Effects of Relationship-Centered Obsessive Compulsive Symptoms and Difficulty in Emotion Regulation on Psychological Well-Being in Young Adults

This study aims to examine the relationships between emotion regulation difficulties, relationship-centered obsessive-compulsive symptoms, and psychological well-being. The study's second objective is to investigate the mediating role of emotion regulation difficulties in the relationship between relationship-centered obsessive-compulsive symptoms and psychological well-being. The participants comprised 191 individuals (152 females and 39 males) aged 18 to 25 (M=21.96, SD=1.78) who lived in Turkey and had been in a romantic relationship for at least one month between 2021 and 2022. In the study, participants were administered a Personal Information Form, the Short Form of the Emotion Regulation Difficulties Scale, the Relationship Obsessive Compulsive Inventory, and the Multidimensional Psychological Well-Being Scale. The results indicate a significant positive relationship between relationship-centered obsessive-compulsive symptoms and emotion regulation difficulties. Moreover, a significant negative relationship was found between emotion regulation difficulties and relationship-centered obsessive-compulsive symptoms and psychological well-being. Additionally, the variables were found to significantly predict psychological well-being in a negative direction, explaining 22% of the variance. According to the mediation analysis, emotion regulation difficulties play a partial mediating role in the relationship between relationship-centered obsessive-compulsive symptoms and psychological well-being. This study is expected to contribute to understanding the etiology and treatment of romantic relationship-centered obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Исследование связи личностного ресурса и психологического благополучия студентов на начальном этапе обучения в вузе

<p>The study on the psychological well-being of students is becoming one of the key priorities in educational institutions, especially during changes in society. The purpose of the study is to investigate the relationship between personal and family resources and the psychological well-being and life satisfaction of student youth. The following methods were used in the study: Ryff Scales of Psychological Well-Being, Life Satisfaction Scale, Well-Being Index, Tolerance-intolerance of Ambiguity Questionnaire, Hardiness Survey, General Self-Efficacy Questionnaire, Self-Control Scale, Life Meaning Orientations Test, Author’s questionnaire with 15 questions and a closed list of possible answers. 41 students aged 18 to 21 years took part in measurements using these methods. The study was carried out in two stages. At the first stage, possible correlations between psychological well-being and indicators of personal and family resources were assessed for the entire group of respondents. At the second stage, in order to differentiate students by level of psychological well-being, two groups were identified: students with a high level of psychological well-being and students with a low level of psychological well-being. Mathematical and statistical analysis was carried out using descriptive statistics, the Mann-Whitney U test, Spearman correlation analysis, ranking procedures, and the method of constructing regularized networks of partial correlations. The study found that students with high levels of life satisfaction and psychological well-being exhibited more pronounced personal resources, such as self-efficacy, vitality, control and a positive attitude towards others and themselves. They also have clear goals in life and are quite satisfied with their implementation. A connection has been established between students' well-being and tolerance for uncertainty. The higher the level of psychological well-being, the more students are inclined to accept uncertainty, change and strive to solve complex problems. The results of the study emphasize the importance of personal and family resources, as well as students' positive attitudes towards themselves and others in achieving a high level of psychological well-being. They also indicate the importance for psychological well-being of the factor of tolerance to uncertainty associated with good health and the desire to develop and solve difficult life problems. The preservation of the psychological well-being of young people in educational settings is facilitated not only by the increase in personal resources, but also by the functional role of the teacher, thoughtful, well-organized design of the educational environment.</p>

Psychological Wellbeing of Parents Who Have Children with Cancer at Ambu Cancer Fighter House Foundation

Cancer is a chronic disease that requires intensive treatment. While undergoing treatment, parents of children with cancer are faced with various problems that interfere with their mental health, which can delay the child's treatment process. The aim of this research is to find out the psychological well-being of parents who have children with cancer at the Ambu Cancer Fighters Home Foundation. This research used quantitative descriptions, involving 40 parents who had children with cancer at the Ambu Cancer Fighters Home Foundation. The number of samples taken in this research was 37. The research sampling technique was accidental sampling. The Ryff psychological well-being scale questionnaire was used as an instrument. The data analysis used was univariate. More than half of the respondents had a high level of mental well-being (59.5%), and less than half of the respondents had a low level of mental well-being (40.5%). High levels of psychological well-being indicate that parents are able to face various challenges in caring for their children. Efforts are needed to improve the psychological well-being of parents so they can provide maximum care to their children.

