All human beings experience a transitional stage from puberty to adulthood that involves physical, psychological and cognitive changes (Berk,2013). Thus adolescents have to cope with several stressful life changing situations which can disrupt their psychological well-being. This study intends to find out if resilience and spirituality could be correlates of psychological well-being of a sample of 64 adolescents. The tools used included Brief Resilience Scale by B.W Smith et al. (2008), Scales of Psychological Well-being by C.D Ryff et al. (1999) and Spiritual Health Inventory by Beach & Chappel (1992).   The obtained results show that, there is a significant positive relationship between resilience and spirituality, and resilience and psychological well-being. It also shows the significance of gender difference in resilience. Thus, the results imply that an effort should be made at a very young age to enhance resilience, so that people will experience a better psychological well-being.

The purpose of this study was to examine the correlation between perceived discrimination and psychological well-being of Manjo ethnic minority in Kaffa zone, Ethiopia. One hundred and forty nine (149) study participants from the Manjo ethnic minority were randomly selected and filled out the perceived discrimination and psychological well-being questionnaire scales. Pearson Product moment correlation was computed to determine the strength and direction of relationship between their perception of discrimination by others and the psychological well-being report. Perceived discrimination is a variability of thought that results from an act of segregation and distancing of an individual or group of individuals mainly because of bias and prejudice. The psychological well-being variable was measured by six dimensions, which are named as autonomy, environmental mastery, personal growth, positive relationship with others, purpose in life and self-acceptance of individuals. The result of the study showed the presence of a strong and significant negative correlation between the Manjos’ perception of discrimination they experience from other ethnic groups and the corresponding psychological well-being state.

AbstractJob burnout is one factor that has led many individuals to be ineffective in their profession. Psychotherapists have been shown to be especially vulnerable to the effects of job burnout in their field of specialization. Because of this fact, coping strategies are needed to protect the psychological well-being of the therapist and the therapeutic process. Humor is one coping technique that has been used in dealing with job burnout in various professions, but humor has also been shown to be detrimental to psychological well-being. In this study, a total of 133 doctoral degreed psychotherapists responded to a survey to determine the relationship between different types of humor (affiliative humor, self-enhancing humor, aggressive humor, and self-defeating humor) and various characteristics of job burnout (emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and lack of a sense of personal accomplishment). Regression results indicated that self-defeating humor contributed to the job burnout characteristics of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization, whereas self-enhancing humor contributed to a therapist's sense of personal accomplishment. The results seem to indicate that different types of humor may either buffer or contribute to job burnout depending on how humor is used.

The Relationship

Fostering nature connection may promote psychological well-being and enhance proenvironmental attitudes. However, there is limited understanding of what factors influence a person’s nature connection. Using survey responses from 1,000 residents of a large Australian city, we describe the relationship between nature connection and nature experiences at different stages in life, that is, past nature experiences that occurred during childhood, and current, everyday nature experiences. Both past childhood nature experiences and duration of current nature experiences significantly predicted nature connection. The positive relationship between duration of current nature experiences and nature connection was not significantly moderated by past childhood nature experiences. Hence, current nature experiences are associated with high levels of nature connection, even among those lacking childhood nature experiences. This research empirically demonstrates the positive relationship between nature connection and nature experiences, and suggests that it may be equally important to promote nature experiences at any life stage if increasing nature connection is the goal.

