Family functioning, family relationship problems, and psychological wellbeing among young adults

The study aims to examine the relationship between family functioning, family relationship problems, and psychological well-being among young adults in the southern region of India. The data was collected from a total 265 young adults aged 18 – 26 years old, through both online and offline means i.e. hybrid method was used. Using a quantitative non-experimental design, employing correlation analysis, data was analyzed. The measures that were used in the study were Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scale (FACES III), the Index of Family Relations (IFR), and Ryff’s Psychological Well-being Scale (PWB) – 42items. The finding of the study show that there was indeed a significant relationship between family cohesion, a subdomain in family functioning and the domains of psychological wellbeing. However, no significant relationship was observed between family adaptability, another subdomain in family functioning and the domains psychological well-being. Conversely, family relationship problems showed a significant negative correlation with various aspects of psychological well-being, indicating that higher levels of family conflict were associated with lower levels of psychological well-being. In conclusion, the findings underscore the importance of addressing family dynamics and conflict resolution strategies to promote the psychological well-being of young adults.

The Levels of Psychological Well-Being among Married Couples in Selected Parishes in the Catholic Archdiocese of Nairobi, Kenya

A stable marriage is crucial for establishment of a prosperous community, but this depends on psychological well-being of the couples. This study investigated the levels of psychological well-being among couples in selected parishes in the Catholic Archdiocese of Nairobi (CAN), Kenya. The study was guided by Adlerian Theory and employed concurrent convergent mixed methods research design. The target population was 19,828 Catholic faithful, who have exchanged their marital vows in CAN within the last 5 to 25 years. A sample of 784 married men and women were selected by multistage sampling and used as respondents. The psychological well-being questionnaire was used to collect data, which were analyzed descriptively using frequency counts and percentages. Findings revealed that psychological well-being of the married couples was in three levels thus low, moderate and high. It is recommended that policy should be made by the government of Kenya through the office of the Attorney general by formulating a legal framework to ensure all newly married couples are trained on various aspects of psychological well-being so as to ensure stable marriage.

EXPLORING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PSYCHOLOGICAL WELLBEING & LOCUS OF CONTROL IN YOUNG ADULTS IN KARACHI, PAKISTAN

Psychological wellbeing (PWB) is a person’s ideal disposition of mental and emotional functioning, marked by positive emotions, satisfaction, serenity, resilience & purpose. These aspects are often influenced by locus of control (LOC), which enhances self-awareness & awareness of intrinsic capabilities. As LOC is a trait, knowing its links with PWB will illustrate the contribution of more permanent aspects of the personality in PWB. Most studies have not examined these important variables together. This research aims to bridge this knowledge gap and uncover predictive relationship between these factors and hypothesized that LOC would be correlated with to PWB. To conduct a cross-sectional survey a sample of 400 young adult participants from University of Karachi was drawn. Correlation that links LOC & various facets of psychological wellbeing is insignificant, except for correlation of internal LOC & personal growth, where there is slight negative correlation, as higher scores of the measure of LOC meant higher degrees of internal locus of control & vice versa. This result shows that the more external locus of control the more personal growth. This study sheds light on interesting perspective about the impact of perceived internal LOC on specific aspects of psychological well-being. These findings open new avenues for further research in this field.

AFFECTIVE RESPONSES TO DAILY MEMORY LAPSES IMPACT PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING IN MIDUS

Abstract Daily experiences have broad and far-reaching impacts on physical and mental health. Past work has linked micro-level experiences (e.g., daily stress) to macro-level processes (e.g., anxiety and depression; Charles et al., 2013) with a goal of understanding how day-to-day experiences influence development of physiological and psychological pathology. One mechanistic pathway for the link between daily experiences and longer-term outcomes are affective responses. This study extends previous work by examining mediation effects of positive and negative affect to a common daily experience: daily memory lapses on psychological well-being in a national sample of participants (N = 2,018; 56.6% Women, Mage = 56.92, SD = 13.37) from the MIDUS Refresher (2011-2014) and the MIDUS-3 (2013-2019). Each day participants reported on positive and negative affect and memory lapses. At the start of each wave, a comprehensive well-being assessment included different facets of psychological well-being (e.g., autonomy, environmental mastery). Daily memory lapses were significantly associated with increased negative affect and decreased positive affect on that same day. As expected, positive affect was associated with greater psychological well-being, while negative affect was associated with an inverse relationship. Importantly, significant indirect (mediation) effects were obtained for all models. This suggests that daily memory lapses have an impact on psychological well-being through their impacts on daily affect. This work provides increased evidence for the importance of emotional responses to daily stressors (such as memory lapses) being a determinate of distal health-related outcomes.

