Participants attending a festival(s) with children is a family activity that influences family relationships. This study examines the relationship between attending status (e.g., with or without children), event experience, subjective well-being, and family quality of life (FQOL). A total of 585 festival participants’ data analyzed by structural equation modeling (SEM) revealed that participants attending with children have a higher level of subjective well-being and FQOL compared to those without children. Participants attending with children have a higher level of cognitive engagement and experience novelty in festivals compared to those without children. Event experience results in a significant positive relationship with subjective well-being. This study expands current event literature in terms of FQOL and provides a practical guideline to event organizers to better understand the significance of festivals.

Abstract Data from N = 111 centenarians (M = 100.88; SD = 1.48) residing in Oklahoma was used to examine patterns in the relationship between the God oriented vs. non-God oriented longevity secrets and subjective well-being. Observational Oriented Modeling (OOM) was then used to conduct an ordinal analysis using concatenated ordering to produce degree of fitness between data and underlying patterns in life satisfaction and purpose-in-life across three time points. OOM is a data analysis method used to evaluate fitness of proposed patterns to data called PCC. Results indicated that centenarians maintaining a God-oriented longevity secret fit a decreased pattern in life satisfaction (PCC = 25.00, c-value = .09); whereas centenarians not maintaining a God-oriented longevity secret fit the same pattern (PCC = 49.18, c-value = .06). Meanwhile, centenarians having a God-oriented longevity secret fit a decreased pattern of purpose-in-life (PCC = 71.43, c-value =.12); whereas centenarians having a non-God oriented longevity secret fit the same pattern (PCC = 53.45, c-value = .28). In comparison to centenarians who acknowledged something other than God as the secret to their longevity, those who cite God as the reason for longevity tend to proportionately maintain a more satisfying view of life, yet experience a deteriorating sense of purpose over time. Results indicate that longevity secrets reflect divergent patterns in subjective well-being among persons living beyond 100 years. This has implications relative to how geriatric practitioners design interventions, services, or programs to enhance quality-of-life for long-lived adults.

Using egocentric network data from the University of California Social Networks Study (1,136 respondents; 11,536 alters), this study examines how difficult ties—an unexplored form of social negativity—are associated with well-being. Findings show that well-being is affected by the quality of the relationship rather than its presence in the network. Having a nondifficult partner is associated with lower loneliness compared to having no partner, but having no partner and having a difficult partner are related to similar levels of loneliness. Likewise, having difficult adult children and having no adult children are associated with reporting greater psychological distress than having nondifficult adult children. Consistent with the stress process model, the negative association of a difficult partner with well-being is buffered when that partner is otherwise supportive and when the other ties in the network are supportive. However, that association is amplified when the other ties are also difficult.

In the long run economic growth does not improve people's well-being. Traditional theories – adaptation and social comparisons – explain this evidence, but they don't explain what shapes the trend of subjective well-being and its differences across countries. Recent research identified in social capital a plausible candidate to explain the trends of well-being. This dissertation adopts various econometric techniques to explore the relationship over time among social capital, economic growth and subjective well-being. The main conclusion is that social capital is a good predictor of the trend of subjective well-being, both within and across countries. Hence, policies for well-being should aim at preserving and enhancing social capital for the quality of the social environment matters.

This study was conducted in order to verify the role of social support and coping strategies as moderators of the relationship between perceived stress and the subjective well-being of transgender people, which is lower than cisgenders’ people. 355 people took part in this study (124 transgender people and 231 cisgender people) between age of 18 and 53. Subjective well-being has been operationalized using the Satisfaction With life Scale SWLS. Measurement of the perceived stress was made using the Perceived Stress Scale PSS-10. Coping strategies were examined using the Mini-COPE inventory. Additionally, two subscales of the Berlin Social Support Scales BSSS were used to measure received and perceived social support. Transgender people scored on the SWB scale significantly lower than cisgender people. Received and perceived social support did not turn out to be a significant moderators of the relationship between perceived stress and the subjective well-being. Only one of the coping strategies turned out to be an significant moderator of this relationship – venting of emotions. Key words: transgenderism, perceived stress, quality of life, social support, coping strategies

This article explores the relationship between time and well-being as a social policy question. Although the research on time and well-being is extensive, few have dealt with them together from a comparative institutional perspective. Based on data from the third European Quality of Life Survey (EQLS) of 2012, regarding 34 mostly European countries, in different welfare regimes, we explore two issues: (1) What are the effects of welfare regimes on the uses of time and subjective well-being? and (2) What are the effects of different uses of time on subjective well-being? We find that the institutional structure – the welfare regime – affects the way people use their time. Furthermore, the findings documented that uses of time have a direct effect on well-being when controlling for individual level as well as country-level variables. These findings may have important implications for policymaking.

