Loneliness Scale

Saat ini fenomena demam idola kian menyemarak di Indonesia. Semakin tinggi tingkat pengidolaan seseorang, maka semakin tinggi juga tingkat keterlibatan dengan sosok yang di idolakan. Semakin individu mengidolakan atau terlibat dengan sosok yang di idolakan maka semakin besar pula keintiman (intimacy) yang diimajinasikan terhadap sosok idola tersebut. Ketika individu menjadikan selebriti fokus utama hidupnya, maka disfungsi akan terbentuk. Beberapa individu akan membentuk hubungan khayalan dengan selebriti idola mereka dan akhirnya mengarah ke obsesi virtual terhadap selebriti idola. Obsesi inilah yang akhirnya dikenal dengan istilah celebrity worship (McCutcheon,Maltby, & Houran, 2003). Beberapa penelitian menunjukkan celebrity worship dikaitkan dengan traits para penggemar yang patologis, negatif dan menyimpang, kinerja dan keterampilan belajar yang rendah, self-esteem yang rendah dan memiliki kesulitan dalam membentuk identitasnya, psyhological well-being yang rendah.  Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui peranan cognitive flexibility, self-esteem, loneliness, terhadap celebrity worship pada remaja. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan analisis multiple regresi. Sampel penelitian ini remaja berjumlah 630 orang dengan usia 10-24 tahun yang memiliki tokoh selebriti idola. Teknik pengambilan sampel menggunakan teknik non-probability sampling, yakni purposive sampling. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan metode kuantitatif. yaitu dengan cara menyebar kuesioner penelitian kepada partisipan yang memenuhi kriteria. Dalam penelitian ini, peneliti mengadaptasi instrument pengumpulan data, yaitu celebrity attitude scale (CAS) 22 item, cognitive flexibility scale 12 item, Rosenberg Self Esteem Scale (RSES)10 item dan UCLA loneliness scale 20 item. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan adanya peranan dari cognitive flexibility, self-esteem, loneliness, usia dan jenis kelamin sebagai data  demografi terhadap celebrity worship pada remaja dengan nilai R2 sebesar 12,1%. Secara parsial, terdapat dua variabel yang berperan positif terhadap celebrity worship, yaitu variabel cognitive flexibility, dan variabel loneliness. The idol fever phenomenon is increasingly popular in Indonesia. The higher the level of one's idolization, the higher the level of involvement with the idol. The more individuals idolize or engage with idolized figures, the greater the intimacy imagined against the idol figure. When an individual makes a celebrity the main focus of his/her life, then dysfunction will form. Some individuals will form imaginary relationships with their idol celebrities which will eventually lead to virtual obsession with idol celebrities. This obsession is also known as celebrity worship (McCutcheon, Maltby, & Houran, 2003). Several studies show celebrity worship is associated with fans' pathological, negative, and distorted traits, low performance and learning skills, low self-esteem and difficulty in forming their identities, along with low psyhological well-being. This research was conducted to determine the role of cognitive flexibility, self-esteem, and loneliness, against celebrity worship in adolescents. This research uses quantitative approach with multiple regression analysis. The sample of this study were 630 teenagers aged 10-24 years who had idols. The sampling technique uses non-probability sampling technique, namely purposive sampling. This research was conducted using quantitative methods by distributing research questionnaires to participants who meet the criteria. In this study, researchers adapted data collection instruments, which are 22 items celebrity attitude scale (CAS), 12 items cognitive flexibility scale, 10 items Rosenberg Self Esteem Scale (RSES) and UCLA loneliness scale of 20 items. The results of this study indicate the role of cognitive flexibility, self-esteem, loneliness, age and gender as demographic data on celebrity worship in adolescents with an R2 of 12.1%. Partially, there are two variables that have a positive role in celebrity worship, namely the cognitive flexibility variable, and the loneliness variable.

Abstract. Previous research on the link between parenthood and subjective well-being has observed a positive, a negative, or no relation between the two depending upon a variety of factors including, but not limited to, parent age, child age, and parent gender. The current study assessed an individual difference – parent narcissism – as an additional moderator of this link. The project assessed both non-pathological and pathological trait narcissism and differentiated between pathological grandiosity and vulnerability as it explored the extent to which each form of narcissism moderated the association between parenthood and well-being. Amazon Mturk workers completed measures of demographic characteristics, subjective well-being, and narcissism online. Overall, parenthood was positively associated with subjective well-being, but this effect was moderated such that the positive association between parenting and subjective well-being was observed only for those low in non-pathological narcissism and pathological grandiosity. Pathological vulnerability was negatively associated with subjective well-being but did not moderate the parenthood-subjective well-being link. The findings highlight the role of narcissistic grandiosity in influencing when and for whom parenthood might lead to more subjective well-being.