Functions of music, focused on the context of music listening, and psychological well-being in late adolescence regarding gender differences.

Late adolescences, as a developmentally challenging transitional period between childhood and adulthood, provides a number of pressures that impact well-being of youth. Among approaches for facilitating well-being, music is reported to be one of the most effective ones, which was especially proven during Covid-19 pandemic. Given the significance of music and music listening in late adolescence, our study sought to examine the relationship between psychological well-being and music listening among university students (N = 603; Nfemale = 356, Nmale = 247) with a focus on the social, intrapersonal, and sociocultural context of music listening. The RESPECT music scale, the SPWB, and the PANAS were used to measure positive and negative affect as well as the six components of psychological well-being. The findings revealed that, while there were no gender differences in the sociocultural setting, females reported to listen to music more frequently than males in intrapersonal and social contexts. In two areas, female students rated their psychological well-being higher than male students: personal growth and positive relationships with others. They also reported experiencing positive and negative affect more frequently than men. Regression analyses revealed that the functions of music explained only a small amount of the variance in psychological well-being. Specifically, music listening in a social and sociocultural context significantly explained two aspects of psychological well-being: personal growth and positive relations with others. The intrapersonal context of music listening predicted a positive affect, while the social context predicted a negative affect. Our study highlights several implications of music listening in youth regarding gender either in everyday activities or in educational and clinical setting.

“[He] can be supportive, but at times I feel he is ashamed of me”: Understanding the relationship between parental support and quality of life amongst trans and gender diverse youth in the UK

Background Trans and gender diverse (TGD) youth often report poor relations with their parents and perceive these to be core to the mental health difficulties they experience. One aspect of psychological wellbeing that has not been well explored in relation to parental support is Quality of Life (QoL). Aim To test the association between perceived parental support and QoL and, understand from the young person’s perspective how parental support contributes to QoL. Method To address these aims a multi-methods design was used and 140 TGD youth aged 11–19 years old from the UK took part in an online survey in 2020. Validated measures of parental support and QoL were used in conjunction with open-ended survey questions about experiences of parental support. Findings As expected, we found a significant and positive association between parental support and QoL. Two themes were found in the qualitative data: (1) Parental support is not black or white, (2) Knowledge is a catalyst for affirmative parental support. Conclusions Our findings demonstrate the positive implications of affirmative family support on QoL but at the same time highlight how parental relations can be complex and frequently conditional. Organizations supporting young TGD people (e.g. those working in education, healthcare) should prepare young people for the complexity of family relationships. Knowledge and awareness were felt to be an important tool in increasing the likelihood of parental support, but affirmative and evidence-based support needs to be made more readily available.

A Cross-cultural Comparison of Perception of Professional Well-being by Iranian and Ukrainian Academic Staff

The scientific literature on various aspects of psychological well-being in the organizational and professional space indicates the lack of a sufficient theoretical base and a unified understanding of professional well-being, as well as the need to clarify the content of this concept and the mechanisms of its formation. This study aims to theoretically and empirically support the model of needs and values as moderators of professional well-being based on a comparative analysis of perceptions of the professional well-being of academic staff in Ukraine and Iran. In accordance with the purpose of this study, a cross-cultural comparison of perceptions of the professional well-being of Ukrainian and Iranian higher school teachers was conducted. Ninty people responded to the survey. Respondents were asked open-ended questions about their perception of professional well-being, followed by content analysis of the received answers and intergroup comparison of the results. Based on the conducted analysis, the assumption of statistically significant differences in perceptions of professional well-being in groups of respondents with different cultural affiliations, mediated by their value orientations, was confirmed.

PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING AND POSTGRADUATE STUDENTS: RECOMMENDATIONS FOR HIGHER EDUCATION IN MALAYSIA

In recent years, Malaysia has seen a significant increase in enrolment in postgraduate programs as part of the government's efforts to advance into a developed nation status by developing a skilled talent pool of scientists and researchers. However, despite the increasing trend of mental health issues among youths in Malaysia, the psychological well-being of postgraduate students has received limited attention in research and literature. This review paper provides a contemporary overview of the state of mental health in Malaysia to contextualise the psychological challenges faced by students in Malaysian universities. The article also highlights the lack of research on the psychological well-being of postgraduate students in Malaysia, which has led to a limited understanding of how this population is affected by their well-being. The article also discusses evidence from previous studies to illustrate how different aspects of psychological well-being are essential for not only academic success but also physical and mental health for postgraduate students. The article argues that more research involving a wider range of methods is necessary to gain a deeper understanding of the mechanisms underlying the psychological well-being of the wider postgraduate student population in Malaysia. Additionally, the paper discusses several implications for various stakeholders in higher education institutions to take appropriate action in promoting a greater sense of psychological well-being among postgraduate students on campus.

