The Well-Being of 12 - to 16-Year-Old Adolescents and their Parents: Results from 1999 to 2003 Spanish Samples 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

This study adopts satisfaction with life as a whole and satisfaction with specific life domains as indicators to analyse the
relationships between the well-being of 12 to 16-year-old adolescents and some related constructs such as self-esteem, perceived
control and perceived social support. Well-being indicators from a 2003 Spanish sample using an 11-point scale (N = 1,634) are compared with an equivalent 1999 Spanish sample using a 5-point scale (N = 1,618). The different results obtained from the 2003 sample with a Principal Component Analysis (PCA) using a shorter and
a longer list of life domains are also discussed. A sub-sample of the adolescents’ results from the 2003 sample are compared
with their parents’ answers, using the same well-being indicators. Using a list of 8 life domains, and despite the change
of scale used, overall results show no relevant changes in adolescents’ satisfaction with life domains between 1999 and 2003
in Spain and are in agreement with normative data expected from western societies [Cummins: 1998, Social Indicators Research
43, pp. 307–334; Cummins et al.: 2001, Australian Unity Well-being Index (Australian Centre on Quality of Life, Deakin University,
Melbourne)]. Adolescents’ overall life satisfaction has been shown to correlate consistently with the other well-being related
constructs. However, it clearly decreases with age over the period studied. The results also show that increasing the list
of life domains has a major impact on the structure of the results obtained. When we compare results from parents with those
from their own child, outstanding differences in well-being appear between generations: few domain satisfaction dimensions
show significant correlation between parents and children and more than 20% of the population studied shows high discrepancies
in the answers in four domains. 相似文献

In drug treatment outcome literature, a focus on objective and socially desirable indicators of change (e.g. no drug use)
has predominated, while outcome indicators that are important for drug users themselves (e.g. quality of life, satisfaction
with treatment) have largely been neglected. Nonetheless, Quality of Life (QoL) has become an important concept to evaluate
effectiveness of treatment in mental health care research and disability studies. Given the almost exclusive focus on Health-related
Quality of Life (HRQOL) in substance abuse research and the neglect of clients’ perspectives in this field, we explore in
this study the concept of QoL as perceived by drug users. Focus group discussions (n = 9) were organised in various treatment settings and community services for drug users in the region of Ghent, Belgium to
identify important dimensions of QoL and their interpretation by drug users. Data were clustered and analysed based on the
theoretical framework of Robert Schalock (Quality of life. Volume 1: Conceptualization and measurement, 1996). The domains
‘personal relationships’, ‘social inclusion’ and ‘self-determination’ were discussed most frequently by the participants.
They stressed the importance of a supportive social network in particular. It can be concluded that QoL is not primarily associated
by drug users with health and it involves much more than the aspects typically represented in measures of HRQOL. 相似文献

South Africa celebrated ten years of democracy in 2004. This special issue of Social Indicators Research (SIR) reviews developments that have impacted on the quality of life of ordinary South Africans during the transition period. The issue updates an earlier volume of SIR (Volume 41) published in 1997 and as a stand-alone volume. The earlier volume was initiated following SIR editor Alex Michalos’ first visit to South Africa. This update on quality of life in South Africa follows on his return visit to the country in 2004 to see firsthand the changes that had occured in the meantime. This introductory article outlines major achievements of and setbacks for the new democracy and the challenges facing it in future. It provides the backround for the evaluations of a range of quality of life domains and issues including poverty and inequality, crime, the HIV/AIDS epidemic, migration and housing, religiosity, reconciliation, and optimism for the future which are covered in the eleven articles that follow. The introduction divides the articles under the headings of challenges, achievements, monitoring quality of life, and social capital for the future. The overview article concludes that improvements in quality of life have been uneven but goodwill and a positive outlook bode well for South African quality of life in future. 相似文献