Psychological Characteristics of Students in Conditions of Educational Migration: Resilience and Psychological Well-being

Introduction. Recently, interest in the problem of educational migration has been steadily growing. The most active and dynamically developing group of modern youth is considered to be the category of educational migrants - young people moving to other regions and countries to obtain higher education. The study involved 382 people aged 18-22 years old. In the course of the study of resilience and psychological well-being, the features of personal resources of different groups of educational migrants were identified, the features of young people's perception of difficult life situations were described, and information was obtained on the general satisfaction and dissatisfaction of respondents with the period under evaluation, as well as data on the prevalence of various situations among educational migrants.Purpose. To investigate the psychological characteristics of students in the conditions of educational migration.Materials and Methods. The following methods were chosen as the main tools of the study: Salvatore Muddy's "Hardiness" test (in the original - "Hardiness Survey", 1997) adapted by D. A. Leontiev and E. I. Rasskazova (2006); the "Psychological Well-Being Scale" questionnaire by C. A. Leontiev and E. I. I. Rasskazova (2006); Questionnaire "Psychological Well-Being Scale" by C. Ryff (in the original - "Ryff Psychological Well-Being Scale"). Ryff (in the original - "The scales of psychological well-being", 1998) adapted by N. N. Lepeshinsky (2007).Results. The study obtained data on the prevalence of various difficult life situations in the samples of students with different migration experiences. They show that the greatest significance and subjective complexity for them were difficulties with studies and experiences related to fulfilment and well-being. Students who travelled to another country to study are much more inclined to exercise control over their life events and get involved in them, are ready to take risks and to act in situations of uncertainty.Discussion. Significant differences in the interrelationships of personal resources in groups of young people overcoming difficult life situations with different degrees of success have been revealed.

The role of coping strategies in the relationship between attachment style and psychological well-being in mothers of children with autism

This study aims to evaluate the relationship between attachment style and psychological well-being in mothers of children with autism, as well as the mediating role of maternal coping in this relationship. The pragmatic aim of the research was to provide theoretical and practical information regarding the attachment style, coping, and well-being of families who have children with autism especially mothers, as they are most often involved in the care and upbringing of these children. The present study is a correlational, cross-sectional study conducted on a sample of 113 mothers of autistic children aged between 22 and 51 years, M = 39.78, SD = 4.89. The children’s ages ranged between three and 14 years, M = 10.61, SD = 2.65. A number of 66 children were boys (58%) and 47 were girls (42%). The instruments used were the Psychological Well-being Scale (PWBS), Adult Attachment Scale (AAS), Brief COPE. The multiple linear regression showed that only the secure attachment of mothers is a significant predictor of well-being. Mediation analyses showed that neither adaptive nor maladaptive coping mediates the relationship between attachment style and well-being. In conclusion, we discussed the limitations and future research direction and also the importance of preserving higher well-being in mothers of children with autism.

DO INTERNALIZED AGE STEREOTYPES MEDIATE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN VOLUNTEERING AND PURPOSE IN LIFE FOR ADULTS 50+?

