The double-edged sword of becoming a caregiver: dynamic impact on four dimensions of well-being in Norway

BackgroundBecoming a caregiver can be a transformative journey with profound, multifaceted implications for well-being. However, existing research predominantly emphasizes the negative aspects of caregiving, paying less attention to the positive sides. This study aims to explore the impact of transitioning into a caregiving role on various well-being indicators, such as negative hedonic, positive hedonic, eudaimonic, and social well-being.MethodsWe use Norwegian panel data (2019–2021) and employ a combination of nearest-neighbour matching and a difference-in-differences approach to analyse well-being trajectories among new caregivers (n = 304) and non-caregivers (n = 7822). We assess ten items capturing the dimensions of negative hedonic (anxiousness, sadness, and worriedness), positive hedonic (happiness and life satisfaction), eudaimonic (contributing to others’ happiness, engagement, and meaning), and social (strong social relations and loneliness) well-being.ResultsOur results show a general increase in negative hedonic well-being and a decline in positive hedonic well-being for new caregivers. These impacts are larger for caregivers providing daily care, compared to those providing weekly and monthly care, and for those providing care inside rather than outside their own household. We observe only minor differences regarding gender and age. Interestingly, we also notice neutral or beneficial changes for eudaimonic aspects of well-being; of note, caregivers generally experience an increased sense of contributing to others’ happiness.ConclusionOur study reveals that adopting a caregiving role often leads to significant psychosocial challenges, especially in intensive caregiving situations. However, it also uncovers potential positive influences on eudaimonic aspects of well-being. Future research should explore underlying explanatory mechanisms, to inform strategies that enhance caregivers’ well-being.

Positive Psychology and Mental Health: Solving Problems of Positive Psychology from A New Perspective

Positive psychology tries to help people find happiness, hope, and life satisfaction within people’s lives. However, the approach of positive psychology might be inadequate. To reach all the positive sides, there need to be more negative sides to work with positive psychology because people may not have an accurate understanding of many mental disorders like obsessive-compulsive disorders or personality disorders. Telling them how problematic these mental disorders are might seem negative, but it will help people to have a better understanding of their own mental health. Forming the correct view of mental disorders will reduce stigma and help people with mental disorders reach out for help. Another problem with positive psychology is that many services related to this approach are driven by money, and the intentions might not be helpful for people who want to improve themselves. Possible causes of these problems might be related to the heavy money-related ideas led by Seligman, who is the most famous scientist in the area of positive psychology. Possible solutions might be related more to negative aspects of life in general because learning how to stay peaceful and happy during negative situations might be the only way to define true happiness. Based on the second wave of positive psychology, more attention is still needed to solve these problems by noticing how useful negative aspects of life are.

Voices of the career delayed: Korean millennial women's underemployed experience

South Korean Millennials have exceptional educational, cultural, and professional backgrounds compared to other generations, but they are overqualified and underemployed in the country's competitive job market. Moreover, Korean Millennial women face more complex forms of discrimination than Korean men. Thus far, most empirical studies have illuminated the problem of unemployment rather than that of underemployment, and studies of women in underemployment are even rarer still. This study employed a feminist methodological approach, conducting qualitative interviews in order to reveal well-educated Korean Millennial women's job experiences and how living in a male-dominated society and patriarchal system affects them. This study used thematic analysis to examine ten underemployed Korean Millennial women's job experiences. Through feminist qualitative interviews, the ten women not only revealed their experiences of being subjugated as women employees at work, they also highlighted both the negative and positive sides of being underemployed.

Among the vegetable oils produced for edible oil on a global scale, the first place is soybean, the second place is sunflower, and then peanut, cotton, rapeseed, olive, sesame, corn and safflower oils. Most essential oils are found in free form in plants. Their amount in different types of plants varies greatly, from 0.001% to 22%. There may be a type of plant in which the amount and composition of the essential oil is negligible. This may mainly depend on the cultivated region, the age of the plant, the phase of development and other conditions. It has been determined that plants accumulate more essential oil in dry and hot weather than in cold and humid conditions. The amount of essential oil in the plant is greater during the flowering and ripening period. A group of plants cultivated to produce essential oil are called essential oil plants. They contain volatile aromatic substances with different chemical composition. The amount of these oils in the seeds, flowers, leaves, branches and other organs of the plant varies depending on cultivation technology and soil-climate conditions. Essential oil plants include coriander, mint, cumin, basil, cloves, myrtle, etc. belong to plants. Essential oils are widely used in the food, medicine and perfume-cosmetics industry.

In the process, solar energy is converted into useful energy and replaced by other forms of energy, such as biomass, wind or hydropower, and "drives" the weather on Earth. Most of the solar radiation is absorbed by the oceans and seas, as a result of which their water heats up, evaporates and falls to the Earth in the form of rain, "feeding" hydroelectric power plants. Solar energy affects to the plants mainle the essentional oil plants, either. Most plants admit solar energy during the drying or feeding process. Thus, we considered both the essential oil plants, especially the flax plant, and learned the advantages and disadvantages of alternative energy. We came to the conclusion that alternative energy has a role in the process of cultivation and protection of essential oil plants. Approaches and results can be different in the analysis of positive and negative sides in the fast developing era. Keywords: essential oil, plants, solar energy, ecology, industry, flax, linseed

Psichologinė religinių jausmų svarba Williamo Jameso požiūriu

The article analyzes the theme of the psychology of religion by the American psychologist William James. It is treated in the context of the works of other pioneers of psychological science at that time. James saw positive sides in religiosity/faith: it is a stimulating factor in life, an integrating aspect of human maturation and even a fundamental factor in human spiritual hygiene. Without religion, it is difficult to achieve the meaning of life, and empirical science, in his opinion, was increasingly eroding the foundations of religion. Therefore, in search of a way out, he tried to create the so-called optimistic philosophy. James explained that a psychologist can be just as objectively interested in religious phenomena as in other everyday psychological matters. Psychology can study theological phenomena, but there is one limitation – psychological research is limited to the area of human feelings and will, which means that it does not study doctrinal questions of the Church institution. The sanctity provided by faith helps a person to gain psychological balance, opens new horizons of life, broadens horizons and gives hope for eternity.

The Arctic zone of the Russian Federation is one of the geostrategic territories. Access to education is one of the priority areas of the state social policy, which is determined by the Strategy for the development of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation and national security for the period up to 2035. The peculiarity of the Arctic territories is the dispersed nature of population settlement and the “focal” nature of territorial development, which is caused by the uneven distribution of industrial and social infrastructure, including educational infrastructure. The Arctic zone of the Russian Federation is inhabited by representatives of small indigenous minorities of the North. The problem of accessibility of education of small indigenous minorities was inherent in different periods of time in pre-revolutionary Russia and the Soviet state.
