The applicability of social cognitive career theory in predicting life satisfaction of university students: A meta-analytic path analysis

Derived from the social cognitive career theory (SCCT), the present study developed a model for the empirical examination of factors affecting the life satisfaction of university students. A random-effects meta-analysis of zero-order correlations observed the results of 16 studies (20 samples, n = 7,967), and associations among the SCCT variables were examined by using a meta-analytic structural equation modeling (MASEM) according to a pooled correlation matrix. An alternative model was offered and then assessed. The findings showed a satisfactory fit of the new model as compared to the original SCCT. The results demonstrated support for the alternative model of SCCT in predicting life satisfaction. The present study suggested that researchers should embrace this alternative model when synthesizing SCCT factors. Limitations and avenues for future research were put forward for further consideration.

An exploration of the associations among cognitive flexibility, attachment styles and life satisfaction

This research aimed to investigate the correlation between life satisfaction of university students in the young adult period with cognitive flexibility and attachment styles. The research group comprised 633 university students. The results of data analysis found a positive significant correlation between life satisfaction of students and cognitive flexibility (r= .25, p < .01; 95% CI [0.17, 0.33]) and secure attachment style (r = .17, p < .01; 95% CI [0.08, 0.25]), while there was a negative significant correlation between life satisfaction and the dismissive attachment style (r = −.12, p< .01; 95% CI [−0.21, −0.04]). Among the results obtained in the study, the dependent variable of life satisfaction did not differ according to the sex (t(628) = 1.49, p > .05) and grade variables (F(5, 617) = 1.54, p > 0.05).

Optimism, Social Intelligence and Positive Affect as Predictors of University Students’ Life Satisfaction

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the relationship between optimism, social intelligence, and positive affect with students’ life satisfaction. The sample included 332 students of humanities sciences (213 females and 119 males) from Payame Noor University–Tabriz branch, who were randomly selected using stratified and multiple-stage cluster sampling. Extended Life Orientation questionnaire, Tromso Social Intelligence questionnaire, Positive affect and life satisfaction scales were used as data collection instruments and the data were analysed by Pearson’s correlation and hierarchical multiple regression analysis. The results of Pearson’s correlation analysis indicated a positive and meaningful correlation between social information processing, social skills, optimism, positive affect, and life satisfaction. Furthermore, the results of hierarchical multiple regression analysis also indicated the direct effect of social information processing and social skills on life satisfaction that later disappeared when optimism and positive affect were introduced in the second step. In the final model, only measures of optimism and positive affect were statistically meaningful. Therefore, social intelligence and positive affect promote (past tense?) life satisfaction in university students.

Life Satisfaction of University Students in Relation to Family and Food in a Developing Country.

Life satisfaction and satisfaction with food-related life (SWFoL) are associated with healthy eating habits, family interaction around eating and family support. The present study evaluates the relationship between SWFoL and satisfaction with family life (SWFaL), and their relationship with life satisfaction in university students. We identify the relationship of two different types of family support and student SWFaL and explore a moderator effect of gender. A questionnaire was applied to a non-probabilistic sample of 370 students of both genders (mean age 21 years) in Chile, including Satisfaction with Life Scale, SWFoL scale, SWFaL scale, and the Family Resources Scale. Using structural equation modeling, we found that students’ life satisfaction was related to SWFaL and food-related life. A high positive relationship was identified between intangible family support and students’ SWFaL, which would have a mediating role between intangible support and life satisfaction. Using multi-group analysis, a moderator effect of gender was not found. These findings suggest that improving SWFoL, SWFaL and intangible family support is important for both female and male students.

Future Orientation as a Mediator Between Career Adaptability and Life Satisfaction in University Students

Studies have emphasized that career adaptability and future orientation are important factors in one’s ability to deal with difficulties and achieve life satisfaction. This study examines the relationships among future orientation, career adaptability resources, and life satisfaction. Survey data from 373 Italian and Spanish university students were analyzed using structural equation modeling. The results indicated that future orientation fully mediated the relationship between career adaptability and life satisfaction in the Italian and the Spanish students. These findings suggest that university students who are confident in their career adaptability are satisfied with life because they are confident about their future prospects. The implications of these observed relationships for counseling interventions and further research are discussed.

Negative life events and life satisfaction in university students: Belief in a just world as a mediator and moderator.

A cross-sectional study was conducted to explore the role of belief in a just world between negative life events and life satisfaction. The results revealed that two dimensions of belief in a just world played partial mediating roles between negative life events and life satisfaction. Moreover, belief in a just world was also a moderator between negative life events and life satisfaction that mitigates the adverse effects of negative life events. In conclusion, these results suggest that belief in a just world could be both a mediator and a moderator between negative life events and life satisfaction.