Health And Well Being

Purpose: This study examines the association between sources of stress and perceptions of organizational and supervisor support for health and well-being. Design: Retrospective, cross-sectional analysis. Setting: Large university in the mid-western United States. Sample: This study focused on university employees with complete data for all variables (organizational support/N = 19,536; supervisor support/N = 20,287). Measures: 2019 socioeconomic and demographic characteristics, count of chronic conditions, sources of stress and perceptions of organizational and supervisor support. Analysis: For the multivariate analyzes, linear regression models were analyzed separately by wage bands (low ≤$46,100; middle >$46,100-$62,800; high >$62,800). Results: For all employees, workplace stressors, including problematic relationships at work and heavy job responsibilities, were negatively associated with perceptions of supervisor and organizational support. In comparison, the most salient home-based stressors were negatively associated with perceptions of supervisor support for the lowest-wage band (the death of a loved one, b = −0.13) and middle-wage band (personal illness or injury, b = −0.09), while the one for the highest-wage band (illness or injury of a loved one, b = 0.07) was positively associated with perceptions of supervisor support. Conclusion: Stressful job responsibilities and work relationships are associated with lower perceptions of supervisor and organizational support for health and well-being across all wage bands. Favorable perceived support for personal stressors only among high wage earning employees may suggest a need for improved equity of perceived support for these stressors among lower wage workers.

The study focuses on families raising a child with cerebral palsy to investigate family strengths and their association with family and parent demographic characteristics in Greece and Italy. Participants were 120 parents raising a biological child with cerebral palsy. Data collection used a self-report questionnaire and the Family Strengths Inventory. According to the findings, families share a high sense of family strengths, which is mainly represented in the high sense of ‘pride’ and ‘accord’. In addition, demographic characteristics seem to be important predictors of well-being and strengthen parents and families raising a child with cerebral palsy.

Trait Empathy

We used experience sampling to examine perceptions of empathy in the everyday lives of a group of 246 U.S. adults who were quota sampled to represent the population on key demographics. Participants reported an average of about nine opportunities to empathize per day; these experiences were positively associated with prosocial behavior, a relationship not found with trait measures. Although much of the literature focuses on the distress of strangers, in everyday life, people mostly empathize with very close others, and they empathize with positive emotions 3 times as frequently as with negative emotions. Although trait empathy was negatively associated only with well-being, empathy in daily life was generally associated with increased well-being. Theoretically distinct components of empathy—emotion sharing, perspective taking, and compassion—typically co-occur in everyday empathy experiences. Finally, empathy in everyday life was higher for women and the religious but not significantly lower for conservatives and the wealthy.

The manifestation of Specific Learning Disorder (SLD) during adulthood is one of the least examined research areas among the relevant literature. Therefore, the adult population with SLD is considered a “rare” and “unique” population of major scientific interest. The aim of the current study was to investigate, describe, and analyze the clinical, academic, and socio-demographic characteristics, and other everyday functioning life-skills of adults with SLD, in an attempt to shed more light on this limited field of research. The overall sample consisted of 318 adults, who were assessed for possible SLD. The diagnostic procedure included self-report records (clinical interview), psychometric/cognitive, and learning assessments. The main finding of the study was that SLD, even during adulthood, continues to affect the individuals’ well-being and functionality in all of their life domains. There is an ongoing struggle of this population to obtain academic qualifications in order to gain vocational rehabilitation, as well as a difficulty to create a family, possibly resulting from their unstable occupational status, their financial insecurity, and the emotional/self-esteem issues they usually encounter, due to their ongoing learning problems. Moreover, the various interpersonal characteristics, the comorbidity issues, and the different developmental backgrounds observed in the clinical, academic, personal, social, and occupational profiles of the participants, highlight the enormous heterogeneity and the continuum that characterizes SLD during adulthood. We conclude that there is an imperative need for further research and the construction of more sufficient tools for the assessment and diagnosis of SLD during adulthood, which will take into account the developmental challenges and milestones in a series of domains, in order to assist this “vulnerable” population with their life struggles.

Sexual Harassment at workplace (SHW) is a global phenomenon. However, there has been no prior research on the association of SHW and subjective well-being (SWB) of working women in Pakistan. The SWB is an umbrella term that encompasses concepts such as satisfaction with life (SWL) and subjective happiness (SbH). The 200 working women from the public and private sector organizations in Pakistan were recruited randomly. The Sexual Harassment Experience Questionnaire, The Satisfaction with Life Scale, and Subjective Happiness Scale were administered as the main measures. The study met all the ethical considerations. The data was analyzed by the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences and expressed as baseline characteristics, correlation analysis and t tests. There was statistically significant negative relationship of SHW with SWL and SbH in working women. The young age, high school or less education, single marital status, and working in private sector organization were significantly associated with the increased and decreased experience of SHW and SWB respectively. The study recommended the adoption of anti SHW laws by the working sector and the periodic screening of working women for SWB so as to reduce the phenomenon of SHW and enhance the SWL and SbH in working women.
