Penelitian ini memiliki tujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh frekuensi penggunaan smartphone dan locus of control (LOC) terhadap penggunaan smartphone disaat tidak tepat (waktu tidur dan belajar sendiri), prestasi belajar, dan subjective well-being (SWB). Penelitian ini mengumpulkan sebanyak 342 mahasiswa diambil dengan metode circular systematic random sampling dan diminta mengisi kuesioner penelitian yang telah tervalidasi. Path Analysis digunakan untuk memeriksa pengaruh penggunaan smartphone dan LOC terhadap beberapa variabel yang dipilih. Berdasarkan hasil uji kesesuaian model, covariance model tidak berbeda signifikan terhadap covariance sampel (good fit). Analisis utama penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan smartphone harian berpengaruh terhadap penggunaan smartphone diwaktu tidak tepat, kualitas tidur, dan SWB. Sedangkan LOC berpengaruh terhadap aktivitas penggunaan smartphone diwaktu tidur, kualitas tidur, dan SWB. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa semakin meningkatnya penggunaan smartphone harian akan meningkatkan penggunaan smartphone diwaktu yang tidak tepat , menurunkan kualitas tidur, dan menurunkan SWB. Selanjutnya, semakin internal LOC, semakin rendah penggunaan smartphone diwaktu tidur, meningkatnya kualitas tidur, dan meningkatnya SWB.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui peran subjective well-being dalam memediasi locus of control terhadap kepuasan kerja. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada perawat Rumah Sakit Islam Fatimah Banyuwangi. Populasi pada penelitian ini sebanyak 85 perawat dengan sampel responden sebanyak 70 perawat. Metode penentuan sampel menggunakan simple random sampling. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan menyebarkan kuesioner. Pendekatan pada penelitian ini adalah pendekatan kuantitatif, pengujian hipotesis menggunakan Partial Least Square (PLS). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan locus of control berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap subjective well-being ­dan kepuasan kerja, sedangkan subjective well-being tidak berpengaruh terhadap kepuasan kerja karena terdapat faktor lain yang lebih mempengaruhi kepuasan kerja perawat seperti gaji, lingkungan kerja, maupun karakteristik pekerjaan. Pada sisi lain, subjective well-being yang dimiliki perawat melekat dalam diri masing-masing dan suatu kewajiban yang harus dilakukan oleh setiap karyawan seperti bersikap baik terhadap terhadap rekan dan meningkatkan kemampuan dalam bekerja, sehingga tidak memiliki implikasi pada meningkat atau menurunnya kepuasan kerja. Oleh karena itu subjective well-being tidak berperan sebagai variabel intervening.

It is widely documented that negative body image is a significant public health concern due to its association with symptoms of disordered eating and worse psychological well-being. The purpose of the study was to develop a path model of intrapersonal dimensions (self-efficacy and internal locus of control) as antecedents of perceived stress toward females’ body dissatisfaction and eating attitude disorders. A total of 300 females, including 100 aspiring fashion models, 100 athletes and 100 students (controls), between 15 and 24 years of age (M = 19.6, SD = 1.85) participated in the study. Measures included level of psychological stress, self-efficacy and locus of control dimensions, body dissatisfaction and eating attitude disorder indices. A path analysis confirmed our research hypothesis. Comparing the three subsamples, we found better fit indexes in the two subgroups with elevated investment on their body image with respect the control group. More specifically, the model in the group of aspiring fashion models showed the best fit index. These results indicated that aspiring fashion models have a strong desire to maintain their low body mass or to become thinner. For this reason, a suitable involvement of expert health workers in the nutritional and psychological field could be extremely essential in the fashion world to maintain a healthier well-being.

Objective The current study examined the impact of a non-governmental organization’s academic tutoring and mentoring program on the social-emotional learning (SEL) and subjective well-being of 240 marginalized young women. Participants One-hundred-fifty-nine currently enrolled 7-12th grade students with a mean age of 16.39, SD=1.55; 40 students who were enrolled in college with a mean age of 20.25, SD=1.57, and 25 who had graduated from college with a mean age of 22.48, SD=2.16 and their leaders participated. Methods All participants completed in a survey that assessed the degree of participants’ locus of control, expectations of success (self-efficacy), current goals and career-related aspirations and their satisfaction with their relationships and life in general. Twenty-one of the participants and all leaders also were interviewed. Results Regression analyses revealed that both the participants’ self-management and the leader’s locus of control were significant predictors of the participants’ internal locus of control. Congruent with interview findings, latent structural equation analysis revealed that three manifest variables of social-emotional learning, “self-management”, “social awareness”, and “self-efficacy” had direct positive effects on participants’ subjective well-being (i.e., their satisfaction with life and relationships). Conclusion Culturally sensitive approaches to mentoring and training are needed and helpful. Future research should be carried out to mitigate design limitations and further the current study’s addition to the body of research on social-emotional learning and well-being.

The purpose of this study was to confirm the relationship between internal health locus of control, mental health problems, and subjective well-being in adults during the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic. In particular, the mediating effect of mental health problems on the relationship between internal health locus of control and subjective well-being was examined. A cross-sectional descriptive design was conducted via online survey. The participants were 600 adults over 20 years of age living in South Korea. The collected data were analyzed using hierarchical regression analysis and SPSS Process Macro (Model 4). As a result of the study, the internal health locus of control had a significant negative effect on mental health problems. In addition, in the process of the internal health locus of control affecting subjective well-being, the mediating effect of mental health problems was significantly shown. In the period of an infectious disease pandemic such as COVID-19, it is necessary to establish a strong internal health locus of control of individuals and to promote monitoring and treatment introduction for those with a low internal health locus of control. In addition, it was discussed that controlling mental health problems can improve subjective well-being, which is life satisfaction and happiness.

Background: Well-being and locus of control have been important areas of research over the last few years. However, limited information is available about the same from India, due to the lack of validated instruments in regional languages for the same.This research aimed to translate, adapt, and validate the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale (WEMWBS), Spiritual Well-being Scale (SWBS), and Multidimensional Health Locus of Control (MHLC) Scale in Hindi. Methods: The scales were translated into Hindi by following the translation–back-translation methodology as specified by the World Health Organization. Next, the Hindi versions of the scales were completed by 102 participants, and then, the participants completed either the Hindi or the English version of the scales after 3–7 days. Results: The Hindi versions of WEMWBS, MHLC, and SWBS have high cross-language equivalence with the English version of the scale, both at the level of the individual items and the various dimensions in all three scales, which was significant (P < 0.001). Cronbach’s alpha for the Hindi version of WEMWBS, SWBS, and MHLC scales was 0.92, 0.83, and 0.77, respectively. The Spearman–Brown coefficient was 0.82, 0.63, and 0.63 for WEMWBS, SWBS, and MHLC, respectively. As measured on the Centrality of Religiosity Scale (CRS), higher religiosity was associated with greater religious and existential well-being. Conclusion: The Hindi versions of WEMWBS, SWBS, and MHLC have good cross-language equivalence, internal consistency, and test–retest reliability. It is expected that these validated scales will stimulate more research in this area, focusing on evaluating the association of clinical parameters along with well-being and locus of control.