Abstract The productive aging literature suggests that volunteering plays a crucial role in enhancing psychosocial well-being among older adults. A growing body of research based in stereotype embodiment theory also demonstrates significant negative health impacts of internalized age stereotypes. Yet, limited research explores which social engagement activities may both reduce internalized ageism and enhance psychosocial health as people age. This cross-sectional study investigated whether internalized age stereotypes mediate the relationship between volunteering and a sense of purpose in life for adults 50+. A convenience sample of volunteers (n = 154) 50+ years of age living in the U.S. Mountain West completed a 15-minute, online survey. The independent variable was number of volunteer hours per week (mean = 6.39, SD = 5.47). The dependent variable was purpose in life measured by six items from the positively worded, five-point purpose in life subscale of the Ryff psychological well-being scale (α = .75; mean = 3.93, SD = 0.61). Drawing from the self-stereotypes of aging scale, the indirect effects of five internalized positive (e.g., “wise” and “capable”) and five negative (e.g., “grumpy” and “helpless”) age stereotypes were tested. Results indicate that increased internalized positive, not negative, age stereotypes partially mediated the relationship between volunteer hours and purpose in life while holding constant age, gender, race, functional limitation, education, employment, self-rated health, and previous volunteer experience. The findings suggest that internalizing positive age stereotypes may function as a form of esteem and contribute to an enhanced sense of purpose in later life.

The Impact of Religiosity and Social Support on Psychological Well-Being among Tahfidz Students

High school students who memorize Al-Qur'an face challenges maintaining their psychological well-being while memorizing Al-Qur'an and attending school activities. This study aims to determine the relationship between religiosity and social support with psychological well-being in high school students who memorize the Qur'an. The research subjects were 103 students (mean age 16.41) who were in the process of memorizing 30 chapters of the Qur’an at SMA IT Abu Bakar and SMA IT Baitussalam Yogyakarta. The sampling technique used was convenience sampling. Data collection was carried out using three scales: psychological well-being scale (α=0.904), religiosity scale (α=0.892), and social support scale (α=0.092), all of which were modified. The multiple regression data analysis revealed a significant relationship between religiosity and social support with the psychological well-being of high school students who memorize the Qur'an. The simultaneous effective contribution of two independent variables to psychological well-being is 52.6%. The partial contribution of religiosity is 26.9%, and the partial contribution of social support is 25.7%. These results can be a baseline for schools to develop support for memorizing the Qur'an in terms of facilities, training, and mentoring to increase students' religiosity and psychological well-being.

Exploring the interconnection between adverse childhood experiences and psychological well-being of emerging adults in a rural community in Lagos, Nigeria

There has been an increase in the study of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and their related outcomes in recent years. The current study explored the interconnections between ACEs and psychological wellbeing among emerging adults in a rural community in Lagos. The specific objectives were to establish the correlations between all the dimensions of ACEs and psychological wellbeing and check the predictive role of all the sub-conventional ACEs on psychological wellbeing. Three hundred seventy-eight high and tertiary school emerging adults were selected through a non-probabilistic sampling method. The ten conventional ACEs and Ryff's Psychological wellbeing scales were used to assess the respondents. Zero-order correlation and multiple regression were used to test the hypothesis. The results revealed that adverse childhood experience was significantly related to psychological wellbeing, which means that the higher the number of ACEs, the lower an individual's psychological wellbeing. Also, all the dimensions of ACEs significantly predict psychological wellbeing except verbal abuse (p =.160) and physical abuse (p =.515). ACEs were prevalent among emerging adults in rural communities and had deleterious effects on their psychological wellbeing. More work is needed in advocacies because several people do not know that physical and verbal abuse can affect the psychological wellbeing of emerging adults. Therefore, there is a need to develop various culturally appropriate assessment practices, interventions, and policy responses to the menace.

Ценностные ориентации в психологическом благополучии подростка: итоги структурного моделирования

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">The study is aimed at identifying the contribution of value orientations to the psychological well-being in older adolescents. The structural modeling method (SEM) tested hypotheses about the relationship between subjective well-being, various personal characteristics and value orientations. The study involved 2647 students of professional educational organizations aged 16 to 19 years (mean age=17±1 years, median=17 years), of which 734 people (28%) were female, 1913 were male. Subjective well-being was measured using WHO-5 Well-Being Index and Ryff Scale of Psychological Well-Being. To assess personal characteristics, the Muddy hardiness test, the Tromsø Social Intelligence Questionnaire, and the BPAQ Bass-Perry Aggressiveness Questionnaire were selected. To study value orientations, Schwartz Value Survey was used. Modeling results show that values content and interrelations not only do not contribute to subjective well-being, but are also an "extra" component. The best model (TLI=0,90; SRMR=0,04; GFI=0,95; RMSEA=0,05) shows that the main contribution to the subjective well-being of a person is made by the degree of correspondence between the value orientations of the individual and the reference group (in the country, environment, etc.): if ideas about what values should be coincide with those a person has, then his/her subjective well-being increases.</span></p>

