Abstract
The present study examined life satisfaction, basic psychological needs (autonomy, competence and relatedness) and cognitive emotion regulation strategies among Pakistani orphanages residents (8-17 years). For study, 372 residents comprised the sample of study, from three orphanage types. 123 residents of Pakistan Sweet Home (PSH), 128 residents of children’s village and 121 residents of local orphanages completed the assessment battery consisted to Student Life Satisfaction Scale (SLSS; Huebner, 1991), Basic Psychological Need Satisfaction and Frustration Scale-Child version (NSF; Van der Kaap-Deeder et al., 2015) and Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire-Kids (ERQ; Granefski, Rieffe, Jellesma, Terwogt, & Kraaij, 2007). Analysis indicated relationship of study variables: life satisfaction, psychological needs and strategies of cognitive emotion regulation. Life satisfaction was positively predicted by relatedness satisfaction and autonomy satisfaction. However, unfulfilled relatedness need, and catastrophizing were negatively predicting satisfaction with life. Findings may be implicated for provision of better environment in orphanages of Pakistan.
本研究调查了巴基斯坦孤儿院居民(8-17岁)的生活满意度、基本心理需求(自主性、能力和关联性)和认知情绪调节策略。在研究中,372名居民构成了研究样本,来自三种类型的孤儿院。123名巴基斯坦甜蜜之家(PSH)居民、128名儿童村居民和121名当地孤儿院居民完成了学生生活满意度量表(SLSS;Huebner,1991年)组成的评估组,儿童基本心理需求满意度和挫折量表版本(NSF;Van der Kaap Deeder等人,2015)和儿童认知情绪调节问卷(ERQ;Granefski、Rieffe、Jellesma、Terwogt和Kraaij,2007)。分析表明,生活满意度、心理需求和认知情绪调节策略是研究变量之间的关系。生活满意度由关联满意度和自主满意度正向预测。然而,未满足的关联需求和灾难性的行为对生活满意度产生了负面预测。调查结果可能与巴基斯坦孤儿院提供更好的环境有关。
期刊介绍:
Pakistan Journal of Psychological Research (PJPR) is published biannually by the National Institute of Psychology, Quaid-i-Azam University, Pakistan. Its first issue was published in Summer, 1986. Since then two issues, one in summer and the other in winter, have been appearing every year. The Journal provides an outlet for fully documented researches addressing educational, social, developmental, and other areas of Psychology. Preference is given to empirical articles, which deal with the application of psychological knowledge in understanding the problems of national and international importance. The Journal welcomes contributions from all corners. However, participation from the developing countries is eagerly sought in view of its under-representation in research journals published in the West. The PJPR maintains an international editorial board of Consulting Editors belonging to different countries, with expertise in a large number of areas. It employs a double-blind reviewing process i.e., the authors are not identified to reviewers and reviewers are not made known to authors. The contents of PJPR are being abstracted by the Proquest, and in PsycInfo. PJPR is included in the List of Social Sciences Journals recognized by Higher Education Commission, Pakistan.
