ABSTRAK Berbagai studi sebelumnya mengungkap bahwa ketika individu dapat menunjukkan perilaku yang berkontribusi terhadap pelestarian alam, dapat dikatakan bahwa individu tersebut memiliki subjective well-being (SWB) yang tinggi karena perilaku ekologi dikategorikan sebagai perilaku positif yang berkontribusi pada munculnya perasaan positif, seperti kebahagiaan dan kepuasan. Individu dengan SWB yang baik juga diketahui akan mampu menunjukkan perilaku pro-lingkungan karena perilaku tersebut bisa meningkatkan kualitas lingkungan hidup mereka yang secara timbal balik meningkatkan kepuasan hidup mereka. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara perilaku pro-lingkungan dan SWB pada masyarakat Jakarta, sebagai salah satu kota besar dengan tingkat masalah lingkungan yang tinggi. Penelitian ini diikuti oleh dua ratus sembilan belas responden yang merupakan warga Jakarta yang berusia 20-40 tahun dengan status sosial ekonomi menengah ke a ditunjukkan oleh pendapatan yang lebih besar dari biaya, dan kemampuan menabung. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, dapat disimpulkan bahwa tidak ada hubungan yang signifikan antara perilaku pro-lingkungan dengan SWB (r = 0,075; ρ = 0.268> 0.05). Temuan dari penelitian ini akan berguna untuk penelitian selanjutnya, terutama dalam mengukur faktor lain yang memprediksi perilaku pro-lingkungan pada masyarakat perkotaan, serta merancang intervensi yang tepat untuk memodifikasi perilaku pro-lingkungan mereka. Kata Kunci: Perilaku Pro-lingkungan, Subjective Well-being ABSTRACT Previous studies found that when individuals can demonstrate behaviors that contribute to nature preservation, it can be said that he has a high level of Subjective Well-being (SWB). It is because the ecological behavior is categorized as positive action which contributes to the emergence of the positive feelings, such as happiness and satisfaction. Vice versa, individual with good SWB found would be able to show pro-environmental behavior as it could improve the quality of their environment which reciprocally promotes their general life-satisfaction. However, study related to SWB and pro-environmental behavior in Indonesia has never been conducted before. Therefore this study aims to determine the relationship between pro-environmental behavior and SWB among Jakarta citizen. This study involved two hundred and nineteen Jakarta’s people aged 20-40 years old with middle socioeconomic status indicated by incomes, which is greater than expenses and saving ability. The results reflected that there was no significant relationship between pro-environmental behavior and SWB (r = 0.075, ρ=0268>0.05). This study provides a different insight into how to change urban society’s behavior to be more concerned about their environment. Findings from this study will be useful for subsequent research, particularly in assessing other factors associated with pro-environmental behavior, as well as designing appropriate interventions to modify their environmental behavior. Keywords: Pro-Environmental Behavior, Subjective Well-Being

Participants attending a festival(s) with children is a family activity that influences family relationships. This study examines the relationship between attending status (e.g., with or without children), event experience, subjective well-being, and family quality of life (FQOL). A total of 585 festival participants’ data analyzed by structural equation modeling (SEM) revealed that participants attending with children have a higher level of subjective well-being and FQOL compared to those without children. Participants attending with children have a higher level of cognitive engagement and experience novelty in festivals compared to those without children. Event experience results in a significant positive relationship with subjective well-being. This study expands current event literature in terms of FQOL and provides a practical guideline to event organizers to better understand the significance of festivals.

Abstract Data from N = 111 centenarians (M = 100.88; SD = 1.48) residing in Oklahoma was used to examine patterns in the relationship between the God oriented vs. non-God oriented longevity secrets and subjective well-being. Observational Oriented Modeling (OOM) was then used to conduct an ordinal analysis using concatenated ordering to produce degree of fitness between data and underlying patterns in life satisfaction and purpose-in-life across three time points. OOM is a data analysis method used to evaluate fitness of proposed patterns to data called PCC. Results indicated that centenarians maintaining a God-oriented longevity secret fit a decreased pattern in life satisfaction (PCC = 25.00, c-value = .09); whereas centenarians not maintaining a God-oriented longevity secret fit the same pattern (PCC = 49.18, c-value = .06). Meanwhile, centenarians having a God-oriented longevity secret fit a decreased pattern of purpose-in-life (PCC = 71.43, c-value =.12); whereas centenarians having a non-God oriented longevity secret fit the same pattern (PCC = 53.45, c-value = .28). In comparison to centenarians who acknowledged something other than God as the secret to their longevity, those who cite God as the reason for longevity tend to proportionately maintain a more satisfying view of life, yet experience a deteriorating sense of purpose over time. Results indicate that longevity secrets reflect divergent patterns in subjective well-being among persons living beyond 100 years. This has implications relative to how geriatric practitioners design interventions, services, or programs to enhance quality-of-life for long-lived adults.