The paper presents an analysis of empirical data on relationship of study-related learning experiences with students’ psychological well-being and academic success.The data were obtained using the original Activity-Related Experiences Assessment technique (AREA) and a number of additional measures.The results of four studies are presented.The first one was devoted to the psychometric validation of AREA questionnaire.The results confirmed the construct validity of the model of activity-related experiences.The second study compared experiences associated with different types of activities (study and leisure).Differences in the structure of correlations of experiences related to different activities confirmed that experiences are activity-related rather than personality-related.The third study presents data on the relationship of study-related experiences with personality traits and academic performance.Only the experience of pleasure revealed a significant association with academic performance.The purpose of the last study was identifying the structure and reliability of AREA on the combined sample by CFA using and checking the connection of study-related experiences with indicators of psychological well-being.Experiences of pleasure and meaning were closely related to each other and negatively related to the experience of void, while the experience of effort was hardly associated the other three scores.Experiences of pleasure and meaning reveal predictable direct (and the experience of void the reverse) association with indicators of well-being.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan perfeksionisme dengan kesejahteraan psikologis pada siswa akselerasi di SMAN 1 dan 7 Banjarmasin. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode penelitian kuantitatif, dengan menggunakan teknik sampling jenuh dalam pengambilan sampel. Subjek penelitian adalah siswa akselerasi di SMAN 1 dan SMAN 7 Banjarmasin sebanyak 35 orang. Instrumen yang digunakan adalah Skala Perfeksionisme dan Skala Kesejahteraan Psikologis. Berdasarkan hasil analisis korelasi Pearson Product Moment diketahui r = 0, 587, yang berarti bahwa ada hubungan positif yang signifikan antara perfeksionisme dengan kesejahteraan psikologis pada siswa akselerasi di SMAN 1 dan 7 Banjarmasin. Sumbangan efektif perfeksionisme terhadap kesejahteraan psikologis pada siswa akselerasi sebesar 34,5%, sedangkan 65,5% dipengaruhi oleh faktor lain di luar perfeksionisme. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, dapat disimpulkan bahwa semakin tinggi perfeksionisme maka akan semakin baik kesejahteraan psikologis pada siswa akselerasi, sehingga hasil penelitian ini kurang sesuai dengan asumsi awal penelitian yang mengajukan bahwa kemungkinan terdapat hubungan negatif antara perfeksionisme dengan kesejahteraan psikologis pada siswa akselerasi di SMAN 1 dan 7 Banjarmasin. Kata Kunci: Perfeksionisme, Kesejahteraan Psikologis, Siswa Akselerasi The objective of this study was to find out the relationship between perfectionism and psychological well-being of accelerated students at SMAN 1 and 7 Banjarmasin. The study used a quantitative research method, using saturation sampling techniques. The subjects were 35 accelerated students of SMAN 1 and 7 Banjarmasin while the instruments were Perfectionism Scale and Psychological Wellbeing Scale. The results of Pearson Product Moment Correlation analysis showed that r = 0.587, which indicated that there was a significant positive relationship between perfectionism and psychological well-being of accelerated student at SMAN 1 and 7 Banjarmasin. The effective contribution of perfectionism to the accelerated students' psychological well being was 34.5 %, while 65.5 % was influenced by other factors other than perfectionism. Based on the results, it can be concluded that the higher the perfectionism, the better the psychological well-being of the accelerated students; therefore, the results were less consistent with the initial assumption suggesting that there might be a negative relationship between perfectionism and psychological well-being of the accelerated students at SMAN 1 and 7 Banjarmasin. Keywords: Perfectionism, Psychological Well-being, Accelerated Student

The Relationship

Although a variety of studies have found robust links between religious/spiritual (r/s) struggle and poorer well-being, only a few have examined the means by which r/s struggle affects mental well-being. The present paper aims to examine religious support and meaning making as mediators of the relationship between r/s struggle and well-being. The study included 226 adults, 108 women and 118 men, aged between 17 and 78 years. We applied the Religious and Spiritual Struggle Scale, Religious Support Scale, Meaning Making Scale, and Psychological Well-Being Scale. The results demonstrated that both religious support and meaning making were mediators in the relationship between r/s struggles and well-being. During moral or demonic struggles, many people reportedly feel supported by their religion, make meaning based on these positive religious experiences, and in turn experience greater well-being. Conversely, during divine, ultimate meaning, and interpersonal struggles people may feel like God does not support them, which may lead to difficulties reframing their religious experience, and adversely influence well-being. The findings from this study underscore the multifaceted character of r/s struggle: during different types of r/s struggle people may feel that religion is a source of support for them or, by contrast, they may feel deprived of religious support, which can lead to an increase or decrease of well-being, respectively.
