Utilizing a correlational survey methodology, voluntary responses were received from 161 social studies educators across Türkiye. Information was gathered through the Psychological Well-being Scale (PWBS) and a demographic details form. Findings indicated that there was negligible variation in teachers' PWB based on age and gender. However, a significant difference emerged based on professional seniority.

The Psychological Well-Being in Building Resilience of Indonesian Muslim Families: A Study of Hussein Muhammad's Thought

The relationship between husband and wife in the household is strongly influenced by the socio-cultural conditions of a society. In Indonesia, there are still many facts of life in husband-wife relationships that are still dominated by men in most aspects of life, both the distribution of rights and obligations as well as the authority and involvement of the parties in determining important family steps and decisions. This is because the culture in Indonesia is built on an unbalanced or unequal order in which men are placed as superior parties over inferior women. Husein Muhammad’s thinking can place the issue of husband-wife relations in a balanced and fair manner with all the variations of interpretation from century to century, from one hadith to another, and from one interpreter to another. His notion is also undoubtedly relevant to the concept of psychological well-being, which states that for a person to bring out their best potential, a person must be psychologically well, and one of the aspects that can affect psychological well-being is the pattern of relationships in the family. So, a balanced and fair relationship pattern will bring out the best potential in the family.

Жас әйелдердің психологиялық саулығын зерттеудің теориялық негіздері

The article notes the special place of women in the state and society, at the same time, unfortunately, such an important role of the second half of humanity in modern society is not fully realized. In such conditions, little attention is paid to the psychological well-being and quality of life of women in general, and young women in particular. The real psychological state of young women, their uncomfortable state, their helplessness, feelings of loneliness and unhappiness are not fully investigated. The domestic violence that takes place leads to the fact that they become victims of difficult life situations. The general situation, as well as the priority of human rights around the world, and the positive dynamics of the development of society and competitive living conditions of people encourage people to a comfortable, harmonious life, maintaining their productive level, to maintain the balance of positive and negative aspects of their mental moods. Today, the subjective psychological well-being of a person and young women, in particular their quality of life, happiness, life satisfaction, and their other problems, are actively studied in economics, political science, cultural studies, healthcare, social and psychological sciences. The paper shows the approaches and conclusions of scientists on the concept of psychological well-being and quality of life, a sense of satisfaction, happiness, and also considers ways to study factors, lifestyle, methodological and theoretical aspects, mechanisms of objective and subjective assessment of human life and identifies ways to study the psychological well-being of young women.

ПСИХОЛОГИЧЕСКОЕ БЛАГОПОЛУЧИЕ КАК УСЛОВИЕ ПРОФЕССИОНАЛЬНОЙ САМОРЕАЛИЗАЦИИ ПЕДАГОГОВ

The article contains the results of empirical research, proving the relationship between psychological well-being and self-realization of the personality of teachers. The relevance of the research is due to the fact that at present, in connection with socio-political transformations in society, the requirements for a teacher, for the competence of a teacher in the field of education, upbringing and development of the younger generation, are significantly increasing. The high intellectual and emotional workload of pedagogical work adversely affects the preservation of the psychological health of specialists, worsening the opportunities for professional self-realization and the performance of high-quality pedagogical activities. At the same time, according to the authors, one of the conditions for successful self-realization of a teacher in professional activities is psychological well-being. The statistics of modern research on the problem of professional deformations shows a significant increase in teachers prone to emotional burnout and professional destruction. The most diverse aspects of these phenomena are considered, from the prerequisites and factors of burnout to their consequences on various spheres of life of pedagogical workers, while the problem of the relationship between psychological well-being and professional self-realization was not the subject of a separate study. The theoretical and methodological basis of the study on the designated problem was a systematic approach developed by domestic researchers B.F. Lomov, V.S. Merlin, V.D. Nebylitsin, A.I. Krupnov and others; polysystemic concept of self-realization of personality S.I. Kudinov (2014), as well as the concepts of psychological well-being and health (Argyle, 2003; Andreenkova, 2010; Kulikov, 2000; Karapetyan, 2014; Pahol, 2017; Ryff, Singer, 2008). For the study of psychological well-being, the questionnaire “Scales of psychological well-being” by K. Riff Lepeshinsky, (2007) and the questionnaire “Health, activity, mood” by Doskin, Lavrentyeva, Sharai, Miroshnikov, (1973) were used. For the study of professional self-realization, the “Multidimensional Questionnaire of Self-Realization of the Personality” by Kudinov (2012) was used. The results of the study on a sample of 219 teachers, followed by mathematical and statistical analysis, made it possible to establish statistically significant relationships between indicators of psychological well-being and self-realization components: creativity, optimism, achievement motivation, transformation attitudes and satisfaction with the quality of life. In general, a direct relationship was revealed between a high level of well-being and the success of teachers' self-realization in the professional field. At the same time, a correlation was found between a low level of psychological well-being and the characteristics of self-realization: external self-regulation, adaptation attitudes, inertia and conservatism. The empirical data obtained prove the assumptions about the dependence of the discussed phenomena and can become a prerequisite for further research in this area, and individual results of the article can serve as the basis for the development of psychological programs to support teachers at different stages of professionalization.