The main purpose of this study was to investigate the utility of importance weighting when importance ranks were considered
as the weighting values by (1) examining the range-of-affect hypothesis in the within-subject context and (2) comparing performances
of weighted and unweighted satisfaction scores in predicting overall judgment of subjective well-being. Participants were
167 undergraduates at National Taiwan University. The mean age was 19.80 years (SD = 1.98). They were first asked to complete the measurements for global life satisfaction and overall QOL and then completed
a QOL questionnaire for rating satisfaction, perceived have–want discrepancy on 12 life domains and ranking importance on
these domains. Hierarchical linear modeling with a random-coefficients regression model was applied to examine the range-of-affect
hypothesis in the within-subject context. Correlation analysis was applied to evaluate performances of weighted and unweighted
satisfaction scores in predicting overall judgment of subjective well-being. Results of this study supported the range-of-affect
hypothesis, showing that the relationship between item have–want discrepancy and item satisfaction is stronger for high importance
items than low importance items for a given individual. Correlation analysis found that the four weighted satisfaction scores
computed from the algorithms proposed by Hsieh (Social Indicators Research 61:227–240, 2003) were not superior to unweighted
satisfaction score in predicting overall QOL and global life satisfaction. All these findings suggested that weighting satisfaction
scores with importance ranks may not have theoretical basis and empirical contribution. 相似文献

Changes in quality of life perceptions in Saskatoon,Saskatchewan: comparing survey results from 2001 and 2004 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

There is a growing interest in quality of life (QoL) as an integrated approach to addressing key social, environmental and
economic determinants of health. The University of Saskatchewan’s Community-University Institute for Social Research (CUISR)
has examined the process and results of a multi-stakeholder approach to the ongoing sustainability of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
as a healthy city with an improving and a more equitably distributed QoL. Using quantitative and qualitative analysis, this
research has examined QoL across three locales in Saskatoon—representing Low, Middle and High socio-economic status neighbourhoods.
Two large telephone surveys were conducted with residents of the city in 2001 and 2004. This paper presents the major findings
from these two surveys according to four overarching research questions posed by the CUISR QoL team. The questions relate
to a number of QoL issues including the socio-demographic characteristics of respondents, place related measures, aspects
influencing excellent or very good QoL in Saskatoon and feelings of a strong sense of place. The paper also assesses the changes
in the results of the four questions between 2001 and 2004.

Satisfaction with life correlates with other measures of subjective wellbeing and correlates predictably with individual characteristics
and overall health. Social indicators and subjective wellbeing measures are necessary to evaluate a society and can be used
to produce national indicators of happiness. This study therefore aims to help close the gap in wellbeing data for Thailand.
The specific aims are to: (1) calculate the Thai PWI and domain scores using a large scale sample; (2) examine the level of
life satisfaction of Thais when compared to international standards; (3) examine the Thai PWI and domains in relation to demographic,
socioeconomic, and geographic characteristics. Our report derives from the findings on the Personal Wellbeing Index (PWI)
in a large national cohort of Sukhothai Thammathirat Open University adult students living all over Thailand (n = 87,134). This Thai cohort had an overall PWI of 70.0 on a scale from 0 to 100 which is consistent with Western populations.
The ‘spirituality and religion’ domain had the highest average score. ‘Standard of living’, ‘future security’ and ‘achievement
in life’ made the largest contribution to overall ‘satisfaction in life as a whole’. These domains also show a positive trend
with increasing age, being married, higher income, more education, more household assets, and rural residence. The PWI will
be an important tool for policymakers to understand the subjective wellbeing of population groups especially as Thailand is
undergoing a political and economic transition. 相似文献

