Turkish University Students

I evaluated the predictive effects of subjective happiness, forgiveness, and ruminative thought style on life satisfaction with a sample of 380 Turkish university students aged between 18 and 25 years. Participants completed the Satisfaction with Life Scale, the Subjective Happiness Scale, the Trait Forgiveness Scale, and the Ruminative Thought Style Scale. Results of correlation and multiple regression analyses revealed that forgiveness and subjective happiness were positively correlated with life satisfaction, and rumination was negatively correlated with life satisfaction. The multiple regression analyses also showed that subjective happiness and forgiveness positively predicted life satisfaction, and rumination negatively predicted life satisfaction. Results are discussed in light of the related literature.

<p>La promoción de actividad física diaria en los jóvenes tal como el desplazamiento activo al colegio (usar medios de transporte activos tales como andar o bicicleta), puede tener importantes beneficios para la salud. El objetivo fue analizar la asociación entre el desplazamiento activo al colegio y variables de salud positiva y estrés en niños españoles. Participaron 366 niños (172 niñas) procedentes de cuatro colegios, entre los 7 y los 11 años de edad (media±DT 9,3±0,8<strong> </strong>años). Se utilizó un cuestionario semanal sobre el modo de desplazamiento al colegio que ha sido previamente sugerido en la literatura científica denominado <em>Modo y frecuencia de desplazamiento hacia y desde el colegio</em>. La felicidad subjetiva,<em> </em>el estado de bienestar subjetivo de tipo cognitivo y afectivo, el optimismo disposicional y el estrés se evaluaron con los cuestionarios de versión en castellano de <em>Subjective Happiness Scale,</em> <em>Satisfaction with Life Scale </em>y<em> Positive and Negative Affect Schedule </em>respectivamente. El desplazamiento activo al colegio se asocia de forma inversa con el estrés (ß =-0,235±0,079, <em>p</em>=,004) ajustando por sexo, edad y nivel de estudios de la madre. Los niños que se desplazan con mayor frecuencia de forma activa al colegio tienen un menor nivel de estrés. Son necesarias medidas que fomenten el desplazarse de forma activa al colegio, por los beneficios positivos que tiene sobre la salud física y emocional, vislumbrándose como una posibilidad de encauzar adecuadamente el estrés en los niños españoles.</p>

Bivariate Correlation

The present study aimed at determining the association between life satisfaction and subjective happiness while controlling for social desirability, and to explore whether overall satisfaction with life can be predicted by satisfaction with life dimensions while controlling for social desirability. The study had a quantitative, non-experimental cross-sectional design, with 279 participants from different universities of the Council of Rectors of Chile recruited through a non-probabilistic sampling method for convenience. The participants completed an online questionnaire that inquired about their global and dimensional satisfaction with life, subjective happiness, social desirability, and sociodemographic variables. The data was analysed using partial correlations and multiple regression analyses. Bivariate correlation results indicate weak and direct associations between social desirability and life satisfaction and subjective happiness, and a strong and direct association between the latter. According to the results of the partial correlation analysis, the association between life satisfaction and subjective happiness is maintained even when social convenience is controlled. The results of the multiple regression analyses indicate that although social desirability predicts life satisfaction by itself, when satisfaction with life dimensions is added to the model, social desirability loses its predictive power. In conclusion, although social desirability is associated with the two components, affective and cognitive, of subjective well-being, this association loses predictive power when other variables are considered in predictive models.

AbstractThe Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) is a measure widely used to assess life satisfaction. This paper aims to test its psychometric properties, factor structure, and distribution scores across age, gender, education, and employment status. For this purpose, a representative sample of the Spanish population (N = 2,964) was used. Although analyses showed no significant differences across age or gender, participants with higher education level and those who held an occupation were more satisfied with their lives. Confirmatory factor analysis revealed a unifactorial structure with significant correlations between the SWLS, and subjective happiness and social support. The internal consistency of the scale was .88. Thus, our results indicate that the Spanish version of the SWLS is a valid and reliable measure of life satisfaction within the Spanish context.

