The aim of this study was to assess the mediating role of affects between mind-wandering and happiness. The study was conducted with a sample comprising 270 university students—133 men (49.26%) and 137 women (50.74%)—who filled out the Mind-Wandering Questionnaire (MWQ), the Positive and Negative Affect Questionnaire (PANAS), and the SHS subjective happiness scale. Mind-wandering was found to be negatively correlated with happiness and positive effects. Higher mind-wandering-related scores went hand in hand with scores related to both lower happiness and positive affects. Approximately half the participants yielded low mind-wandering and negative affect scores and above-average happiness and positive affects scores. In addition, one in four scored above average in terms of mind-wandering and low in terms of happiness and positive effects. Finally, the mediating role played by affects was examined. It can be concluded that although in principle mind-wandering has no direct effect on happiness, some influence can be attested when affects, both positive and negative, are taken into consideration.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the mediating role of positive and negative affect in the association of perceptions of parental involvement, autonomy support, and warmth with resilience among Adolescents with Addicted Parents. Method: In this descriptive-correlational study, 63 Adolescents of Addicted Parents studying in Zahak and Hirman, located in Sistan and Baluchestan Province in Iran, were selected using convenience sampling method. The participants completed the questionnaires on perceptions of parenting styles, resilience, and positive and negative affect. Data were analyzed via the correlation coefficient and path analysis. Results: The results showed that the adolescents’ perceived parenting styles were directly and significantly related to positive affect and resilience (P < 0.01). Moreover, the results of the path analysis indicated that mediated by positive affect, the adolescents’ perceived parenting styles predicted resilience indirectly (P < 0.01). Conclusion: Given the results of this study, perceived parenting styles can directly and indirectly predict resilience. It can be concluded that adolescents’ perceived parenting styles can enhance resilience among them through promoting positive affect.

<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>

Mediating Role

The pursuit of hedonia and eudaimonia are two ways to fulfill the goal of a “good life”. While some studies report that both hedonic and eudaimonic motives improve well-being, others suggest that hedonic motives are counterproductive, raising the question of whether and why eudaimonic motives are more positively associated with well-being. We aimed to identify the distinct associations of hedonic and eudaimonic motives with well-being and investigate whether they are partly mediated by self-control. A total of 2882 college freshmen (1835 females, 1047 males, mean age 18.16 years) completed measures assessing hedonic and eudaimonic motives, self-control, life satisfaction, positive and negative affect, and eudaimonic well-being. Eudaimonic motives were associated with higher life satisfaction, more positive affect, less negative affect, and better eudaimonic well-being. In contrast, hedonic motives were positively associated with life satisfaction, while also being correlated with a greater degree of negative affect and impaired eudaimonic well-being. Self-control mediated the relationships between hedonic and eudaimonic motives and well-being. Eudaimonic and hedonic motives were positively and negatively related to self-control, respectively. Further, high self-control was associated with greater life satisfaction, positive affect, and eudaimonic well-being and lower negative affect. Thus, eudaimonic motives can lead to a better life than hedonic motives because the former enhance self-control, while the latter lower it.
