This study examined both the mediating and moderating effects of global self-esteem on the relationship between social support and subjective well-being among Chinese university students. Three hundred and ninety-one university students (260 males and 131 females) from two different Chinese universities completed the social support scale, the self-esteem scale and the subjective well-being scale. Hierarchical regression analysis showed that global self-esteem partially mediated the influence of social support on life satisfaction and positive affect, whereas it fully mediated the influence of social support on negative affect. Moreover, global self-esteem moderated the relationship between social support and life satisfaction, and positive affect, but not negative affect. When students reported a high level of global self-esteem, those with high social support reported higher scores in life satisfaction and positive affect than those with low social support. However, there were no differences in life satisfaction or positive affect between groups with high and low social support when global self-esteem was low. The significance and limitations of the results are discussed. 相似文献

This study examined the mediational role of self-esteem in accounting for the empirical link between perceived social support (parents, friends, and teachers) and school well-being (school satisfaction, positive affect in school, and negative affect in school). Participants were from China and were 221 early adolescents (Mage = 13.6) and 140 middle adolescents (Mage = 16.4). Among early adolescents, parent and teacher support, but not friend support, related significantly to positive school well-being. Among middle adolescents, friend and teacher support, but not parent support, significantly related to school well-being. For both early and middle adolescents, global self-esteem mediated relations between teacher support and school well-being. For early adolescents, global self-esteem mediated relations between parent support and school well-being; whereas for middle adolescents, global self-esteem mediated relations between friend support and school well-being. The findings supported socialcognitive models of well-being in Chinese context. Implications are discussed in the context of developmental and cultural considerations. 相似文献

This study explores the effect of providing regular help with personal care to a resident or non-resident parent or parent-in-law on different aspects of psychological well-being. We use cross-sectional data from the Norwegian Life Course, Ageing and Generation (LOGG) study (N ~ 15,000, age 18–79) and two-wave panel data from the Norwegian study on Life course, Ageing and Generation (NorLAG) (N ~ 3,000, age 40–79). We separate outcomes into cognitive well-being (life satisfaction, partnership satisfaction, self-esteem), affective well-being (happiness, positive and negative affect, depression, loneliness) and sense of mastery. Caregiver status is largely unrelated to these aspects of well-being, both in cross-section and longitudinally. One notable exception is that caring for a resident (but not a non-resident) parent relates to lower affective well-being among women, also longitudinally. This effect is more marked among unpartnered and lower educated women. In addition, caring for a non-resident parent is associated with a positive change in sense of mastery among women. The results reviewed and presented indicate that caregiving has less detrimental effects in the Nordic countries than in other countries, highlighting the role of social policies and care systems in shaping the impact of caregiving on well-being. 相似文献

The relationships among types of social support and different facets of subjective well-being (i.e., life satisfaction, positive affect, and negative affect) were examined in a sample of 1,111 individuals between the ages of 18 and 95. Using structural equation modeling we found that life satisfaction was predicted by enacted and perceived support, positive affect was predicted by family embeddedness and provided support, and negative affect was predicted by perceived support. When personality variables were included in a subsequent model, the influence of the social support variables were generally reduced. Invariance analyses conducted across age groups indicated that there were no substantial differences in predictors of the different types of subjective well-being across age. 相似文献

The factors associated with cognitions about problematic Internet use have been empirically tested in various studies. The
aim of the present study was to examine the mediator roles of both life satisfaction and self-esteem between affective components
of subjective well-being and cognitions about problematic Internet use. For this purpose, the model that was conceptualized
by Davis (Comput Human Behav 17:187–195, 2001), Caplan (Comput Human Behav 18:553–575 2002), and Lent et al. (J Vocat Behav 74:190–198 2009) was modified and used as the theoretical framework for this study. The impacts of life satisfaction and self-esteem on the
association between affective components of psychological well-being (positive and negative) and cognitions about problematic
Internet use were tested by using structural equation modeling (SEM) in a sample of 480 Turkish university students. The results
reveal that by playing a mediator role, self-esteem impacted positive/negative affect and life satisfaction and, hence, indirectly
influenced cognitions about problematic Internet use. Examining the roles of self-esteem and subjective well-being will provide
a new starting point for further studies. 相似文献

Subjective well-being is a broad, multifaceted construct comprising general satisfaction with life, satisfaction with life
domains (health, family, people, free time, self, housing, work, and finances), positive affect, and negative affect. Drawing
on representative data from middle-aged adults (N = 738), the authors used three different structural models to analyze the
interrelationships among these facets of subjective well-being. In a top-down model, a single factor representing global subjective
well-being explained the correlations found among the more specific facets of subjective well-being and exerted the strongest
influence on general satisfaction with life, satisfaction with health, and satisfaction with finances. In a bottom-up model,
satisfaction with the latter two domains had the strongest effect on global subjective well-being. The authors discuss the
implications of their findings for research on subjective well-being. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to explore comparatively personality variables, subjective well-being variables, and participation in daily life activities in 150 women aged 50 to 82 years with different employment status. Moreover, we also analyzed the extent to which personality and participation in daily life activities accounted for life satisfaction, positive affect, and negative affect. Results from analyses of variance showed that there were significant differences between women with different working status. Multiple regression analyses revealed that self-esteem, optimism, and social activities accounted for a significant amount of variance in predicting life satisfaction and positive affect. 相似文献