УЯВЛЕННЯ ПРО ПСИХОЛОГІЧНЕ БЛАГОПОЛУЧЧЯ У ТРЬОХ ХВИЛЯХ КОГНІТИВНО-ПОВЕДІНКОВОЇ ТЕРАПІЇ

This article analyzes the concepts of psychological well-being and the mechanisms of its achievement in three waves of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT): the behavioral therapy of the first wave, the classical cognitive therapy of A. Ellis and A. Beck of the second wave, and the contextual therapies of the third wave. The ideal of psychological well-being in classical behavioral therapy involves an individual's frustration tolerance, enabling a change in their response to uncomfortable stimuli. Primary methods to achieve this ideal include step-by-step desensitization and the development of alternative behaviors through operant conditioning. Classical cognitive therapy by A. Ellis and A. Beck operates with a more comprehensive model, considering personal factors influencing reactions to stimuli. This has led to the development of correction techniques for erroneous thinking strategies, viewed as distortions in objective information processing. Consequently, the ideal of psychological well-being is seen as a more realistic perception of reality, achieved through correcting cognitive constructs such as automatic thoughts and core beliefs aligning them with reality through testing, such as behavioral experiments. According to proponents of the second wave, individuals should adopt a scientist's mindset by formulating and testing hypotheses. In the third wave of CBT, the ideal of psychological well-being involves individuals adopting a detached observer position toward events in their inner world, including thoughts, emotions, and core beliefs. Additionally, great importance is placed on individuals pursuing their own values. The mechanism for achieving this ideal involves changing the context of distress-inducing thoughts without altering their content. Despite some contradictions between the views of the second and third waves of CBT, the techniques of these approaches are consistent and can be used sequentially. Corrections in thought processes, as facilitated by second-wave therapy, can change the status of thoughts from being perceived as objective truths, which can be further deepened through third-wave techniques, altering the status of thoughts from objects to contextual elements in an individual's life.

Willingness to Self-forgive as a Predictor of the Well-being of Young Students

The article considers an important and topical issue in the form of the willingness to self-forgive in young students. The concepts of psychological well-being, forgiveness, and self-forgiveness are considered. The peculiarities of the connection between psychological well-being and willingness to self-forgive in the case of young students are determined. Much attention is paid to the factors of psychological well-being. The study involved 228 people – young students, aged between 20 and 23 years, in the form of 109 men and 119 women. Empirical research was based on the following psychodiagnostic techniques: Flourishing Measure, Hardiness Test, Scale of Psychological Well-being, the Trait Forgivingness (dispositional) Scale, Mental Health Outcome Measures, Scale of Deep Readiness for Forgiveness, Depression and Anxiety (BSI – 12). The high level of willingness to self-forgive in young students is connected with high levels of hardiness and psychological well-being. The high level of willingness to self-forgive in young students is connected with low levels of anxiety and depression. It is indicated that the willingness to self-forgive is a predictor of psychological well-being in young students. The more university students are prone to willingness to self-forgive, the more they are satisfied with self-realization in specific living conditions and circumstances, with the achievement of meaningful goals, and with positive relationships with other people. The more young university students are ready for self-forgiveness, the more they are capable of reflection, the realization of their potential, the effective use of personal traits, self-acceptance, meaningful life, and being more satisfied with relationships with other people.

Psychological Well-Being Guru BK sebagai Professional Helper di Sekolah

This study aimed to obtain a comprehensive depiction regarding school counselors' psychological well-being as a professional helper. The result of this study could be used as the basis for future studies to promote school counselors' psychological well-being. This study found that most respondents had not understood the concept of psychological well-being. However, they reported the majority of psychological well-being dimensions. Most of the respondents were aware of the dimensions of positive relations with others and environmental mastery. Ninety-five school counselors in this study were aware that psychological well-being is pivotal as it supports their professional performance and personal happiness. Future studies are recommended to investigate school counselors' psychological well-being further using other methods, such as case study, RnD, or mixed-method. This kind of study may indirectly improve the school counselors' understanding and competence.