The functioning of the family system and its relation to the psychological well-being of spouses in the context of their religious commitment

The article describes the functioning of family systems and its relation to the psychological well-being of spouses in the context of their religious commitment. The spouses play a very important role, as their mutual relationship affects the functioning the entire family system. Positive mental functioning, or the psychological well-being of husband and wife, can have an impact on these relationships. The aim of the study was to verify the connections between the functioning of the family and the psychological well-being of the spouses and to identify the predictors of the analyzed variables. The study included 130 married couples – an equal number of men and women making up 65 marriage systems bringing up school-age children. The following measures were used in the study: Family Assessment Scales (SOR) by Andrzej Margasiński (2013), based on the Polish adaptation of FACES IV – Flexibility and Cohesion Evaluation Scales by David H. Olson; Caroll Ryff’s Psychological Well-Being Scales, as adapted into Polish by Dominika Karaś and Jan Cieciuch (2017); and the Religious Commitment Inventory-10 (RCI-10-PL) by E. Worthington and colleagues, as adapted into Polish by Jarosław Polak and Damian Grabowski (2017). The analyses of the relationship between the variables shows that the more balanced and well-functioning the system is, the higher is the well-being perceived by the husband and wife. The crucial predictors of a “healthy” family include some dimensions of well-being: high self-acceptance, personal growth, and positive relations with others. Some differences in the analyzed variables between husbands and wives were also found.

Effects of a mindfulness-based intervention and a health self-management programme on psychological well-being in older adults with subjective cognitive decline: Secondary analyses from the SCD-Well randomised clinical trial

Objectives Older adults with subjective cognitive decline (SCD) recruited from memory clinics have an increased risk of developing dementia and regularly experience reduced psychological well-being related to memory concerns and fear of dementia. Research on improving well-being in SCD is limited and lacks non-pharmacological approaches. We investigated whether mindfulness-based and health education interventions can enhance well-being in SCD. Methods The SCD-Well trial (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT03005652) randomised 147 older adults with SCD to an 8-week caring mindfulness-based approach for seniors (CMBAS) or an active comparator (health self-management programme [HSMP]). Well-being was assessed at baseline, post-intervention, and 6-month post-randomisation using the Psychological Well-being Scale (PWBS), the World Health Organisation’s Quality of Life (QoL) Assessment psychological subscale, and composites capturing meditation-based well-being dimensions of awareness, connection, and insight. Mixed effects models were used to assess between- and within-group differences in change. Results CMBAS was superior to HSMP on changes in connection at post-intervention. Within both groups, PWBS total scores, psychological QoL, and composite scores did not increase. Exploratory analyses indicated increases in PWBS autonomy at post-intervention in both groups. Conclusion Two non-pharmacological interventions were associated with only limited effects on psychological well-being in SCD. Longer intervention studies with waitlist/retest control groups are needed to assess if our findings reflect intervention brevity and/or minimal base rate changes in well-being.