To analyze the influence of different health status dimensions and quality of life (QoL) domains on older adults’ subjective
health, and to assess the role that residential satisfaction plays in these relationships. A QoL survey was conducted on a
representative sample of the community-dwelling older adult population in Madrid province (Spain). Logistic regression models
were applied to studying: the health status dimensions associated with satisfaction with health; the relationship between
satisfaction with health and other QoL domains; and, the influence of these domains on satisfaction with life. Sociodemographic
and residential characteristics were included in all the models. The determinants of satisfaction with health in the first
model were: mobility, usual activities, morbidity, and satisfaction with neighborhood. QoL domains associated with health
were: leisure activities, neighborhood, and finances. Satisfaction with life was explained by these three domains, along with
age, family and health. In sum, leisure, neighborhood, and finances showed a positive effect on satisfaction with health and
with life. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to test a fundamental assumption concerning 27 of the most frequently used measures to assess aspects
of the quality of people’s lives, e.g., measures concerning happiness, satisfaction with life as a whole, with the quality
of one’s life, with domains of life (job, marriage, friendships), and with perceived gaps between what one has compared to
what one wants, what one’s neighbor has and so on. The assumption is that such measures are sensitive to changes in the circumstances
of one’s life measured by self-perceptions of change and by self-assessments of the net balance of salient positive and negative
events one has experienced in some specified period of time. A total of 462 residents of British Columbia distributed across
3 different panels completed mailed-out questionnaires at 3 points in time in 2005, 06 and 07. Among other things, we found
that measuring year-by-year changes in respondents’ life circumstances by reports of their own perception and experienced
life events, on average the values of the 27 variables changed in ways that were consistent with respondents’ reported changes
in 49.7% of the cases examined. The success rate of the assumption using self-perceptions of change (61.7%) was much higher
than the success rate using a net balance of experienced events (37.3%). 相似文献

This paper presents a study of the relationship between the psychological well-being of Spanish adolescents from 12 to 16 years
old and the values they aspire to for the future (N = 1,618). Adolescents’ well-being is explored through (a) their satisfaction with 19 specific life domains, (b) the Personal
Well-Being Index (Cummins, Social Indicators Research, 43, 307−334, 1998) and (c) an item on overall satisfaction with life. The values they aspire to are explored by means of a list
of 23 personal qualities or values. Satisfaction domains and values aspired to have been grouped into dimensions using principal
component analysis (PCA). Boys scored significantly higher on the materialistic values dimension and the capacities and knowledge
related values dimension, while girls scored higher on the interpersonal relationship related values dimension. The youngest
adolescents scored higher on materialistic values, while the oldest scored higher on interpersonal relationships related values.
Such results are similar to those obtained in a previous study, using a shorter version of the lists of satisfaction domains
and of values aspired to and a sample of 8,995 adolescents and 4,381 of their parents from five different countries. In both
studies results suggest that values aspired to can be considered a well-being related construct. However, an important change
appears in the latest Spanish sample: Family values no longer fit with the interpersonal relationships related values dimension
in the PCA, and now function as a separate value dimension which shows no correlation with overall life satisfaction, the
PWI, or life satisfaction domains with the exception of family satisfaction. Interestingly, family values have also changed
their loading dimension in the PCA developed with the answers from a sample of parents about the values they aspire to for
their own child’s future (N = 723). Parents’ responses were compared with those of their own child, with concordances observed in about half of the families,
low discrepancies in about one third and high or very high discrepancies in about 20%. Although the results of this study
have their limitations, they suggest support for the hypothesis that important changes in values aspired to may be taking
place over a short period of time, consistent with the findings of changes in values in several countries (Inglehart, Modernization and postmodernization. Cultural, economic and political change in 43 societies, Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1997), but apparently with no outstanding impact on adolescents’ well-being. 相似文献

Normative Life Satisfaction in Chinese Societies 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Research over several decades about subjective life satisfaction has led to the conclusion that the majority of people seem
to be satisfied with their lives when their social and physical needs are met. In empirical studies which have used self-report
instruments, this trend is reflected in respondents’ consistent preference for the positive end of scales. This led to the
suggestion that there is a normative range for life satisfaction, which should hold true for general population data and,
therefore, serve as a reference point, or a gold standard, for comparison (Cummins Social Indicators Research, 35, 179–200, 1995, Social Indicators Research, 43, 307–334, 1998). Subsequent research has shown that Western and non-Western samples generally conform to the normative range,
but more data are needed from Chinese societies. In an attempt to remedy this situation, this paper investigates normative
life satisfaction there. This paper reanalyses published and unpublished data from various Chinese societies (People’s Republic
of China, Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore, and Taiwan) in order to confirm whether or not they lie within the normative range
for non-Western countries. The results provide support for the relevance of Cummins’s normative range in Chinese societies.
That the normative range generalised to the present study is a very useful finding, as it supports its utility for Chinese
samples, and adds support to a theoretical explanation – i.e. the Wellbeing Homeostatisis theory—in Chinese groups. 相似文献

