Abstract

The economic downturn causes a fluctuation of Malaysian beggars with disrupted psychological states. The research focuses on happiness, subjective well-being, and gratitude among the beggars in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor. Ten beggars participated in an in-depth interview. Their selection was based on a purposive sampling technique. Findings show that with life satisfaction and maintained health conditions, they would be contented. Intolerable circumstances currently made the beggars wishing they could restart an ideal life to restore their subjective well-being. Amidst gratefulness, beggars tend to wake up with an appreciation for every little thing. However, the limited psychological care given has caused the number of beggars to escalate. The number of beggars would dwindle by appraising the public with what they necessitate through an awareness brought by findings from the study.

马来西亚乞丐的心理状态:快乐、主观幸福感和感恩
经济衰退导致马来西亚乞丐的波动,他们的心理状态受到影响。该研究主要关注吉隆坡和雪兰莪州乞丐的幸福感、主观幸福感和感激之情。十位乞丐参加了一次深度采访。他们的选择是基于有目的的抽样技术。调查结果显示,在生活满意度和保持健康状况的情况下,他们会感到满意。无法忍受的环境使乞丐们希望能够重新开始理想的生活,以恢复他们的主观幸福感。在感恩中,乞丐往往会对每一件小事都心存感激。然而,有限的心理护理导致了乞丐数量的上升。通过研究结果带来的意识来评价公众的需要,乞丐的数量将会减少。
