In this study, we examined the relations between dimensions of Perceived Emotional Intelligence (PEI) and classic constructs, such as social support, on depression, stress, and subjective well-being indicators (life satisfaction and happiness). The study also sought to determine whether PEI dimensions accounted for a significant portion of the variance beyond that of classic constructs in the study of depression, stress, and well-being outcomes in a sample of 442 unemployed subjects. Results indicated that social support and all PEI dimensions are found to be significant and negatively related to depression and stress, and these variables were also found to be significant and positively associated with life satisfaction and happiness. Additionally, results using regression analysis indicated that PEI, and specifically use of emotions and regulation of emotions, explain a significant amount of the variance of all outcomes after controlling for socio-demographics and social support dimensions. Finally, theoretical and practical implications of these constructs and their relation with psychological adjustment and well-being in unemployed people are discussed.

The Impact

Background: Subjective well-being (SWB) has a protective role in mental health maintenance and is prone to change during short stressful moments, such as pregnancy. Longstanding research suggests that social support (SS) from the partner and family members of pregnant women directly or indirectly acts as a buffer against negative mental outcomes. For happier pregnancies, it is important to understand how SS and pregnancy affect the SWB.Objective: This review aims to examine the extended association of being pregnant and SS on the SWB of pregnant women.Methods: A systematic review was conducted in PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar. Articles published in peer-reviewed journals were included regardless of the year and if they had assessed the impact of at least one SWB or SS outcome among healthy pregnant women. The tools of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute were used for quality assessment.Results: Thirty-four studies that assessed the domains of SWB measurements, such as happiness, quality of life (QoL), life satisfaction, positive and negative effects, and well-being, were included and its association with either pregnancy or SS was summarized. Variable results, such as life satisfaction, happiness, and mental component of QoL, were found to be high during pregnancy, but positive emotion and physical components of QoL had decreased. Almost universally, SS during pregnancy was found to have a positive association with all measurements of SWB.Conclusion: This study had found that, despite some arising trends, pregnancy itself does not necessarily have similar impacts on SWB across healthy pregnant women. However, SS had a significant effect on SWB.

Adolescence is a stage characterized by many biological and psychosocial changes, all of which may result in a decrease in subjective well-being. It is therefore necessary to identify those factors that contribute to increased life satisfaction, in order to promote positive development among young people. The aim of this study is to examine the dynamics of a set of variables that contribute to life satisfaction. A total of 1,188 adolescents (aged between 12 and 16 years) completed the Perceived Social Support from Family and Friends and Perception of the School Environment Questionnaires, the Trait Meta Mood Scale (TMMS), Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale-10 (CD-RISC), and Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) for social support, emotion regulation, resilience, and life satisfaction. By applying structural equation modeling (SEM), the results reveal a direct prediction of family support, emotion regulation, and resilience on life satisfaction. Support from friends and emotion regulation was also found to explain resilience, and support from family and teachers was found to predict emotion regulation. In conclusion, emotion regulation and social support were found to indirectly affect life satisfaction among adolescents through resilience. The theoretical and practical implications of these results are discussed.