Previous research has shown that materialism relates negatively to satisfaction with many life domains. The present study
broadens this body of research by examining the relationship between three dimensions of materialism and eight quality of
life (QOL) domains in a large, diverse sample of U.S. respondents. Two hypotheses were tested: First, overall measures of
materialism and satisfaction with QOL were thought to be inversely related. Second, the three dimensions of materialism and
QOL domains were hypothesized to be negatively correlated. Results show that overall materialism and its happiness dimension
were consistently negatively related to all eight measures of QOL. Materialism’s centrality and success dimensions were negatively
correlated with seven and six of the eight QOL domains, respectively. Findings are discussed in light of Humanistic and Organismic
theories, and other implications are considered. 相似文献

This study examines the range-of-affect hypothesis in a within-subject context using the weighting situation faced in quality
of life (QOL) measurement. Data collected in Wu and Yao’s (2006b) study were used (332 undergraduates at National Taiwan University). The mean age was 19.80 years (std = 1.98). They completed a QOL questionnaire and indicated satisfaction, importance, and perceived have–want discrepancy on
12 life domains. Hierarchical linear modeling with a random-coefficients regression model was applied. At the first level
(within-individual level), the satisfaction scores for each item were regressed on the have-want discrepancy, importance,
and the interaction between have-want discrepancy and importance (have-want discrepancy × importance) of the same item. At
the second level (between-individual level), the intercept, coefficients of have-want discrepancy, importance and the interaction
between have-want discrepancy and importance at the first level were regarded as varying randomly over all participants. Results
of this study supported the range-of-affect hypothesis, showing that the relationship between item have-want discrepancy and
item satisfaction is stronger for high importance items than low importance items for a given individual. Implications for
important weighting on item satisfaction scores were discussed. 相似文献

The Subjective Well-being Construct: A Test of its Convergent,Discriminant, and Factorial Validity 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Using structural equation modeling, we found empirical support for the prevailing theory that subjective well-being consists
of three domains: (1) cognitive evaluations of one’s life (i.e., life satisfaction or happiness); (2) positive affect; and
(3) negative affect. Multiple indicators of satisfaction/happiness were shown to have strong convergent validity as well as
discriminant validity from positive and negative affect. Positive and negative affect likewise exhibited discriminant validity
from one another. At both the item and scale levels of analysis, we obtained an
intercorrelated three-factor solution corresponding to the three proposed subjective
well-being domains. 相似文献

Importance has been Considered in Satisfaction Evaluation: an Experimental Examination of Locke’s Range-of-affect Hypothesis 总被引:2,自引:4,他引:2
Importance weighting is a common practice in quality of life (QOL) measurement research. Based on the widespread idea that
important domains should make a greater contribution to individuals’ QOL total score, the weighting procedure of multiplying
item satisfaction by an item’s importance has been adopted in many QOL instruments. Locke’s [1969, Organizational Behavior and Human Performance
4, 309–336; 1976, Handbook of Industrial and Organizational Psychology. Rand McNally, Chicago, pp. 1297–1343] range-of-affect hypothesis indicated that a satisfaction evaluation is determined
by the have-want discrepancy, importance, and the interaction of the have-want discrepancy and importance, implying that a
satisfaction evaluation incorporates the judgment of importance and weighting the satisfaction score with the importance score
is unnecessary. The purpose of the current study was to address the issue of importance weighting by examining Locke’s range-of-affect
hypothesis in the context of QOL research. A within-subject experiment was conducted to see if, given a varying amount of
discrepancy, participants would reveal whether or not satisfaction/dissatisfaction is related to the dimension of importance
placed on the object. Forty undergraduate students at National Taiwan University participated in the current study. Results
revealed that the association between have-want discrepancy and object satisfaction is stronger on the high important dimension
than the less important dimension. Generally, the results were consistent with Locke’s range-of-affect hypothesis, revealing
that a satisfaction evaluation has incorporated the judgment of item importance, suggesting that the procedure of importance
weighting is unnecessary.