This longitudinal study examines the relationships between Chinese cultural beliefs about adversity and psychological well-being and problem behavior in 199 Chinese adolescents with economic disadvantage. Results showed that endorsement of Chinese cultural beliefs about adversity was concurrently related to measures of adolescent psychological well-being (existential well-being, mastery, life satisfaction, self-esteem and general psychiatric morbidity) and problem behavior (substance abuse and delinquency) at Time 1 and Time 2. Partial correlation and multiple regression analyses showed that while Chinese beliefs about adversity at Time 1 predicted changes in developmental outcomes at Time 2 (except self-esteem), developmental outcome variables at Time 1 did not predict changes in endorsement of Chinese cultural beliefs about adversity at Time 2. The present findings suggest that identification with Chinese cultural beliefs about adversity is an important factor that influences the psychosocial adjustment of Chinese adolescents experiencing economic disadvantage. 相似文献

The study explores and distinguishes links between parental status (childless persons, parents with residential children,
and empty nest parents) and a range of psychological well-being outcomes in midlife and old age. Data are from the first wave
of the Norwegian Life Course, Ageing and Generation (NorLAG) study (n = 5,189). We separate outcomes into cognitive (life satisfaction and self-esteem) and affective (positive and negative affect,
depression, loneliness) components. Parental status has a net effect on cognitive well-being among women, as childless women
report significantly lower life satisfaction and self-esteem than both mothers with residential children and empty nest mothers.
However, motherhood is inconsequential for affective well-being. Among men, parental status is unrelated to any of the well-being
aspects. Parental status effects are not modified by age, marital status, and education. The results demonstrate the importance
of investigating the effect of parental status and other objective circumstances on a range of psychological well-being outcomes.
Furthermore, the results reviewed and presented indicate somewhat more positive effects of parenthood in the Nordic countries
than in the US, highlighting the role of social policies in shaping the impact of parental status on well-being. 相似文献

Subjective Well-Being Structure: Confirmatory Factor Analysis in a Teachers’ Portuguese Sample 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Authors consider that subjective well-being is a theoretical construct that includes three components: life satisfaction,
positive affect and negative affect. Despite the numerous studies already conducted, divergences remain concerning how to
conceptualize these components within a global structure of subjective well-being. This study aims to examine the dimensionality
of the subjective well-being construct. A set of self-report questionnaires was used to assess life satisfaction, positive
and negative affect in 397 teachers of primary and high schools. A model of a tripartite structure was tested using a confirmatory
factor analysis. The results corroborate the premise that subjective well-being is a multidimensional construct that incorporates
three components: life satisfaction, positive affect and negative affect. Our findings reinforce the viewpoint that these
three components are moderately correlated and relatively independent and also strengthen the need for a complete SWB assessment
that includes adequate measures of all three components. 相似文献

Discrimination,Subjective Wellbeing,and the Role of Gender: A Mediation Model of LGB Minority Stress
《Journal of homosexuality》2012,59(2):238-259
ABSTRACTThe present study examined the link between discrimination and the three components of subjective wellbeing (positive and negative affect and life satisfaction) among a cisgender sample of lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) adults. Specifically, we investigated internalized homonegativity and expectations of rejection as potential mediators of the links between discrimination and subjective wellbeing among a sample of 215 participants. Results from our structural equation model demonstrated a strong, positive direct link between discrimination and negative affect. Discrimination also had small, negative indirect effects on life satisfaction through our two mediators. Interestingly, neither discrimination nor our two mediators were related with positive affect, demonstrating the need for future research to uncover potential buffers of this link. Finally, our model evidenced configural, metric, and scalar invariance, suggesting that our model applies well for both women and men. Practical implications and future directions for research are discussed. 相似文献

This study examined the relationship between perceived fairness of social policies and subjective well-being. Two types of
policies examined were related to income distribution and social security. Subjective well-being was measured by work and
life satisfaction. In addition, subjective well-beings between different income, age, and education groups in the context
of perceived social justice were compared. With data from a random telephone survey conducted in Beijing, China among 2,113
respondents, findings from structural equation modeling indicate perceived fairness of social security and income distribution
policies are positively associated with subjective well-being. After controlling for income, age, and education, the effect
of income distribution fairness on work satisfaction was still positive and significant but had decreased in intensity, while
the effect size on life satisfaction had changed little. Effects of social security fairness on both life and work satisfaction
were still significant but had changed in different directions after adding demographic variables, in which the effect on
life satisfaction had increased, while the effect on work satisfaction had decreased in size. 相似文献