ОСОБЕННОСТИ ПСИХОЛОГИЧЕСКОГО БЛАГОПОЛУЧИЯ СТУДЕНТОВ С РАЗЛИЧНЫМ СОМАТИЧЕСКИМ ЗДОРОВЬЕМ ДО И ВО ВРЕМЯ ПАНДЕМИИ COVID-19

Statement of the problem. The article focuses on one of the priority tasks of the state – the preservation and strengthening of the health of the population. The purpose of the study was to identify the features of the psychological well-being in students with different somatic health in the pre-pandemic and pandemic period associated with COVID-19. The hypothesis of the study was based on the assumption that students of the second and third groups of dispensary observation with a low level of psychological well-being during the pandemic associated with COVID-19 will have lower psychological well-being than in the pre-pandemic period, and students of the first group of dispensary observation will have psychological well-being not changed. The methodological basis of the study was the concept of psychological well-being by С. Riff and approaches to understanding dispensary observation based on the legislative framework in the field of healthcare. Materials and methods. The presented results of an empirical study were obtained on a sample of medical university students. The study was carried out in 2 stages: stage 1 – in the pre-pandemic period, stage 2 – in the pandemic period. The study was conducted using a specially developed module for psychological diagnostics https://krasgmu.ru/index.php?page[common]=psy, which allows for data collection, automatic processing, and obtaining statistical data on a specific population of respondents. In an automated mode, the technique of “The scales of psychological well-being” by С. Riff was used. The study involved 311 students of KrasSMU at each stage of the study. Research results. No significant differences were found in the representatives of the first group of dispensary observation, which suggests a relationship between somatic health and the ability to maintain psychological well-being in difficult life situations (for example, during the Covid-19 pandemic). Noticeable differences were found in a number of parameters among representatives of the second and third groups of dispensary observation, indicating that for the respondents with somatic diseases it is more difficult to survive the pandemic period (confirmed by a decrease in the second stage of the number of respondents demonstrating a high level on the scale “Autonomy” and “Environmental Management” in both groups, as well as a decrease in the number of respondents in the third group of dispensary observation, belonging to the average level on the “Environment Management” scale and the average and high level on the “Goal in life” scale). The absence of significant differences on the scales “Positive Relations with Others”, “Personal Growth”, “Self-Acceptance” in all three groups was recorded, indicating stability of these indicators of psychological well-being during the pandemic period. Conclusion. It is concluded that it is the respondents with chronic somatic diseases who are more difficult to survive the pandemic period. The data obtained indicate the need to develop special programs for the psychological support of students with somatic diseases during the epidemiological regime.

Internal Structure Evaluation on the Indonesian Version of Psychological Well-Being Scales

The purpose of this research is to examine the internal structure of the Indonesian version of the Psychological Well-Being Scales (PWBS). This is a quantitative and cross-sectional research with the convenience sampling method used to obtain data from 1,337 students. The validity of the PWBS internal structure is evaluated using confirmatory factor analysis, exploratory structural equation modeling (ESEM), and composite reliability. The results showed that the Indonesian version of the 42-item PWBS and the 18-item PWBS do not have a satisfactory factor structure and internal consistency. Instead, it has few items that can accurately measure the concept of psychological well-being and are less able to represent the concept proposed by Ryff (1989). However, this research is not the only evidence that the Indonesian version of the PWBS cannot be used to measure psychological well-being.

The practice of psychological well-being education model for poor university students from the perspective of positive psychology.

Poor university students are a special group. Social development provides many positive factors for poor university students’ personality and psychological development, but negative factors are also accompanied by them, which affect the psychological health of poor university students. University students are in a period of rapid physical and mental development, and it is an important issue that colleges and universities need to solve psychological well-being education. We hope to find out the aspects that can be studied in the irregularity of various factors that affect college students’ mental health. BP neural network is a typical model of artificial neural network. Based on the BP algorithm and the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation of the psychological well-being prediction system for poor university students, this paper systematically summarizes the concept of psychological well-being, the factors that affect psychological well-being, and the related research done by predecessors on psychological well-being. Using the international psychological well-being scale SCL-90 to comprehensively consider the psychological well-being status of poor university students and select the optimized BP algorithm to establish a psychological well-being prediction model, and implement it and compare it with other models to reflect its superiority. Data were collected and analyzed by means of a questionnaire. The regression model was used to analyze the relationship between mindfulness, rumination and psychological well-being. The mediation index fitted by the model reached 0.9. The model can reflect the real situation of the data, that is, rumination plays a partial mediating role in the effect of mindfulness on psychological well-being. The introduction of this psychological prediction model into the psychological well-being education of poor university students not only helps to improve the educational concept and expand the educational approach, but also helps to achieve the goal of psychological well-being education for poor university students, thereby promoting the improvement of the psychological quality of poor university students.

Sense of Balance in Indian Conceptualisation of Psychological Well-being

The concept of psychological well-being (PWB) engages the attention of those who live in the Global North, as well as those in the Global South. Similar to the Western concept of PWB, its Indian conceptualisation too, has a long history dating back to at least 3,000 years. This article accentuates that, in India, a ‘sense of balance’ (sama in Sanskrit) is an overarching principle that guides ecological, social, and personal well-being. This sense of balance is discussed in the exposition of concepts, such as hedonia and eudaimonia, which are found in both the Western and Indian concept of PWB. Major differences include the collectivist nature of Indians, their emphasis of spirituality and their belief that suffering and happiness are two dimensions of a single reality. Through a comparative narrative method, it is evidenced that Indian constructs, namely, Sama, Dharma, Sattva, Rajas and Tamas resonate meaningfully with universal principles, such as ethical living, social commitment, and spiritual awareness. In short, Indian conceptualisation of PWB holds that it is holistic, integrated, and balanced. An extended prospect of this sense of balance is its appropriateness in enabling people to achieve ecological balance, irrespective of their cultural affiliations.