  Perpisahan dalam jangka panjang yang dialami oleh remaja dan orang tua yang merupakan pekerja migran dapat membuat kualitas hubungan yang terjalin mengalami perubahan dan tidak lagi menjadi dekat. Ketika remaja tidak memiliki hubungan yang dekat dengan orang tua, mereka mulai menjalin kedekatan dengan teman sebagai gantinya. Oleh karena itu, tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk melihat hubungan antara kelekatan pada orang tua dan teman sebaya dengan subjective well-being (SWB) remaja yang ditinggalkan orang tua bekerja sebagai pekerja migran. Partisipan penelitian terdiri dari 42 remaja berusia 12 - 15 tahun. Kedekatan dengan orang tua dan teman diukur menggunakan alat ukur Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment, sementara subjective well-being diukur menggunakan alat ukur Satisfaction with Life Scale, Positive and Negative Affect Schedule, dan Subjective Happiness Scale. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat hubungan positif yang signifikan antara kelekatan pada ayah dengan kepuasan hidup dan kebahagiaan serta hubungan negatif yang signifikan antara kelekatan pada ayah dengan afek negatif. Selain itu terdapat hubungan positif yang signifikan antara kelekatan pada ibu dengan komponen afek positif dan hubungan positif yang signifikan antara kelekatan pada teman sebaya dengan kebahagiaan. Hal ini dapat disimpulkan bahwa semakin secure kelekatan dengan ayah membuat remaja semakin puas dan bahagia serta membuat semakin rendahnya afek negatif yang dirasakan. Semakin secure kelekatan dengan ibu juga membuat remaja memiliki afek positif yang tinggi dan semakin secure kelekatan dengan teman sebaya membuat remaja semakin bahagia.

Este estudio tiene como objetivo someter a prueba la hipótesis de que la relación entre religiosidad y bienestar psicológico puede estar mediada por el grado en que alguien experimenta sentido o propósito en su vida. Se realizó una encuesta en la que participó una muestra de 1553 personas de América Latina (87.6 % mujeres), con un rango de edad entre 18 y 70 años (M = 40.16, DE = 16.02), que respondieron a un cuestionario que incluía medidas de significado en la vida (Purpose in Life Test) y ajuste psicológico (Satisfaction with Life Scale, Subjective Happiness Scale, GHQ-12 y PANAS). Los resultados indicaron que aquellos que se definían como creyentes practicantes presentaban, en general, mayor bienestar, menos síntomas psicológicos y menor afecto negativo que los creyentes no-practicantes, que a su vez reportaron un mejor ajuste en comparación con los no-creyentes. Estas relaciones se encontraban, además, parcial o totalmente mediadas por las puntuaciones en variables referidas a la percepción de significado en la vida, en las que también las personas definidas como creyentes practicantes obtenían los valores más elevados. Como conclusión, la experiencia de sentido y propósito en la vida se revela como un aspecto clave para entender la conexión entre religión y bienestar psicológico.

Abstract The aim of this research is to examine the relationships between authenticity, subjective happiness, and life satisfaction. The participants were 347 university students. In this study, the Authenticity Scale, the Subjective Happiness Scale, and Satisfaction with Life Scale were used. The relationships between authenticity, subjective happiness and life satisfaction were examined using correlation analysis and Structural Equation Model (SEM). In correlation analysis, authentic living was found positively related to subjective happiness. On the other hand, self-alienation, accepting external influence was found negatively correlated to subjective happiness. Besides subjective happiness and life satisfaction have positive relation. Structural Equation Model showed that self-alienation, accepting external influence results in a decrease subjective happiness on life satisfaction whereas rise in authentic living lead to subjective happiness, so subjective happiness also brings life satisfaction. According to standardized beta coefficients (β= -.49), the most significant predictor of subjective happiness was self-alienation. Results were discussed in the light of the related literature.

A presente investigação analisou as relações entre a prática desportiva de estudantes universitários e o modo como estes se percepcionavam a si próprios e às suas vidas. Participaram nesta investigação 2284 estudantes de ambos os sexos, com idades entre os 18 e os 30 anos (M = 21,87 ±2,37), que preencheram um questionário sobre a sua prática desportiva, bem como versões portuguesas do Physical Self-Perception Profile (Fox & Corbin, 1989), da Subjective Happiness Scale (Lyubomirsky & Lepper, 1999), da Satisfaction With Life Scale (Diener, Emmons, Larsen, & Griffin, 1985) e da Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (Watson, Clark, & Tellegen, 1988). Em geral, a análise dos resultados revelou que os indivíduos que possuíam mais confiança física e que avaliavam a sua vida mais positivamente praticavam desporto mais regularmente; porém, verificou-se igualmente que quem se percebia menos forte fisicamente e tinha uma auto-estima mais baixa também praticava desporto mais regularmente do que os pares.

Abstract. The present research aimed at examining measurement invariance of the Serbian version of the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) across age, gender, and time. A total sample in Study 1 consisted of 2,595 participants from Serbia, with a mean age of 23.79 years (age range: 14–55 years). The final sample in Study 2 included 333 Serbian undergraduate students ( Mage = 20.81; age range: 20–27 years), who completed the SWLS over periods of 6 and 18 months after the initial assessment. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) supported the modified unidimensional model of the SWLS, with correlated residuals of items 4 and 5 tapping past satisfaction. The results of the multigroup confirmatory factor analysis supported the full scalar invariance across gender and over time and partial scalar invariance across age. Latent mean comparisons revealed that women reported higher life satisfaction than men. Additionally, adolescents reported higher life satisfaction than students and adults, with adults showing the lowest life satisfaction. Our findings indicate that the SWLS allows meaningful comparisons in life satisfaction across age, gender, and over time.
