Increasingly, research on the aging process tends to adopt a dual perspective emic (specific to a culture) and etic (universal), requiring further studies to address this cross-cultural approach. The aim is to obtain an empirical answer to the question of whether a model of successful aging raised from a different context such as the Taiwanese context, is suitable to represent this process in our elders. The sample consisted of 737 elderly. Socio-demographic-data and different scales to assess life satisfaction, leisure, health, and social support were collected. A structural equation model taken from Lee et al. (2011), in which leisure, health and social support predicted life satisfaction, was tested. Results showed a proper fit. In particular, it was observed that, in the context of other factors theoretically influential -health and social support-, this new aspect of how older people manage their leisure time, although explanatory, is not such a determining factor as in the study of reference.

Exercise self-efficacy is a powerful predictor of physical activity behavior, which enhances health and well-being for older adults. Social relations have been proposed as influential precursors for exercise self-efficacy. In a longitudinal study of 160 older adults with osteoarthritis (76.9% women), the authors found that social support (but not social strain) significantly predicted exercise self-efficacy in a structural equation model examining cross-sectional data: χ2(178, N = 160) = 264.57, p < .01; RMSEA = .06; CFI = .92; TLI = .90. When data were examined longitudinally, however, social strain (but not social support) significantly predicted lower exercise self-efficacy 1 year later: χ2(233, N = 160) = 288.64, p < .01; RMSEA = .04; CFI = .96; TLI = .95. Results support the negativity effect, suggesting that social strain might be the more potent aspect of social relations and should be the target of interventions.

Responsible Consumption

Se presenta un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales que predice en un 66% el comportamiento típicamente no violento a partir de la interacción de los factores consumo responsable de alcohol, el afrontamiento enfocado al problema, la búsqueda de soporte social, la autoculpa, la fantasía, el bienestar subjetivo, el apoyo social percibido, y el pesimismo; a su vez, el modelo puede predecir con una confiabilidad del 43% el consumo responsable de alcohol a partir de la interacción de los factores edad, percepción de acontecimientos estresantes, bienestar subjetivo, comportamiento típicamente no violento, sesgo optimista no realista, afrontamiento evitativo y pesimismo, con una muestra de 431 adolescentes escolarizados(X = 15,45 años, de= 1,39). Si bien el estudio no pretende ser concluyente, visibiliza la importancia de reconocer los factores psicosociales protectores en el diseño e implementación de programas de promoción y prevención asociadas al consumo responsable de alcohol y de conducta no violenta con adolescentes desde una perspectiva salutogénica. Los hallazgos y nuevos abordajes son discutidos. AbstractIs presented a structural equation model which predicted with an effectiveness 66% the typically not violent behavior through the interaction of the factors responsible drinking, problem-focused coping, seeking social support, self-blame, fantasy, subjective wellbeing, perceived social support, and pessimism; likewise, the model can predict with a likelihood of 43% the responsible alcohol consumption through the interaction between age, perceptions of stressful events, subjective wellbeing, typically not violent behavior, unrealistic optimism bias, avoidant coping and pessimism, with a sample of 431 adolescent students (X = 15.45 years, SD = 1.39). Although the study is not intended to be conclusive, makes visible the importance of recognize the protective psychosocial factors in the design and implementation of health promotion and prevention programs related to responsible drinking and non-violent behavior with adolescents within a salutogenic perspective. The findings and new approaches are discussed.

Customer satisfaction (CS) is an important factor determining the success of online clothing shopping. This document tries to analyze factors affecting CS towards online clothing shopping through a systematic study, in a bid to help online clothing retailers improve CS for higher sales. Based on the social support theory, the authors created a model of factors affecting CS towards online clothing shopping and conducted a questionnaire survey to obtain customer feedback, which was then analyzed through a structural equation model. The analysis results indicate that sensory experience (SE), quality experience (QE), trust (TR), and recommendation (RE) exerted favorable effects on CS towards online clothing shopping, and CS, as a mediating variable, affected customer loyalty (CL), and purchase intention (PI) positively.

The Social

This study examines the antecedents of social commerce intention by conceptualizing a model that includes two exogenous variables; relationship quality and social support, and an endogenous variable; social commerce, along with a mediation effect of relationship quality and moderation effect of cultures. This research model is tested by survey data collected in the United States and Korea, analyzed by a structural equation model. The results reveal that relationship quality generates the social commerce intention through commitment, satisfaction and trust, and becomes a maiden study with its mediating effect on social commerce intention. Social commerce intention is highly representative of social sharing and social shopping on social media. The social support is measured through emotional and informational support, proving to be a stronger predictor of relationship quality and social commerce intention. In addition, social support articulates differences in respect to the cultural differences. The model offers valuable insights to researchers and practitioners that aims to improve social commerce intention.

Adolescence is a stage characterized by many biological and psychosocial changes, all of which may result in a decrease in subjective well-being. It is therefore necessary to identify those factors that contribute to increased life satisfaction, in order to promote positive development among young people. The aim of this study is to examine the dynamics of a set of variables that contribute to life satisfaction. A total of 1,188 adolescents (aged between 12 and 16 years) completed the Perceived Social Support from Family and Friends and Perception of the School Environment Questionnaires, the Trait Meta Mood Scale (TMMS), Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale-10 (CD-RISC), and Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) for social support, emotion regulation, resilience, and life satisfaction. By applying structural equation modeling (SEM), the results reveal a direct prediction of family support, emotion regulation, and resilience on life satisfaction. Support from friends and emotion regulation was also found to explain resilience, and support from family and teachers was found to predict emotion regulation. In conclusion, emotion regulation and social support were found to indirectly affect life satisfaction among adolescents through resilience. The theoretical and practical implications of these results are discussed.