Economic disadvantage,perceived family life quality,and emotional well-being in Chinese adolescents: A longitudinal study 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Over three consecutive years, Chinese secondary school students experiencing and not experiencing economic disadvantage (n = 280 and 2,187, respectively) responded to measures of perceived family life quality (parenting attributes and parent-child
relational quality) and emotional well-being (hopelessness, mastery, life satisfaction and self-esteem). While participants
experiencing economic disadvantage generally had more negative perceptions of parenting quality and parent-child relational
quality than did adolescents not experiencing economic disadvantage, the differences were more pronounced for the father-adolescent
dyad than for the mother-adolescent dyad. Emotional well-being was also different in adolescents with and without economic
disadvantage. Although adolescents experiencing different intensity of economic disadvantage differed on some paternal parenting
processes, no related differences were observed for other measures of family life quality and emotional well-being. The present
study fills the research gap pertinent to the relationship between economic disadvantage and family as well as emotional quality
of life in early adolescence in the Chinese culture.

The relationships between perceived economic stress (current economic hardship and future economic worry) and emotional quality of life (existential well-being, life satisfaction, self-esteem, sense of mastery, psychological morbidity) as well as problem behavior (substance abuse and delinquency) were examined in 1519 Chinese adolescents with and without economic disadvantage. Results showed that perceived economic stress was related to emotional quality of life as well as problem behavior in adolescents and the relationships were generally stronger in adolescents with economic disadvantage than in adolescents without economic disadvantage. Adolescents with higher levels of emotional quality of life displayed lower levels of adolescent problem behavior. Finally, adolescents with economic disadvantage displayed higher levels of current economic hardship and future economic worry than did adolescents without economic disadvantage. 相似文献

Affluence,Feelings of Stress,and Well-being 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Data from the Gallup World Poll highlighted the differential relations between perceived stress, well-being, and wealth at
the individual- versus nation-level. At the nation level, stress was a distinct concept from negative affect (NA). It correlated
positively with well-being (positive affect, life satisfaction, and domain satisfaction) and wealth (as measured by income,
gross domestic product, and modern conveniences). In contrast, NA correlated inversely with well-being and income. Although
similar to NA at the individual level, stress showed weaker negative relations with well-being than NA did. In sum, nation-level
stress and NA were related in the opposite direction to wealth (and poverty), well-being, and life expectancy. Furthermore,
the concept of stress differed at the individual and nation levels. For the former, stress appeared to be purely a negative
marker of affective well-being (albeit weaker than other discrete negative emotions); for the latter, it appeared to reflect
lifestyle differences that were strongly associated with wealth, and with affective and cognitive well-being to a smaller
degree. 相似文献

This 4-year longitudinal study examined the perceived school performance, life satisfaction, and hopelessness of Chinese adolescents in Hong Kong. Over the period of the study, perceived school performance and life satisfaction decreased, whereas adolescent hopelessness increased. Consistent with our predictions, a positive relationship between perceived school performance and life satisfaction, a negative relationship between life satisfaction and hopelessness, and a negative relationship between perceived school performance and hopelessness were found. Structural equation modeling further showed that life satisfaction functioned as a mediator in the relationship between perceived school performance and hopelessness. The findings underscore the role of perceived school performance in adolescent well-being and suggest that promoting life satisfaction is a possible way of reducing adolescent hopelessness. 相似文献

Life Satisfaction Among Ethnic Minorities: The Role of Discrimination and Group Identification 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
For most immigrants and ethnic minority groups, everyday life in the country of settlement raises question of adaptation and
belonging. Aside from factors such as lower income, lower education and poorer health, being an ethnic minority member carries
additional factors that can lower general life satisfaction. Using data from two studies the present paper shows that ethnic
minority group members (Turkish-Dutch) have lower general life satisfaction than a comparable majority group (Dutch) because
they are less satisfied with their life in the country of settlement. In addition, Study 2 showed that higher perceived structural
discrimination was associated with lower life satisfaction in the country of settlement, but also with higher ethnic group
identification that, in turn, made a positive contribution to general life satisfaction. 相似文献

Using data from the European Social Survey, we examine the overall life satisfaction of individuals, focusing on the influence of belonging to an ethnic minority group. Building on the existing literature, we control for immigrant and citizenship statuses and discrimination perceptions as well as several commonly-used socio-demographic variables. Through the use of interaction terms in an ordered probit model, we demonstrate that the magnitude of the negative impact of discrimination perceptions depends on the type of discrimination as well as minority membership status. Similarly, we find that first and second generation immigrants differ in their levels of life satisfaction and also according to whether they consider themselves as an ethnic minority member. Citizenship status turns out to be of secondary relevance since it is found to be a significant factor only in models that exclude the immigration variables. In the presence of the aforementioned control variables, ethnic minority membership is also found not to have a universal stand-alone effect on life satisfaction, but only for individuals with certain attributes as indicated by the interaction terms in the empirical model. 相似文献