Abstract.FAMILY AND WELL-BEING: CONTRIBUTIONS TO INCLUSIVE EDUCATIONIn our times, research on the well-being and quality of life have come to assume a central role in the discourses and practices of professionals working in the area of people with psychosocial frailty. The scientific literature emphasizes the vastness of this line of study, which also has gained visibility in research on families of children and young people with Special Educational Needs (SEN), in particular, the influence of social support (formal and informal) in dimensions related to health and well-being of caregivers. Diener (2009) provides a definition of subjective well-being as an evaluative response of individuals with regard to his own life, in terms of satisfaction (cognitive element of the evaluation), in terms of affectivity (stable emotional element). In an inclusive approach and in line with national and international guidelines, we recognize the role of parents in defending the interests of the children and educational decision-makers participating in the educational process, so that the promotion of health and well-being are key areas in the context of educational and therapeutic intervention. This study aims to make a comparative analysis of parents of children with and without special educational needs, with regard to social support (size of social network and satisfaction with support) and parental well-being (life satisfaction). The study sample consists of 152 and 149 caregivers, respectively, parents of children with and without SEN. The statistical analysis reveals that the two groups of parents have significant differences in well-being and partly on social support (satisfaction with support). Regarding the subgroups of parents of children with SEN (cognitive, motor and Autism Spectrum Disorders) we observed statistical differences; parents of children with autism showed significantly higher values in social support (availability of support and satisfaction with support) and satisfaction with life.Keywords: inclusive education, life satisfaction, parental well-being, social supportResumo.Hodiernamente, as pesquisas sobre o bem-estar e qualidade de vida têm vindo a assumir uma centralidade nos discursos e nas práticas dos profissionais que intervêm na área das populações com fragilidade psicossocial. A literatura científica acentua a vastidão desta linha de estudo, a qual também tem ganho visibilidade no âmbito da investigação sobre as famílias de crianças e jovens com Necessidades Educativas Especiais (NEE), em particular, sobre a influência do suporte social (formal e informal) nas dimensões relacionadas com a saúde e o bem-estar dos cuidadores. Diener (2009) apresenta uma definição de bem-estar subjetivo como sendo uma resposta avaliativa das pessoas relativamente à sua própria vida, quer em termos de satisfação (elemento cognitivo da avaliação), quer em termos de afectividade (elemento emocional estável). No quadro de uma abordagem inclusiva e, em convergência com as orientações nacionais e internacionais, reconhecemos o papel dos pais na defesa dos interesses educativos dos filhos e decisores participantes no processo educativo, pelo que a promoção da sua saúde e bem-estar constituem áreas chave no contexto da intervenção educativa e terapêutica. O presente estudo tem como propósito fazer uma análise comparativa dos pais de crianças com e sem necessidades educativas especiais, no que concerne ao suporte social (dimensão da rede social e satisfação com o apoio) e ao bem-estar parental (satisfação com a vida). A amostra é constituída por 152 e 149 cuidadores, respetivamente, pais de crianças com e sem NEE. As análises estatísticas revelam que os dois grupos de pais apresentam diferenças significativas no bem-estar e, parcialmente, no suporte social (satisfação com o suporte). Relativamente aos subgrupos de pais de crianças com NEE (problemas cognitivos, motores e Perturbações do Espectro do Autismo) observamos diferenças estatísticas; os progenitores das crianças com autismo revelam valores significativamente mais elevados no suporte social (disponibilidade do suporte e satisfação com o suporte) e na satisfação com a vida.Palavras-chave: educação inclusiva, bem-estar parental, satisfação com a vida, suporte social, necessidades educativas especiais

Using longitudinal data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP), this paper investigates how pro-active time-use (e.g., in sports/arts/socializing) relates to subjective well-being of the unemployed and their probability of finding a new job. Allowing for a variety of socio-demographic and -economic observed characteristics, we find that pro-activity is negatively associated with the well-being loss upon unemployment. That is, the negative unemployment shock on their well-being is mitigated through various stress-reducing activities including, in particular, art participation, socializing, going on trips and visiting a church. We also find that the probability of returning to the labor market later is positively associated with pro-activity during the unemployment period. The results are robust to various checks including estimators, measures and individual personality characteristics which can correlate with time-use activities.

Overall Life Satisfaction

This study explores the subjective well-being, overall life satisfaction and perceived social support of Brazilian adolescents by analysing different models that explain the relationships among these three constructs. The sample is comprised of 1,588 adolescents (aged 12–16, 65.5% female), who answered the Personal Well-Being Index (PWI), a measure of Perceived Social Support of Family and Friends, and also an Overall Life Satisfaction single-item scale (OLS). MANOVA and ANOVA were used to assess the differences between groups, with respect to gender, it is observed that girls present lower means than boys for the OLS. Considering age, there was a significant decrease in the mean of the PWI with age. Boys present lower means of friends’ social support. Structural Equation Modelling was used to test theoretical frameworks on data. After analysing different models, the best fit model is presented using the PWI as a mediating factor between social support and satisfaction with life. The perception of social support from family and friends results to be a significant dimension of well-being among Brazilian adolescents. The importance of social support for the subjective well-being is explained by identifying how it contributes to the overall life satisfaction of adolescents.

Background:Nursing is a profession often characterized with high level of stress, physical and mental demands at work, which then can bring personal and social strains in nurses’ life. It is important to identify the factors, which can lead to nurses’ better subjective well-being.Objective:This study explores the relationship between subjective well-being (life satisfaction, happiness) and set of personal (self-esteem, affect regulation strategies) and social variables (family cohesion, social support).Method:411 participants were nursing part-time students, 79% females (M=25 years). They reported life satisfaction, happiness, strategies used by the Measure of Affect Regulation Styles classified into 6 scales: Behavioral, Cognitive, Situation-directed, Affect-directed, Disengagement and Avoidance, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, Family cohesion scale and shortened and adapted version of the Interpersonal Support Evaluation List belonging subscale, their gender, age and socioeconomic status.Results:Well-being variables were best predicted positively by behavioral and affect-focused strategies, social support, family cohesion and self-esteem. Both sets of personal and social variables showed similar predictive power.Conclusion:The findings of our study showed the importance of personal as well as social variables in predicting well-being among nursing students. Providing strong social support and good family cohesion, as well as using effective regulation strategies and having higher self-esteem would help in improving their life satisfaction and happiness.