Using egocentric network data from the University of California Social Networks Study (1,136 respondents; 11,536 alters), this study examines how difficult ties—an unexplored form of social negativity—are associated with well-being. Findings show that well-being is affected by the quality of the relationship rather than its presence in the network. Having a nondifficult partner is associated with lower loneliness compared to having no partner, but having no partner and having a difficult partner are related to similar levels of loneliness. Likewise, having difficult adult children and having no adult children are associated with reporting greater psychological distress than having nondifficult adult children. Consistent with the stress process model, the negative association of a difficult partner with well-being is buffered when that partner is otherwise supportive and when the other ties in the network are supportive. However, that association is amplified when the other ties are also difficult.

The relevance of the scientific problem and the scientific novelty are due to the social demand of society for studying problems related to the subjective well-being of people with disabilities. The focus of our attention is the psychological well-being of dyads in close relationships (romantic or marital). The aim of the study is to analyze the psychological well-being in a dyad of partners who are in close relationships. The article analyzes the characteristics inherent in close relations of couples in which one of the partners has a disability. Using the Scale of Adaptation and Cohesion (FACES-3)), the levels of adaptation and cohesion of the dyads were revealed. Methods Quality of life Enjoyment and Satisfaction Questionnaire examines quality of life and subjective well-being, assesses the degree of subjective satisfaction with emotional and social spheres, health, activity in free time. Particularly analyzed data of a semi-structured interview. Empirically revealed differences in the understanding of their own close relationships depending on the health status of the partner. Dyads, including partners with disabilities, demonstrate a high level of satisfaction, average cohesion values, partial balance. The study is complex, and now there is a clear prospect for its continuation.

In the long run economic growth does not improve people's well-being. Traditional theories – adaptation and social comparisons – explain this evidence, but they don't explain what shapes the trend of subjective well-being and its differences across countries. Recent research identified in social capital a plausible candidate to explain the trends of well-being. This dissertation adopts various econometric techniques to explore the relationship over time among social capital, economic growth and subjective well-being. The main conclusion is that social capital is a good predictor of the trend of subjective well-being, both within and across countries. Hence, policies for well-being should aim at preserving and enhancing social capital for the quality of the social environment matters.

Coronavirus stress with the restrictions and unexpected life changes has affected individuals and their satisfaction with life. This study aimed to examine the mediating role of optimism and hope on the relationship between coronavirus stress and subjective wellbeing among young adults in Turkey. A sample of 331 (M= 20.86 and 64% females) college students participated in this study. The results demonstrated that coronavirus stress was negatively associated with the college students’ sense of hope and optimism. Moreover, coronavirus stress had an indirect effect on subjective well-being through optimism and hope. Optimism and hope mitigated the adverse impacts of stress on well-being during the pandemic. These results indicated that young adults with a high level of stress due to coronavirus have lower optimism and hope, which in turn have less subjective well-being. The study findings hence highlight that being hopeful and optimistic are the potential resources to explain how coronavirus stress is related to subjective well-being.

Using the emotion-priming paradigm, we examined the neural mechanisms underlying the relationship between subjective well-being (SWB) and the processing of emotional stimuli by recording event-related potentials relevant to emotion probe words. The positive words were classified faster and more accurately by both low- and high-level SWB (very happy and not very happy) groups. Late positive potential (LPP) amplitudes elicited by emotional words were compared with words elicited in the neutral priming condition, and we found LPPs significantly reduced under the fear-inducing priming condition. This priming effect was more prominent in the group of participants who were not very happy, showing that, compared to the very happy group, these participants were more sensitive and subject to the influence of external stimuli (particularly negative emotional stimuli). The findings provide electrophysiological evidence for the relationship between SWB and emotion processing.

This study aimed at examining the effect of an employee's sense of psychological well-being at work and the quality of social work relationships (the relationship between colleagues and the relationship with superiors) on the level of job commitment; the study was conducted on 80 police officers working in the Police College (Qatar), four measures were used to measure study variables. The regression analysis results indicated a positive correlation between the sense of psychological well-being at work and career commitment to the high level of social relations at work. Note that this study makes a set of significant contributions to the Arab work environment, whether at the theory or practice level. The study's most important results indicate the necessity of giving social work relations the appropriate attention, given its significant role in several organizational and individual outputs, which departments are rarely interested in.
