Theoretically, neoliberalism is acknowledged as a powerful, discursive mode of governmentality, whose key tenets widely influence sociological discourses around the role of money in attaining quality of life and happiness. However, few studies qualitatively reflect in any detail on how neoliberalism is implicated in the making of particular subjectivities. In this comparative study, participants from different income contexts (middle and low income, and downshifters) are interviewed about money meanings with attention to the particular ways of living they narrate. The findings attest to participant adoption of, and/or resistance to, lay forms of neoliberalism in the ordering of their subjectivities around key themes: life values, life goals, monetary boundaries and future understandings. Their stories show the prevalence of the neoliberal subject and clarify the practical limits of neoliberal discourses, as well as demonstrating how moral alternatives to neoliberalism can transform self-understanding and practice.

Kualitas hidup merupakan aspek yang penting dalam kehidupan, terlebih lagi untuk perempuan yang telah menjadi ibu. Regulasi emosi merupakan strategi yang dilakukan untuk merespon emosi yang terjadi. Secara teoritis regulasi emosi dapat dikatakan berperan untuk menentukan kualitas hidup, namun penelitian menemukan hasil berbeda, dimana hubungan kedua variabel tersebut dinyatakan cukup lemah. Work life balance merupakan keadaan ketika seseorang dapat menyeimbangkan perannya sebagai pekerja dan di dalam keluarga. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat peran regulasi emosi terhadap kualitas hidup dengan work life balance sebagai mediator. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah para perempuan peran ganda, yang memiliki aktivitas keseharian, selain menjadi ibu dan istri di dalam keluarga. Teknik pengambilan sampel yang digunakan adalah purposive sampling dengan jumlah sampel sebanyak 400 orang perempuan peran ganda. Penelitian ini menggunakan tiga alat ukur, yaitu World Health Organizational Quality of Life (WHOQOL-BREF), Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) dan Work Life Balance Scale (WLBS). Pengujian model penelitian dilakukan dengan menggunakan Path Analysis Structural Model menggunakan LISREL 8.80. Hasil pengujian model menunjukan bahwa work life balance dapat berperan sebagai mediator dengan nilai (p-value>0.05) yaitu p-value 1.000 sehingga model dapat dikatakan berada pada kategori good fit. Hasil nilai standardized solution untuk peran regulasi emosi terhadap kualitas hidup yang awalnya sebesar 0.10 juga mengalami peningkatan menjadi 0.1224. Sehingga dapat mengindikasikan bahwa peranan regulasi emosi terhadap kualitas hidup akan lebih besar, ketika para perempuan peran ganda memiliki work life balance. Quality of life is an important aspect of life, especially for women who have become mothers. Emotion regulation is a strategy undertaken to respond to emotions that arise. Theoretically, emotional regulation can be said to play a role in determining the quality of life, however, studies found different results, where the relationship between the two variables was stated to be quite weak. Work-life balance is a condition when a person can balance their role as a worker and in the family. Therefore, this study aims to look at the role of emotion regulation on quality of life with work-life balance as a mediator. The population in this study are dual role women, who have daily activities, besides being mothers and wives in the family. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling with a total sample of 400 dual role women. This research uses three measuring instruments, namely World Health Organizational Quality of Life (WHOQOL-BREF), Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) and Work Life Balance Scale (WLBS). Research model testing was done using the Path Analysis Structural Model using LISREL 8.80. The model testing result shows that work life balance can act as a mediator with (p-value> 0.05), which is p-value 1,000, that the model can be said to be in the good fit category. The results of the standardized solution for the role of emotion regulation on the quality of life which was originally at 0.10 also increased to 0.1224. It indicates that the role of emotion regulation on quality of life will be greater, when dual role women have work-life balance.