This study aimed at adapting the Questionnaire Quality of Life in Epilepsy (QOLIE-89 version 1.0: Vickrey et al., 1993), Quality
of Life in Epilepsy QoLIE-89 RAND (Santa Monica, CA)] so that it may be used to measure quality of life (QoL) of older adults,
healthy or suffering from various chronic illnesses. The participants were 202 older adults recruited from the Pathology Clinic
of a general hospital in Thessaloniki, Greece, and from Community Centers for Older adults. The mean age was 71 years. Of
them, 51 suffered from diabetes, 50 from cardiovascular disease, 52 suffered from arthritis/myoskeletal diseases, and 49 were
healthy. The QOLIE-89 inventory comprises 89 items that measure 17 topics. Exploratory factor analysis revealed 3 factors,
namely, health (i.e., physical health and functioning), cognition, and social behavior. Cronbach’s α for the various topics in each group of participants ranged from 0.60 to 0.90 with a number of exceptions with very low α.
Concurrent validity was tested through correlations with measures of subjective well being, affect, life satisfaction, and
adaptation to old age. A series of ANOVAs showed differences between the healthy and the chronic illness groups of participants
but no clearcut differences between the three chronic illness groups. Further study on the adaptation of QOLIE-89 is needed
so that its potential as a general measure of QoL in older adults is determined. 相似文献

Objective: To investigate the relative effect that diabetes has on self-rated health, satisfaction with various specific domains of
life, and satisfaction with quality of life operationalized as happiness, satisfaction with life as a whole, and satisfaction
with overall quality of life. Design: Mixed methods – mailed survey and chart review. Study Population: All people aged 17 years or older, residing in the Bella Coola Valley in September 2001 and having a chart at the Bella
Coola Medical Clinic. Main outcome measures: Self-rated health, self-rated stress, rating of self-care received, global life satisfaction (Life as whole; Overall standard
of living; Overall quality of life; and Overall happiness); and satisfaction with various domains of life. Results: A total of 968 useable surveys were returned for a response rate of 56 (968/1734). Age was negatively related to General
Health, but positively related to Life Satisfaction. Not being of Aboriginal descent was positively related to all of the
four global health indicators and to Subjective Well-Being. After accounting for age, race, and weight, we found that diabetics
report significantly poorer self-rated health, and lower satisfaction with health scores compared to people without diabetes.
Participants with diabetes who were the least compliant with their treatment regimens rated their current health significantly
lower than those who were the most compliant. People with diabetes were, however, no more likely to be unhappy or dissatisfied
with their lives as a whole or with the overall quality of their lives compared to people without diabetes. Among people with
diabetes, however, those who used insulin did report significantly less satisfaction with the overall quality of their lives
than those who didn’t use insulin. Conclusion: Diabetics understand they have poorer health than others, but they do not have poorer global life satisfaction scores. This
may explain why it is difficult to get diabetics to adopt behaviours which may lower their quality of life – e.g., diet plans,
lose weight, engage in exercise programs, or take medications. 相似文献

South Africa has a Gini co-efficient of 62, one of the world’s highest (Finmark: Project FinScope 2004 and 2005, FinMark Trust, Johannesburg). Hence, measures of wealth are ubiquitous social indicators in South Africa. However, a growing emphasis in government towards measurable service delivery targets and remedial action to redress the inequalities of our past makes the reliable measurement of people’s quality of life in greater depth in quantitative terms an imperative.We have developed a simple framework to measure people’s quality of life in key domains that extend beyond that simply of wealth, using composite indices to allow progress to be tracked and to make valid comparisons across our diverse population. Termed the Everyday Quality of Life Index (EQLi), it comprises a suite of measures encompassing socio-economic status (with special reference to poverty), urbanisation, health (nutrition, exercise and fitness), stress/pressure, quality of the environment, satisfaction of human needs, connectivity, optimism, subjective well-being (happiness, after Diener and Lucas: 2000, in M. Lewis, J.M. Haviland (eds.), Handbook of Emotions. (2nd ed) (Guilford, New York)), and the overall measure of well-being, the EQLi itself.The initial framework was developed from a structured questionnaire administered to a probability sample of 2000 South African adults in 2002. From this, a 52-item shortlist was derived to create the series of measures. This has been tested and refined in three subsequent annual studies, each of 3500 people across urban and rural South Africa. In 2004, items involving work as well as determining the balance of skills and challenges at work using the concept of “flow” (Csikszentmihalyi: 1990, Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience (Harper and Row, New York)) were added.This paper outlines the rationale behind the selection and development of these measures, describes the EQL of South Africans using these and other key measures and concludes with implications for policy-makers and service providers in South Africa. Some marketing implications are also given: there is a growing emphasis worldwide on corporate social investment initiatives and, particularly in South Africa, on community upliftment and development – poverty alleviation and improving the lives of the disadvantaged (“people” rather than “consumers”). Further, people’s well-being affects how they react to marketing activities. 相似文献