Social, Behavioral, and Academic Ramifications of Video Game Playing in College

The purpose of this research project is to determine whether video game usage influences the psychological well-being of college students. This project seeks to understand technology usage habits among students and whether this affects school performance. Previous research suggests video games may be used to treat psychological issues such as anxiety. Self-report studies note video games were helpful in certain populations in coping with stress, developing positive social behaviors, and improving cognitive abilities (Carras et al., 2018; Nuyens et al., 2019; Schuurmans et al., 2018;). Since psychological well-being is a crucial factor in academic performance (Carton & Goodboy, 2015; Punia & Malaviya, 2015), the current study will examine potential relationships between gaming and college GPAs. Poor habits related to technological usage may lead to negative mental health outcomes. A survey examining these factors was completed by college students at Texas Woman’s University. The survey was composed of questions from the Internet Gaming Disorder Scale, Psychological Wellbeing Scale, and Boundary Management Subscale. Data was tested using ANOVAs, a Tukey HSD test as a post hoc test, and Eta squared. The results of the data found gaming tendencies were not significantly associated with GPA but were associated with negative mental health outcomes and increased issues with technology boundary management. The study has marked limitations due to the lack of non-gaming survey participants and most respondents identifying as female. These findings may be useful for clinicians in treating addictive gaming tendencies. Future research should examine more diverse student populations.

Emotion regulation strategies on psychological distress and psychological well-being of caregivers of mentally challenged children: moderating role of social support

ABSTRACT This study investigates the moderating role of social support in the relationship between emotion regulation, psychological distress, and psychological well-being of caregivers of mentally challenged children. A total of 315 caregivers aged 18–62 (M age = 36.99, SD = 9.90; 38.7% male, 61.3% female) completed the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire, Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, Depression Anxiety Stress Scale, and Psychological Well-being Scale. The results indicated that social support significantly moderated the relationship between cognitive reappraisal, expressive suppression, and psychological well-being. However, the moderating effect of social support in the relationship between cognitive reappraisal, expressive suppression, and psychological distress was insignificant. The findings suggest that caregivers of mentally challenged children with high social support will report higher psychological well-being when they adopt cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression strategies.

The Effect of Preoperative Education Given to Patients Who Will Have a Mastectomy: A Randomized Controlled Trial

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of the education provided to patients who would undergo mastectomy on psychological well-being and quality of recovery. The study had a randomized controlled trial design. The study was completed with 62 patients (30 in the experimental group and 32 in the control group). The experimental group received education the day before the operation, and the applications were made 3 days after the operation. A questionnaire form, the psychological well-being scale, and the quality of recovery questionnaire-40 (QoR-40) were used to collect the study data. The mean total score of the final measurement of the psychological well-being scale was higher in the experimental group than in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant. The difference between the final measurement total score average of QoR-40 and the final measurement point average of the subdimensions of the patients in the experimental and control groups was measured. The difference was statistically significant and the mean score of the experimental group was higher. Education can increase the level of psychological well-being and quality of recovery in patients who undergo mastectomy. Physiological and psychological education can be used as a tool in nursing practice to improve the level of psychological well-being and quality of recovery in postoperative patients.

P35: Relationship between Psychological Capital, Well-Being & Mental Health of Middle- aged & Older University Staff

Objective:People are staying in the workforce longer with the employment rates of older adults rising considerably over the years. Particularly, the higher education sector is known to have an aging workforce where a large proportion of staff is older than 55 years. Psychological capital, which refers to an individual’s positive psychological state of development, includes four core dimensions: self-efficacy, hope, optimism and resilience. Understanding of the impact of psychological capital on wellbeing and mental health of working middle-aged to older adults is limited. This paper will present the survey outcomes on psychological capital, wellbeing and mental health of middle-aged and older university staff.Methods:Data were collected using established Psychological Capital Questionnaire (PCQ), Psychological Well-Being Scale (PWBS) and Positive Mental Health (PMH) tool.Results:The mean age of 29 survey respondents was 55.37 years (SD=4.26) with the majority being female (27; 90%) and, on average, worked at the university for 8.35 years (SD=5.92). Total mean scores for PsyCap, PWBS and PMH were 111.77 (SD=16.15); 231.37 (SD=36.15); and 31.43 (SD=4.58) respectively. PsyCap was moderately correlated with PMH (r=.546) and PWBS (r=.481) as well as PWBS subscales on positive relationships (r=.483), self-acceptance (r=.450) and environmental mastery (r=.558).Conclusion:While limited by the small sample size, this study provides preliminary evidence that psychological capital can potentially positively influence well-being and mental health and that program focusing on improving psychological capital can be considered to improve well-being and mental health of middle-aged and older staff working in the higher education sector.