Introduction to Special Issue: Interventions to Modify Psychological Well-Being and Population Health.

Psychological ill-being is on the rise, with 1 in 5 Americans suffering from a mental disorder in any given year. Additional evidence demonstrates that psychological well-being has also decreased over time. These trends are particularly worrisome given the substantial and growing body of evidence demonstrating that psychological ill-being (e.g., depression, anxiety, anger) is associated with an elevated risk of developing chronic diseases and premature mortality, while aspects of psychological well-being (e.g., positive affect, sense of purpose and meaning, life satisfaction) are independently associated with improved physical health outcomes. An underexplored but promising approach to enhancing both psychological and physical health is through developing a set of tools that specifically target psychological well-being (often referred to as positive psychological interventions (PPIs) although many interventions developed outside the field of positive psychology also achieve these goals). Such interventions hold promise as a strategy for improving population health. However, critical knowledge gaps hold us back, and we have not yet developed a robust set of intervention strategies that can improve psychological well-being in meaningful, durable, and scalable ways that would also have downstream effects on physical health. The goal of this special issue is to help address these knowledge gaps by bringing together current conceptual frameworks, critical examination of key constructs, and novel empirical evidence needed to identify and examine interventions that can modify psychological well-being, particularly those that have the potential to be scaled at the population level and with durable effects.

STUDI DESKRIPTIF KOMPARASI TENTANG PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING PADA GENERASI SANDWICH DI KECAMATAN TOMOHON TENGAH KOTA TOMOHON

This study aims to describe and compare the level of psychological well-being of the sandwich generation in the Tomohon Tengah sub-district, Tomohon City based on the categories in this study. The type of research used is descriptive quantitative research with a sample of 70 people of the sandwich generation, ages 21 to 60. The measuring instrument in this study uses Psychological Well-Being Scales (PWBS) developed by Ryff (1989) with 44 valid items and has a Cronbach Alpha reliability index of 0.885. The preparation of the item is based on aspects of psychological well-being, namely self-acceptance, positive relationships with others, environmental mastery, autonomy (independence), life goals and personal growth. The results of this study indicate that the level of psychological well-being in the sandwich generation is in the average category, there is no sandwich generation in the high or low category. Then when compared based on the criteria, the results show that there is no difference, so there is no striking level of psychological well-being because everything is equal.

The Relationship Between Mindfulness and Psychological Well-Being

Psychological well-being is a crucial ingredient for good life navigation (Ryff et al., 2003). Its significance to health and well-being is well-established. Mindfulness is one of the techniques that has been related with improved psychological health. Unstudied, however, is which aspect of mindfulness is related to psychological wellness. The purpose of this research was to examine the relationship between psychological well-being and mindfulness. There are 127 participants (Mage = 22.87, SD = 4.55) voluntary participated in this study and completed a series of self-reported questionnaires to assess six dimensions of psychological well-being (Ryff's Scales of Psychological Well-Being, PWB), and five aspect mindfulness (Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire, M). The outcomes. There are no significant relationships between mindfulness and psychological well-being aspects, as shown by this study. The consequences and specifics of the connections are examined. Future research should take into account all psychological wellness characteristics and the five facets of mindfulness in order to design therapies that increase psychological wellbeing.

Why Definitional Clarity Matters: Implications for the Operationalization of Emotional Well-Being.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is increasingly prioritizing research on health-promoting processes. Park et al. (this issue) respond to a call made by NIH to advance the study of emotional well-being (EWB) and to increase understanding of the fundamental constituents of EWB across the lifespan and among diverse subgroups. They propose a definition of EWB that provides an organizing framework for research on 'psychological aspects of well-being' and health. We commend this important first step and urge consideration of three important issues related to operationalization - the process by which an abstract concept is transformed into variables that can be measured - in future research on EWB. We expect that an iterative process of construct refinement and empirical validation will advance the study of EWB, producing scientific discoveries that can be leveraged to enhance health across the lifespan.

Work engagement and job satisfaction in the medical sector

Work engagement and job satisfaction are among the aspects of psychological well-being. This study is an empirical investigation regarding the levels of work engagement and job satisfaction among doctors who work in Greek public hospitals. Moreover, the purpose of the paper is to examine the relationship between these two concepts. Results revealed that the concepts of work engagement and job satisfaction are strongly positively correlated, while work engagement appears to be a very important predictor of intrinsic satisfaction but it can also predict extrinsic satisfaction to some extent.