This study examined the mediating role of self-perceived health between perceived spirituality, religiosity, and life satisfaction
among a stratified, random sample of college students, while controlling for gender. Although both models displayed excellent
fit criteria, the perceived spirituality and life satisfaction model was fully mediated by self-perceived health χ2 (n=459, 4) = 1.64, p=0.80, CFI =0.99, TLI=0.99), and the perceived religiosity and life satisfaction model was partially mediated by self-perceived
health χ2 (n=459, 10) = 22.29, p=0.01 CFI = 0.99, TLI = 0.99). Both models were equal for men and women. Students who describe themselves as spiritual (or
religious) are likely to report greater self-perceived health and greater self-perceived health likely influences life satisfaction
for both men and women. Results preliminarily support the contention that life satisfaction is related to differing reported
health status, whether physical or mental, and that life satisfaction may be influenced by religiosity and spirituality engagement.
Implications for colleges and universities are discussed. 相似文献

This paper is a sequel to Sirgy et al. (Social Ind. Res. 68(3) (2004) 251), “The Impact of Globalization on a Country’s Quality of Life: Toward an Integrated Model” published in
Social Indicators Research. That paper conceptualized globalization in terms of the free flow of four major components: (1) goods and services, (2) people,
(3) capital, and (4) information. The current paper focuses on the free flow of goods and services, one of the four major
components of globalization. Specifically, we (1) articulate the trade globalization construct, (2) show the complex mediating
effects between trade globalization and QOL, and (3) describe under what conditions these positive vs. negative QOL effects are likely to occur. We develop a set of theoretical propositions to capture these
mediating and moderating effects. Based on the theoretical model, we suggest the following public policy recommendations:
(1) Encourage exporting firms not to outsource jobs. (2) Encourage firms to export more products in ways that can enhance
their production efficiency. (3) Discourage firms from exporting culturally sensitive (and possibly offensive) products to
culturally distant countries. (4) Encourage firms to export more products with potential for technology transfer. (5) Encourage
firms in industries with a significant comparative advantage to increase exports. (6) Encourage imports of products that do
not compete with high employment domestic industries where workers cannot easily transition to more productive employment.
(7) Impose trade barriers as short-term solution to help␣threatened industries while helping those industries retool to become
more competitive. (8)␣Assist displaced workers by re-training them to shift to industries with comparative advantage. 相似文献

Family Life Quality and Emotional Quality of Life in Chinese Adolescents with and Without Economic Disadvantage 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:1
Chinese secondary school students (N = 2758) responded to measures of perceived family life quality (parenting quality and parent–child relational quality) and
emotional quality of life (hopelessness, mastery, life satisfaction and self-esteem). Parenting quality included different
aspects of parental behavioral control (parental knowledge, expectation, monitoring, discipline and demandingness as well
as parental control defined in terms of indigenous Chinese concepts), parental psychological control, and parental responsiveness
whereas parent–child relational quality included satisfaction with parental control, child’s readiness to communicate with
the parents, parental trust of the child, and child’s trust of the parent. Results showed that parenting quality and parent–child
relational quality in poor families were generally poorer than those of non-poor families and the differences were more pronounced
in paternal parenting quality and father–child relational quality than in maternal parenting quality and mother–child relational
quality. Emotional quality of life of adolescents experiencing economic disadvantage was also found to be poorer than that
of adolescents not experiencing economic disadvantage. The present findings replicate the previous research findings in the
literature and generate a pioneering dataset based on Chinese adolescents at Secondary 2 level in Hong Kong. 相似文献