The predictive roles of parental stress and intolerance of uncertainty on psychological well-being of parents with a newborn in neonatal intensive care unit: a hierarchical linear regression analysis

BackgroundHospitalization of newborns in neonatal intensive care units (NICU) exposes parents to considerable stress. This study aimed to determine the predictive role of parental stress and intolerance of uncertainty on the psychological well-being of parents with a newborn in NICU using hierarchical linear regression analysis.MethodsThis cross-sectional study included 130 parents of newborns hospitalized in the NICU. Data were collected using Parental Stress Scale, Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale, and Psychological Wellbeing Scale. The data were analyzed in SPSS v.26 using hierarchical linear regression analysis.ResultsThe mean scores of the parents’ psychological well-being, parental stress, and intolerance of uncertainty were 79.08 (SD = 11.70), 63.06 (SD = 26.71), and 75.38 (SD = 19.40), respectively. The result of the hierarchical linear regression analysis revealed that, in step 1, academic education had a significant proportion of the variance of parents’ psychological well-being (β = 0.26, P = 0.005). In step 2, it was shown that academic education (β=-0.25, P = 0.006) and parental stress (β=-0.25, P = 0.006) had a significant proportion of the variance of parents’ psychological well-being. According to step 2, education levels, parental stress, and intolerance of uncertainty explained 22% of the changes in parents’ psychological well-being.ConclusionThere was a significant association between the parents’ psychological well-being and education levels, intolerance of uncertainty, and parental stress. Academic education and parental stress were the predictors of parents’ psychological well-being. Based on these findings, early detection of parents’ education and stress are important for their psychological well-being.

An 18-month meditation training selectively improves psychological well-being in older adults: A secondary analysis of a randomised controlled trial.

As the world population is ageing, it is vital to understand how older adults can maintain and deepen their psychological well-being as they are confronted with the unique challenges of ageing in a complex world. Theoretical work has highlighted the promising role of intentional mental training such as meditation practice for enhancing human flourishing. However, meditation-based randomised controlled trials in older adults are lacking. We aimed to investigate the effects of meditation training on psychological well-being in older adults. This study presents a secondary analysis of the Age-Well trial (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT02977819), which randomised 137 healthy older adults (age range: 65 to 84 years) to an 18-month meditation training, an active comparator (English language training), or a passive control. Well-being was measured at baseline, mid-intervention, and 18-month post-randomisation using the Psychological Well-being Scale (PWBS), the World Health Organisation's Quality of Life (QoL) Assessment psychological subscale, and composite scores reflecting the meditation-based well-being dimensions of awareness, connection, insight, and a global score comprising the average of these meditation-based dimensions. The 18-month meditation training was superior to English training on changes in the global score (0.54 [95% CI: 0.26, 0.82], p = 0.0002) and the subscales of awareness, connection, insight, and superior to no-intervention only on changes in the global score (0.54 [95% CI: 0.26, 0.82], p = 0.0002) and awareness. Between-group differences in psychological QoL in favour of meditation did not remain significant after adjusting for multiple comparisons. There were no between-group differences in PWBS total score. Within the meditation group, psychological QoL, awareness, insight, and the global score increased significantly from baseline to 18-month post-randomisation. The longest randomised meditation training conducted to date enhanced a global composite score reflecting the meditation-based well-being dimensions of awareness, connection, and insight in older adults. Future research is needed to delineate the cognitive, affective, and behavioural factors that predict responsiveness to meditation and thus help refine the development of tailored meditation training.

