Abstract: Disasters have had an impact on the psychological well-being of victims for a long period of time.  Past research related to the psychological well-being of disaster victims shows the negative and positive psychological well-being experienced by victims even though actions have been taken by certain parties in helping disaster victims.   Flooding is a natural disaster that often occurs in Malaysia. Major floods that occurred in 2014 in several states in Malaysia, especially on the east coast, have resulted in certain parties taking action to move disaster victims to new resettlement to avoid repeated tragedies. Thus, the present study was conducted to identify the level of psychological well-being of disaster victims in the relocation area. The study was conducted using a qualitative design where data collection was done  through interview methods. A total of 23 informants were interviewed using an interview protocol formed based on previous theories and studies. Data is analyzed using thematic analysis.  The results found that stress, sadness and anxiety are elements of negative psychological well-being that informants feel when recalling these events. This negative element is balanced with the positive element of gratitude, acceptance and social support received. This study contributes to the theories of psychological well-being by the addition of acceptance and grateful as a new dimension.  The results of this study also contributed to strengthen policies in relation to the importance of intervention from the psychological aspect provided to disaster victims.  Keywords: Psychological effects, Natural disaster, Floods, Relocation of flood victims, Qualitative research     Abstrak: Bencana mendatangkan kesan terhadap kesejahteraan psikologi mangsa untuk satu tempoh masa yang agak panjang. Penelitian berkaitan kesejahteraan psikologi mangsa bencana menunjukkan kesejahteraan psikologi  secara negatif dan positif dialami oleh mangsa meskipun tindakan telah diambil oleh pihak tertentu dalam membantu mangsa bencana.   Banjir adalah merupakan bencana alam yang seringkali terjadi di Malaysia. Banjir besar yang dialami pada tahun 2014 di beberapa buah negeri di Malaysia terutama di pantai timur telah mengakibatkan pihak-pihak tertentu mengambil tindakan untuk memindahkan mangsa bencana ke penempatan semula bagi mengelak tragedi ini berulang. Lantaran itu, kajian ini dilakukan  bertujuan untuk mengenal pasti tahap kesejahteraan psikologi mangsa bencana di kawasan penempatan semula. Kajian ini dilakukan menggunakan reka bentuk kualitatif  iaitu pengumpulan data melalui kaedah temubual. Sejumlah 23 orang informan telah ditemubual menggunakan protokol temubual yang dibentuk berdasarkan teori dan kajian lepas. Data  dianalisis menggunakan analisis tematik. Hasil kajian mendapati tekanan, kesedihan dan kebimbangan adalah merupakan elemen kesejahteraan psikologi negatif yang dirasai oleh informan ketika mengenangkan peristiwa berkenaan. Elemen negatif ini diseimbangkan dengan elemen positif iaitu syukur, redha dan sokongan sosial yang diterima. Kajian ini menyumbang kepada teori  psikologi iaitu Teori Kesejahteraan Psikologi, Teori Penentuan Diri dan Teori Modal Insan dengan menyumbang kepada penambahan redha dan bersyukur sebagai dimensi baru. Hasil kajian ini turut menyumbang kepada pengukuhan polisi berkaitan dengan kepentingan intervensi dari aspek psikologi diberikan kepada mangsa bencana.

Health And Well Being

Abstract Around 2.7 million adults over the age of 50 self-identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) in the United States. Past research suggests that additional stressors caused by being a socially stigmatized minority group can have a negative effect on health and well-being. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between sexual orientation and self-rated health, memory, and psychological well-being in a 1:3 propensity score-matched subsample from 2016 wave of Health and Retirement Study (HRS), a nationally representative study of older adults. Each lesbian/gay/bisexual (LGB) participant (n=140) was matched with three straight participants (n=420) on age, sex, and education. The average age was 53.8 years (SD=2.3 years), 54% were men, the average education was 14.3 years (SD=2.4 years). Logistic regression results indicated that LGB participants were almost twice as likely to report ever having depression (OR=1.85, 95% CI=1.23-2.80). Conversely, LGB participants were more likely to report having better health (OR=1.47, 95% CI= 1.04-2.07) than straight participants and the two groups did not differ significantly in memory (OR=1.16, 95% CI= 0.82-1.64) from their straight counterparts. In conclusion, it is possible that the stigma due to sexual orientation plays a role in psychological well-being but may also reflect in better physical health but not cognitive health. It is also possible that the better health in LGB participants reflects self-report bias.