Religiosity of Romanian Emerging Adults: Psychological and Demographical Correlates

"Studies examining religiosity/spirituality (R/S), gender, parental education level and psychological well-being report divergent findings, most of them being on North American populations. This research aimed to explore the relationship between R/S and psychological well-being of Romanian emerging adults. The relationship between R/S and demographical variables such as gender and parents’ educational level was investigated. We explored these relationships in a sample of Romanian emerging adults, (N=468 female, 54.2%; Mage=24; Sd=8.68), 57.9% from theological faculties of various denominations and 42,1 % non-theological. Our findings show that R/S is higher as parents’ educational level is lower, with male emerging adults being more religious than female ones and theology students being more religious than non-theology ones. Moreover, the results revealed a significant relationship between R/S and some facets of psychological well-being. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed, with emphasis on the particularities relevant for the Romanian sociocultural context."

Prospective associations between coffee consumption and psychological well-being.

Prior work indicates a robust relationship between coffee consumption and lower depression risk, yet no research has examined links with psychological well-being (e.g., happiness, optimism). This study tested whether coffee intake is prospectively associated with greater psychological well-being over time. Secondarily, associations in the reverse direction were also examined to determine whether initial levels of psychological well-being were related to subsequent coffee consumption. Among women in the Nurses' Health Study, coffee consumption was examined in 1990 and 2002 in relation to sustained levels of happiness reported across multiple assessments from 1992-2000 (N = 44,449) and sustained levels of optimism assessed from 2004-2012 (N = 36,729). Associations were tested using generalized estimating equations with a Poisson distribution adjusted for various relevant covariates. Bidirectional relationships were evaluated in secondary analyses of baseline happiness (1992) and optimism (2004) with sustained moderate coffee consumption across multiple assessments through 2010. Compared to minimal coffee consumption levels (<1 cup/day), moderate consumption (1-3 cups/day) was unrelated to happiness, whereas heavy consumption (≥4 cups/day) was associated with a 3% lower likelihood of sustained happiness (relative risk, RR = 0.97, 95% CI = 0.95-0.99). Only moderate coffee consumption was weakly associated with a greater likelihood of sustained optimism (RR1-3cups/day = 1.03, 95% CI = 1.00-1.06). Secondary analyses showed high levels of optimism but not happiness levels were modestly associated with increased likelihood of sustained moderate coffee intake (RRoptimism = 1.06, 95% CI = 1.02-1.10; RRhappiness = 1.01, 95% CI = 0.99-1.04). Associations between psychological well-being and coffee consumption over up to two decades were largely null or weak. Although coffee consumption may protect individuals against depression over time, it may have limited impact on facets of psychological well-being.

Seroprevalence of COVID-19 and Psychological Distress among Front Liners at the Universiti Malaysia Sabah Campus during the Third Wave of COVID-19.

In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic struck the globe and disrupted various aspects of psychological wellbeing, more so in frontline workers. Research on assessing the seroprevalence of COVID-19 has been scarce; in addition, there are limited studies assessing the association between the seroprevalence of COVID-19 and psychological distress. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the seroprevalence of COVID-19 and the prevalence of psychological distress and to determine whether sociodemographic variables, occupational information variables, coping styles, and psychological processes might contribute to the development of psychological distress. A cross-sectional study involving 168 Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) front liners was carried out to assess these issues. The Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21) was employed to assess psychological distress, together with the COVID-19 Rapid Test Kit Antibody (RTK Ab) and a series of questionnaires, including a sociodemographic and occupational information questionnaire, the Balanced Index of Psychological Mindedness (BIPM) questionnaire, the Mindfulness Attention and Awareness Scale (MAAS), the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire (AAQ-II), and the Brief COPE questionnaire. The results demonstrated a seroprevalence of COVID-19 at 8.3% (95% CI = 5.0–14.0). Non-healthcare workers (HCWs) had a higher COVID-19 prevalence. Meanwhile, the prevalence of depression, anxiety, and stress among front liners was low (3.0%, 3.6%, and 1.2%, respectively). Younger people (aged 30 years old or less) and HCWs had a higher prevalence of psychological distress; being a HCW was significantly associated with a higher level of anxiety. Dysfunctional coping and psychological inflexibility were consistently found to be predictors for higher levels of the three psychological distress variables. This study suggested some alternatives that could be explored by mental health providers to address mental health issues among front liners at universities.