ABSTRAK Berbagai studi sebelumnya mengungkap bahwa ketika individu dapat menunjukkan perilaku yang berkontribusi terhadap pelestarian alam, dapat dikatakan bahwa individu tersebut memiliki subjective well-being (SWB) yang tinggi karena perilaku ekologi dikategorikan sebagai perilaku positif yang berkontribusi pada munculnya perasaan positif, seperti kebahagiaan dan kepuasan. Individu dengan SWB yang baik juga diketahui akan mampu menunjukkan perilaku pro-lingkungan karena perilaku tersebut bisa meningkatkan kualitas lingkungan hidup mereka yang secara timbal balik meningkatkan kepuasan hidup mereka. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara perilaku pro-lingkungan dan SWB pada masyarakat Jakarta, sebagai salah satu kota besar dengan tingkat masalah lingkungan yang tinggi. Penelitian ini diikuti oleh dua ratus sembilan belas responden yang merupakan warga Jakarta yang berusia 20-40 tahun dengan status sosial ekonomi menengah ke a ditunjukkan oleh pendapatan yang lebih besar dari biaya, dan kemampuan menabung. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, dapat disimpulkan bahwa tidak ada hubungan yang signifikan antara perilaku pro-lingkungan dengan SWB (r = 0,075; ρ = 0.268> 0.05). Temuan dari penelitian ini akan berguna untuk penelitian selanjutnya, terutama dalam mengukur faktor lain yang memprediksi perilaku pro-lingkungan pada masyarakat perkotaan, serta merancang intervensi yang tepat untuk memodifikasi perilaku pro-lingkungan mereka. Kata Kunci: Perilaku Pro-lingkungan, Subjective Well-being ABSTRACT Previous studies found that when individuals can demonstrate behaviors that contribute to nature preservation, it can be said that he has a high level of Subjective Well-being (SWB). It is because the ecological behavior is categorized as positive action which contributes to the emergence of the positive feelings, such as happiness and satisfaction. Vice versa, individual with good SWB found would be able to show pro-environmental behavior as it could improve the quality of their environment which reciprocally promotes their general life-satisfaction. However, study related to SWB and pro-environmental behavior in Indonesia has never been conducted before. Therefore this study aims to determine the relationship between pro-environmental behavior and SWB among Jakarta citizen. This study involved two hundred and nineteen Jakarta’s people aged 20-40 years old with middle socioeconomic status indicated by incomes, which is greater than expenses and saving ability. The results reflected that there was no significant relationship between pro-environmental behavior and SWB (r = 0.075, ρ=0268>0.05). This study provides a different insight into how to change urban society’s behavior to be more concerned about their environment. Findings from this study will be useful for subsequent research, particularly in assessing other factors associated with pro-environmental behavior, as well as designing appropriate interventions to modify their environmental behavior. Keywords: Pro-Environmental Behavior, Subjective Well-Being

ResumenLos datos estadísticos y algunos estudios nos plantean la relevancia del problema del fracaso escolar en España, los porcentajes de abandono temprano son preocupantes. Este fracaso escolar se relaciona con la no adquisición de un aprendizaje significativo debido a las dificultades en el aprendizaje, a las relaciones con sus compañeros, a la escasa comprensión lectora, etc.: estos generan percepciones erróneas y emociones negativas que influyen en el rendimiento escolar. Por ello, es importante evaluar la relación entre los diferentes aspectos que nos permitan fomentar el aprendizaje de habilidades sociales de forma preventiva.En esta investigación hemos utilizado un modelo relacional entre la percepción y el rendimiento en la asignatura ciencias de la naturaleza y las habilidades sociales de toma de conciencia y control emocional, conversacionales, la cooperación y ayuda mediante el trabajo, las relacionadas con la defensa de los propios derechos, las socio - emocionales y de vida y bienestar subjetivo como mejora de la calidad de vida. La muestra de la investigación es de 445 estudiantes de los cursos de tercero a sexto de Primaria de varios centros educativos. Los resultados obtenidos nos muestran que existe significatividad entre la percepción y las habilidades socio - emocionales con respecto al rendimiento y, por lo tanto, se comprueba el impulso motivacional en el rendimiento si mejoramos la percepción mediante dichas habilidades socio – emocionales y el desarrollo en el aula de programas y metodologías activas, como aprendizaje cooperativo y mindfulness, que mejoren el aprendizaje y reduzcan los conflictos en el aula.AbstractThe statistical data and some studies raise the relevance of the problem of school failure in Spain, the percentages of early abandonment are worrisome. This school failure is related to the lack of acquisition of significant learning due to difficulties in learning, relationships with peers, insufficient reading comprehension, …; these generate erroneous perceptions and negative emotions that influence school performance. Therefore, it is important to evaluate the relationship between the different aspects that allow us to promote the learning of social skills in a preventive manner.In this research we have used a relational model between perception and performance in the subject natural sciences and social skills of consciousness and emotional control, conversational, cooperation and help through work, those related to the defense of own rights, socio-emotional and life and subjective well-being as improvement of the quality of life. The sample of the research is 447 students from the third to sixth year Primary courses from several educational centers. The results obtained show us that there is significance between perception and socio-emotional skills with respect to performance and, therefore, the motivational impulse in performance is proven if we improve perception through these socio-emotional skills and the development in the classroom of programs and active methodologies, as cooperative learning and mindfulness, that improve learning and reduce conflicts in the classroom.

AbstractThe study of coping strategies has provided valuable insights about the process of helping cancer patients adapt to their disease. However, new approaches must be explored to increase the knowledge of this adjustment. In this study, we will analyze the relationship between patients’ psychological well-being and quality of life and less well-studied constructs such as the belief in a just world (BJW) and emotional intelligence (EI). Sixty-eight cancer patients (35 men, 33 women; mean age 53.5 years; range: 20–86) were asked about their personal and general BJW, EI, Perception of Quality of Life, Anxiety, and Depression. Different multiple regression analyses showed that patients’ personal BJW negatively predicted their anxiety (p < .05) and a trend to a better quality of life. In addition, patients with high scores in the Mood Repair subfactor of EI showed better quality of life (p < .05), and those with higher Attention to Feelings exhibited more Anxiety (p < .01) and a trend to more Depression. These results underline the need to take into consideration new factors, such as BJW and EI, in clinical interventions for cancer patients.