Purpose Past research has generally associated organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) with positive individual and organizational outcomes, paying little attention to its possible costs for individuals. Drawing from the conservation of resource theory (COR), the purpose of this paper is to address this gap by developing an integrative framework that simultaneously investigates the potential costs and benefits of OCB for individuals. In addition, the paper also investigates the down-streaming effects of OCB on workplace well-being (job satisfaction and affective commitment) favorably via psychological well-being and unfavorably via role overload. Design/methodology/approach A sample of 566 employees working in private sector banks in India was collected by using multi-stage random sampling approach. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to test the hypothesized relationships. Parallel mediation regression analysis was used for ascertaining the specific indirect effects of the two parallel mediators. Findings Results indicate that OCBs targeted toward co-workers (OCBI), organization (OCBO) and customers (OCBC) were positively associated with psychological well-being. Simultaneously, OCBO was found to be positively associated with higher role overload. Further, psychological well-being and role overload mediated the effect of various dimensions of OCB on employees’ workplace well-being. Originality/value The study contributes to the existing literature by investigating both the beneficial and detrimental effects of various dimensions of OCB into one theoretical framework. By doing so, the study attempts to bridge the gap in the literature by linking these two divergent streams of research, i.e. whether OCB is beneficial or costly for individuals.

Abstract Objectives Past research used equity theory and social comparison theory to explain the direct effect of maternal differential treatment (MDT) on psychological well-being. However, this focus on psychological pathways ignores possible social pathways, such as indirect effects of MDT on well-being through disrupting other family relationships. This study uses stress proliferation theory to argue that MDT, as a primary stressor in mother–child relationships, can produce secondary stressors in other family relationships (e.g., sibling tension and marital tension), which in turn leads to lower psychological well-being. Methods To investigate this mechanism, we conducted multilevel mediation analysis using data collected from 720 adult children nested within 308 families, as part of the Within-Family Differences Study. Results We found that sibling tension mediates the association between adult children’s perceptions of maternal disfavoritism and their psychological well-being—a process we call the stress proliferation of maternal disfavoritism. In contrast, adult children’s perceptions of maternal favoritism cannot trigger this stress proliferation process of producing marital tension nor sibling tension. Discussion The evaluation of the stress proliferation process of maternal favoritism and disfavoritism can help us to understand the difference in effects across various dimensions of MDT. This study contributes to the literature on social relationships as social determinants of health by investigating how intergenerational relationships are connected to other family relationships to affect family members’ health.

The goal of these 2 studies was to clarify the association between intersectional awareness (IA) and psychological well-being (PWB). Past research on this association has been mixed, with some studies identifying positive well-being outcomes (e.g., Fischer & Good, 2004; Yakushko, 2007) and others identifying negative well-being outcomes (e.g., Curtin et al., 2015; Greenwood, 2008). Study 1 examined the role of identity privilege, predicting that identity privilege would moderate the relationship between IA and well-being. Analyses indicated a positive relationship between IA and well-being, regardless of identity privilege (β = .19). Study 2 examined the role of identity privilege and identity group, as well as the role of critical consciousness and its factors: egalitarianism (CC-Eg) and critical action (CC-CA), predicting that any association between IA and well-being would be present for participants with high CC-CA, and intensified by CC-Eg. Analyses indicated that the overall relationship between IA and well-being was insignificant, but CC-Eg played the most important role in predicting well-being by interacting separately with IA (β = .20) and CC-CA (β = .22). Study 2 found that the association between IA and well-being was positive only for African American and Black people. Studies 1 and 2 suggest that the factors of critical consciousness uniquely interact with IA as it relates to well-being and that this association may be especially important for African American and Black people. These studies provide future researchers and mental health professionals with a framework for understanding how opinions and awareness of intersecting social hierarchies and injustices may be related to PWB.

Natural Disaster such as big flood, earthquake, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, fire raze, landslide, and other kinds of disaster always occurred everywhere in the world. The role of disaster workers is crucial in saving the victims in a critical situation where the inner strength to confront the dangerous situation and comfort the victims is needed. This study examines whether the training content to disaster workers possess sufficient knowledge and skills to cater the physical needs, as well as the emotional turmoil and instability situation, occurred to the victims. The secondary data sought from library and website research, scholars’ opinion from journals published and past research conducted. The psycho-spiritual competencies from the conventional and Islamic perspectives are highlighted. Differences in the two approaches were compared and evaluated. The finding shows that the disaster workers require both conventional and Islamic approaches of psycho-spiritual competencies to cater to the needs of disaster victims during the rescue process take place. Hence, Islamic psycho spiritual competencies contribute to the inner strength of the Muslim disaster workers as its emblem the soul and the spiritual heart qalb which correlated as the determinant factor of the well-being of the physical body of the human being.
