satisfaction in the group of teenagers from orphanages. Concerning the family-raised teenagers, much more factors are involved in maintaining their subjective well-being. The research was supported by the Russian Foundation for Humanities (project № 16-06-00307а “Psycho-emotional well-being and ways of personality self-fulfillment in adolescent and adult periods of development”).

AbstractThe paper explores the association between social capital of young people at 12–13 years and their subjective well-being using Finland’s sub-sample of the third wave of the International Survey of Children’s Well-Being. Despite much previous research on this topic, relatively little knowledge is accumulated given that different studies define and measure social capital differently. In line with Robert Putnam, we understand social capital as a combination of social networks, trust, and norms of reciprocity. We measure well-being with two context-free scales: a one-dimensional overall life satisfaction scale and a five-dimensional Student’s life satisfaction scale. The analysis is done with linear and unconditional quantile regression. The results indicate that all three dimensions of social capital are significantly associated with well-being. Of the three, trust is the strongest predictor explaining over 30% of the variance in both well-being scales. The study demonstrates the relevance of considering all dimensions of social capital together to avoid unobserved variable bias. Quantile regression reveals that while social capital is important for well-being across the quantiles, it is particularly important for the youth who fare poorly otherwise. Family-related variables showed the strongest association with well-being while relationships with friends, schoolmates, teachers, and other people mattered considerably less.