Tolerance to ridiculous impacts in school children with a great range of psychological well-being

The impact of the psychological well-being level of high school seniors on their tolerance for cognitive load was analyzed. The study involved 93 students: 45 males and 48 females – 11th-grade students from Dnipro (Ukraine), who were categorized into three groups based on their level of psychological well-being: I – individuals with a high level of psychological well-being, II – individuals with an average level of psychological well-being, and III – individuals with a low level of psychological well-being. To determine the level of psychological well-being, the "Scales of Psychological Well-Being" (SPWB) questionnaire was used, adapted by T.D. Shevelenkova and P.P. Fesenko. Cognitive load was assessed using the correction test by V.Ya. Anfimov and arithmetic tasks, allowing the evaluation of the ability to perceive significant information. Task performance efficiency was determined by the number of correctly solved tasks in 5 minutes (accuracy) and the total number of tasks completed (speed of execution). The level of tolerance to cognitive load was assessed using E.P. Il'in's tapping test modified by G.V. Okhromiy. Tolerance to cognitive load was evaluated based on the difference in the lability of the nervous system before and after the test. Statistical processing was conducted using the Statistica 6.0 application program for Windows. It was found that students with average and high levels of psychological well-being demonstrated better tolerance to cognitive load than students with a low level of psychological well-being. At a low level of psychological well-being, males exhibited a moderate-low type of nervous system and average lability of nervous system processes, while females showed a weak type of nervous system and low lability of nervous system processes.

Personal Features and Their Impact on an Individual’s Hardiness

Hardiness characterizes the degree of formation the ability to withstand a stressful situation, maintain internal balance, without reducing the success of activities and is the foundation of personal characteristics. The purpose of the study is to identify personal resources and determine their impact on hardiness. Methods of the research. The following methods were used to identify personal resources and determine their impact on hardiness: Maddi’s Hardiness Scale; Shostrom’s Personal Orientation Inventory; Sheldon’s Self Determination Scale; Crumbaugh Purpose in Life Test; Ryff’s Scales of Psychological Well-being; Wiesbaden Inventory for Positive Psychotherapy and Family Therapy. The sample of our study consisted of 807 people, aged from 14 to 70 years, different in terms of education, professional employment, specialty, family and social status and from different cities and villages of Ukraine. The results of the research. It was investigated that the values of the hardiness indicators components are expressed at an average level and are within the normal range. The average level of hardiness (68.2%) prevails among the respondents. It has been found that the hardiness predictors are meaningfulness of life, autonomy, self-acceptance and self-confidence. We established the relationship between hardiness and personal resources, which include primary and secondary abilities, using the correlation analysis. All components of hardiness have been shown to correlate with primary capacities such as time, contact, trust, hope, sexuality, and love. Diligence, reliability and thrift are influential among the secondary abilities. Conclusions. The analysis of personal resources proves that meaningful life goals are the resource for the hardiness development. The components of hardiness are related to self-determination, self-organization, psychological wellbeing, and the reality and awareness of life goals. The leading role in the hardiness development belongs to personal resources. The resources that influence hardiness are determined using variance analysis: love, contacts, hope and trust.

Teenagers’ Well-Being through Family Leisure Activities

The rise in mental health issues and suicide rates among adolescents in Indonesia emphasizes the significance of prioritizing adolescent mental health. One key contributor to mental health issues and suicide among adolescents is the family unit. The psychological well-being of adolescents is linked to the dynamics of dual-earner families. The study seeks the correlation between family engagement in leisure activities and adolescents' psychological well-being from dual-income households in Indonesia. The research method employed is correlational. The study cohort comprises 173 adolescents from dual-income households selected through accidental sampling. Family Leisure Activity Profile (FLAP) and Ryff's Psychological Well-being Scale (RPWBS) measured family participation in leisure activities and subsequent psychological well-being. The results of the Spearman-rank correlation test revealed a significant positive association between family engagement in leisure activities and psychological well-being dimensions such as autonomy, environmental mastery, positive relationships with others, purpose in life, and self-acceptance (rs= 0.237-0.294, p< 0.01). The results also showed no correlation between family involvement in leisure activities and personal growth (rs= 0.880, p= 0.295). Therefore, increased family involvement in leisure time corresponds to enhanced psychological well-being for adolescents in dual-earner families. Parents who work should organize routine activities and leisure time with their teenagers, which promote self-expression, values transfer, and improved family members’ psychological well-being.
