Esta pesquisa teve por objetivo investigar as relações entre a percepção de religiosidade e as forças pessoais e as diferenças quanto à idade, ao sexo e nível de religiosidade dos participantes. Para ...tanto, 92 estudantes, com idades entre 18 e 64 anos (M= 25,13; DP=8,09), de uma universidade particular do estado de São Paulo, responderam à Escala de Avaliação da Percepção de Religiosidade (EAPRE) e à Escala de Forças de Caráter (EFC). Foram encontradas correlações significativas entre 21 forças da EFC, e o fator internalização da EAPRE (r entre 0,21 e 0,49), e três forças pessoais com o fator externalização (r entre 0,25 e 0,53). As mulheres apresentaram maiores médias que os homens no fator internalização da EAPRE e em seis forças de caráter da EFC. Além disso, os participantes que se percebiam com alto nível de religiosidade apresentaram maiores médias na força espiritualidade. Pesquisas com outras amostras são necessárias para permitir o amadurecimento dos conceitos investigados, sobretudo no Brasil, onde os instrumentos que avaliam construtos da psicologia positiva estão em desenvolvimento.
Shaping livable cities is an enduring issue for urban planning, which came dramatically to the forefront of relevant policies with the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. This study explores ...what makes cities livable by using neighborhood satisfaction and neighborhood happiness as measures of urban livability. The determinants of neighborhood satisfaction and neighborhood happiness are examined and compared, using geospatial and survey data from two cities, one from the South and the other from the North European context: Thessaloniki, Greece and Oslo, Norway. A structural equation model is developed and tested. In both cities, common determinants of neighborhood satisfaction are found to be the proximity to city center, neighborhood perceived safety, and place attachment, whereas common determinants of neighborhood happiness are found to be neighborhood perceived safety, neighborhood perceived quietness, neighborhood social cohesion, place attachment, and lower neighborhood density. Important differences between the two cities were also observed. Numerous local amenities seem to positively contribute to urban livability in Thessaloniki, but not in Oslo. Parks and trees are positively linked to neighborhood happiness in Oslo, but not in Thessaloniki. These differences support the view that some of the links between neighborhood characteristics and livability depend on the local context related to local culture, attitudes, and preferences, all of which might also be influenced by the local built environment.
•Sense of safety and place attachment are important predictors of neighborhood satisfaction and neighborhood happiness.•Short distance to the city center linked to higher neighborhood satisfaction.•Conversely, higher neighborhood density linked to lower neighborhood happiness.•Green space is associated with neighborhood happiness in Oslo.•Numerous amenities are associated with neighborhood satisfaction in Thessaloniki.
Background With the population ages, the mental health of the elderly has become a hot topic of concern for the whole society. Previous studies have shown that mental health problems in the elderly ...are closely related to well-being, while personality traits have a greater impact on subjective well-being. However, the internal relationship between the two in the elderly population is still unclear. Objective To explore the relationship between subjective well-being and personality traits of the elderly. Methods From July to August 2022, 511 elderly people in Lincun, Tangxia Town, Dongguan City, Guangdong Province were selected as the subjects by using cluster sampling method, conduct a site survey by using the questionnaire survey. The subjective well-being and personality traits of the elderly were evaluated by the Memorial University of Newfoundland Scale of Happiness (MUNSH) and the China Big Five Personality Scale (CBF-PI-15) respectively. Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation be
•Limiting the frequency of checking email throughout the day reduced daily stress.•Lower daily stress predicts greater well-being (e.g., higher positive affect).•The frequency of checking email did ...not directly impact other well-being outcomes.
Using email is one of the most common online activities in the world today. Yet, very little experimental research has examined the effect of email on well-being. Utilizing a within-subjects design, we investigated how the frequency of checking email affects well-being over a period of two weeks. During one week, 124 adults were randomly assigned to limit checking their email to three times a day; during the other week, participants could check their email an unlimited number of times per day. We found that during the limited email use week, participants experienced significantly lower daily stress than during the unlimited email use week. Lower stress, in turn, predicted higher well-being on a diverse range of well-being outcomes. These findings highlight the benefits of checking email less frequently for reducing psychological stress.

Esta pesquisa objetivou verificar a relação entre sentido de vida e satisfação com a vida. Participaram 901 pessoas, residentes em 25 estados brasileiros, dos quais 81,9% eram do sexo feminino. As ...idades variaram entre 18 e 77 anos (M=35,19; DP=11,9). Foi aplicado um questionário desenvolvido pelos autores e a Escala de Satisfação com a Vida (ESV). Foi possível observar que as pessoas que praticam alguma religião estão mais satisfeitas com a vida do que aquelas que não frequentam instituições religiosas. Em relação à escolaridade, indivíduos que declararam ter cursado Pós-Graduação apresentaram níveis mais altos de satisfação com a vida quando comparados com os que cursaram Ensino Médio e Ensino Superior. Além disso, os homens afirmaram mais frequentemente ausência de algo importante na vida. Os achados são discutidos à luz da literatura.
Los adolescentes viven en constante interacción con los ámbitos de su vida familiar, escolar y del barrio, dicha interrelación mantieneun papel activo que influye en su bienestar subjetivo. El ...objetivo del estudio fue determinar la influencia de los ámbitos familia, escuela y barrio sobre la satisfacción con la vida de adolescentes chilenos. La muestra fue de 1392 adolescentes, quienes participaron en la International Survey on Children's Well-Being (ISCWeB) en Chile. Los resultados prueban que un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales configurado con cinco dimensiones referidas a la familia, la escuela y el barrio contribuyeron, conjuntamente, a explicar 41% de la varianza de la satisfacción con la vida de los estudiantes. Al añadir al modelo, las variables género, edad e índice de vulnerabilidad escolar no se observó ninguna influencia en la satisfacción vital. Un hallazgo inesperado y contradictorio con otros estudios fue que la satisfacción con la escuela no ejerció influencia en este modelo. Las implicancias del estudio refieren a que los resultados pueden funcionar como diagnóstico para proponer intervenciones del bienestar subjetivo basadas en fortalecer el ámbito familiar, escolar o del barrio de los estudiantes.
Facing increasing critique that PISA focuses too narrowly on cognitive achievement and human/knowledge capital, the OECD has recently shifted some of its focus to student happiness. The 2017 ...Students' Well-Being report distinguishes between 'happy schools' and 'unhappy schools', showing that among students who combined high performance and life satisfaction, northern European countries topped the charts. Meanwhile, students in East Asian countries including Japan, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Korea registered the lowest 'life satisfaction' scores among all participating countries. This piece points out some of the problems inherent in the OECD's recent turn to happiness, problematizing the OECD yardstick of life satisfaction. Attempting to keep the critique constructive, we suggest that the OECD may want to consider using alternative metrics, then briefly highlight one developed in East Asia from different first assumptions: the Interdependent Happiness Scale. In conclusion we flag, but cannot answer, some related educational questions concerning policy, pedagogy, and priorities for the future.
We defined home-related subjective well-being by constructing sets of its elements and examined its factor structure. The following findings were obtained:1. A statistically supported three-factor ...model of home-related SWB, comprising home satisfaction, emotion at home and eudaimonia derived from home, was identified through factor analysis.2. The domain of ‘eudaimonia derived from home’ can be characterized by the elements of ‘engagement and accomplishment,’ ‘aesthetic experience,’ ‘meaning,’ and ‘self-acceptance and self-esteem’.3. ‘Attachment to home’ was found not to be associated with a specific domain of the home-related SWB.4. Each domain of the home-related SWB has distinct determinants.
