The influence of realistic conflict perception and perceived economic level on the attitude of immigrant employees: focusing on the interaction effect of subjective well-being

Mental health or subjective well-being makes up an integral part of an individual's capacity to lead a fulfilling life, including the ability to form and maintain relationships ,to study ,work or pursue leisure interests and to make day- today decisions about educational , employment ,housing or other choices . Disturbances to an individual's mental wellbeing can adversely compromise these capacities and choices,leading not only to diminish functioning at the individual level but also broader welfare losses at the household and societal level.Social and psychological scientists have been studying something positive in the domain of subjective well-being – individual's evaluations and judgement of their own lives for about 50 years.(Keyes ,2006b).When factor analysed , studies showed that the manifold scales measuring subjective well-being present the latent structure of hedonic well-being (i.e, positive emotions towards one's life) or eudemonic well being (i.e positive psychological and social functioning in life;Keyes,Shmotkin & Ryff ,2002;McGregor &Little ,1998;Ryan & Deci ,2001).Against this backdrop the paper examines that educational courses as well as gender showed some impact upon mental health –the subjective well-being that constructed difference in the roles and responsibilities of male and female college students from post-graduation in Kolkata.Three hypotheses were formed. The findings spoke clearly about i a) Mental health varies according to the different educational course of the students.ib) Mental health varies according to the gender of the students ic) There is an impact of interaction between different educational courses and gender on mental health of the students.A two way ANOVA was conducted to find the interaction effect of educational courses and gender upon mental health of post graduate students studying in Kolkata. Results indicated a significant interaction effect of educational courses and gender upon mental health of the students group.

Abstract. Conflict avoidance increases across the adult lifespan. This cross-sectional study looks at conflict avoidance as part of a mechanism to regulate belongingness needs ( Sheldon, 2011 ). We assumed that older adults perceive more threats to their belongingness when they contemplate their future, and that they preventively react with avoidance coping. We set up a model predicting conflict avoidance that included perceptions of future nonbelonging, termed anticipated loneliness, and other predictors including sociodemographics, indicators of subjective well-being and perceived social support (N = 331, aged 40–87). Anticipated loneliness predicted conflict avoidance above all other predictors and partially mediated the age-association of conflict avoidance. Results suggest that belongingness regulation accounts may deepen our understanding of conflict avoidance in the second half of life.

Abstract. Research shows that engagement in leisure activities promotes well-being among older adults. The objective of the current study was to examine the relationship between subjective well-being (flourishing) and leisure activities (total number of different activities in the previous year) in a sample of older adults in Croatia, thereby considering the variables of sex, marital status, financial status, and self-perceived health. The differences in the examined variables between the groups of older adults who reported to be engaged in new activities with those who did not were also examined. The sample of N = 169 older adults aged 60 years and above was drawn from a convenience sample of adult internet users in Croatia. Participants reported their self-perceived health and the number of leisure activities they engaged in over the previous year as well as completing the Flourishing Scale. Hierarchical regression analyses indicated that older adults who were engaged in more various leisure activities, who perceived better financial status, and who were married reported higher levels of flourishing. A comparison of the two groups of older adults with and without engagement in leisure activities showed that those engaged in at least one leisure activity were more likely to be women, reported higher levels of flourishing, and perceived their own financial status as better. This study indicated that engaging in leisure activities in later life might provide beneficial effects for the well-being of older adults.

Underlying Processes

Whereas subjective well-being remains relatively stable across adulthood, emotional experiences show remarkable short-term variability, with younger and older adults differing in both amount and correlates. Repeatedly assessed affect data captures both the dynamics and stability as well as stabilization that may indicate emotion-regulatory processes. The article reviews (1) research approaches to intraindividual affect variability, (2) functional implications of affect variability, and (3) age differences in affect variability. Based on this review, we discuss how the broader literature on emotional aging can be better integrated with theories and concepts of intraindividual affect variability by using appropriate methodological approaches. Finally, we show how a better understanding of affect variability and its underlying processes could contribute to the long-term stabilization of well-being in old age.
