The factors that contribute towards an individual seeking help from a counsellor or psychotherapist for a mental, nervous or emotional problem are explored in this study. A multivariate logistic regression is applied to analyse data from the 2006 National Psychological Wellbeing and Distress Survey. Individuals living in rural areas and in towns with populations of between 5,000 and 10,000 people are found to be less likely to seek counselling, relative to individuals living in Dublin City. Respondents earning the lowest income were less likely to enter therapy compared with respondents earning the highest, while having private health insurance increased the probability of a respondent entering therapy. Individuals aged between 18 and 39 years and between 50 and 64 years are more likely to seek the help of a counsellor. Finally, attending a general practitioner, psychologist, social worker, or member of the clergy increased the likelihood of an individual seeking help from a counsellor or psychotherapist. No such effect was found for attending either a psychiatrist or nurse.
本研究探讨了个人因心理、神经或情绪问题寻求咨询师或心理治疗师帮助的因素。应用多元逻辑回归分析了2006年全国心理健康和痛苦调查的数据。与居住在都柏林市的个人相比,居住在农村地区和人口在5000至10000人之间的城镇的个人不太可能寻求咨询。与收入最高的受访者相比,收入最低的受访者不太可能接受治疗,而拥有私人健康保险会增加受访者接受治疗的可能性。年龄在18至39岁和50至64岁之间的人更有可能寻求咨询师的帮助。最后,去看全科医生、心理学家、社会工作者或神职人员会增加个人向顾问或心理治疗师寻求帮助的可能性。无论是去看心理医生还是护士,都没有发现这种效果。

This study was prompted by the scarcity of literature on life satisfaction among mining-induced displacees in less developed economies. The study therefore quantified life satisfaction and determined the correlates of life satisfaction among internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Arda Transau. It was found that generally life satisfaction has not largely changed between pre-and post-displacement periods but the change was statistically significant. Ordered Logit Model results indicate that current life satisfaction is significantly determined by household size, social capital and neighbourhood characteristics while future life satisfaction depends on social support, perceived health status and neighbourhood characteristics. Recommendations from the study include that individuals must make use of their social connectedness to derive maximum benefits since social capital and social support were found to be among the major determinants of life satisfaction among IDPs.
这项研究是由于缺乏关于欠发达经济体采矿引起的流离失所者生活满意度的文献。因此,该研究量化了生活满意度,并确定了Arda Transau境内流离失所者生活满意度的相关性。研究发现,一般来说,流离失所前后的生活满意度没有很大变化,但这种变化具有统计学意义。有序Logit模型结果表明,当前的生活满意度主要由家庭规模、社会资本和邻里特征决定,而未来的生活满意度则取决于社会支持、感知健康状况和邻里特征。该研究的建议包括,个人必须利用其社会联系来获得最大利益,因为社会资本和社会支持是国内流离失所者生活满意度的主要决定因素之一。

This study explores the differences between male and female employees in individual creativity and personal playfulness. Findings of this study showed that male employees have more personal playfulness than female employees, whereas female employees who received higher education and have more support from their husband tend to show higher levels of personal playfulness and creativity. Moreover, personal playfulness can increase employee creativity and such increase differs between male and female employees. By considering playfulness in the workplace as a personality trait, this study therefore contributes to the existing literature of human resource development.
本研究探讨男女员工在个人创造力和个人玩乐性方面的差异。本研究发现,男性员工比女性员工有更多的个人游戏性,而受教育程度较高、得到丈夫更多支持的女性员工往往表现出更高的个人游戏性和创造力。此外,个人玩乐可以提高员工的创造力,这种提高在男性和女性员工之间是不同的。通过将工作场所的游戏性视为一种人格特质,本研究因此有助于现有的人力资源开发文献。

Despite a marked interest of psychosocial sciences in psychosis, there remains a scarcity of academic literature describing experiences of subjective wellbeing (SWB) among individuals with such condition. A recently published model of strengths-based cognitive behavioural therapy for psychosis (sbCBTp) explicitly recognises individual SWB as a central target in individual recovery. As such, sbCBTp integrates applied positive psychology interventions within the realms of an evidence-based psychotherapy to help individuals with psychosis recover beyond the point of symptom reduction. To date, no single subject research has been published describing a systematic implementation of sbCBTp undertaken within a clinical environment. This rigorous case study addresses such a gap in empirical literature. Standardised measurements, behaviour frequency sampling, and subjective data were utilised to evaluate the outcomes, indicating a considerable improvement in the client's SWB. The paper highlights the applicability of strengths-based psychotherapeutic strategies in helping individuals with complex mental ill-health achieve reasonable levels of life satisfaction.
尽管心理社会科学对精神病有明显的兴趣,但在这种情况下,描述主观幸福感(SWB)经历的学术文献仍然稀缺。最近发表的基于优势的精神病认知行为治疗模型(sbCBTp)明确承认,个体主观幸福感是个体康复的中心目标。因此,sbCBTp在基于证据的心理治疗领域内整合了应用积极心理学干预,以帮助精神病患者从症状减轻的角度恢复过来。迄今为止,还没有发表过描述在临床环境中系统实施sbCBTp的单一主题研究。这个严谨的案例研究解决了经验文献中的这一空白。标准化测量、行为频率采样和主观数据被用来评估结果,表明客户的主观幸福感有了相当大的改善。本文强调了基于优势的心理治疗策略在帮助复杂心理疾病个体达到合理的生活满意度水平方面的适用性。

At present, well-being remains as an important topic that is constantly discussed in the academia setting. Intense technological revolution and changes in administration, approaches as well as job characteristics have increased the need for thorough well-being administration among workers in higher education sectors, especially among academics as they serve as the backbone of higher education system. That said, this paper investigated the well-being conditions of academics through the lenses of their work-life balance. To address this proposition, a total of 307 academics were observed, whereby their conditions of well-being were investigated by evaluating their mental health, job satisfaction and turnover intention. This study utilised a quantitative approach, using a self-administered survey as the data collection tool. Results obtained pointed out two important patterns, one of which was that poor work-life balance was connected to poor condition of mental health, lower job satisfaction and higher turnover intention. In contrary, great work-life balance was linked with good mental health condition, higher job satisfaction and lower turnover intention. Discussion drawn from this paper highlighted the significance and twofold effects of work-life balance in affecting academics' well-being, which will in turn benefit future researchers, human resource practitioners and academics itself.
目前,幸福感仍然是学术界不断讨论的一个重要话题。激烈的技术革命和管理、方法以及工作特点的变化增加了高等教育部门工作人员,特别是作为高等教育系统支柱的学者对全面福利管理的需要。也就是说,本文通过对学者的工作与生活平衡的镜头来调查他们的幸福状况。为了解决这一问题,我们观察了307名学者,通过评估他们的心理健康、工作满意度和离职倾向来调查他们的幸福状况。本研究采用定量方法,采用自我管理的调查作为数据收集工具。研究结果指出了两种重要的模式,其中一种模式是工作与生活平衡差与心理健康状况差、工作满意度低和离职倾向高有关。反之,良好的工作与生活平衡与良好的心理健康状况、较高的工作满意度和较低的离职倾向有关。本文的讨论强调了工作与生活平衡在影响学者幸福感方面的重要性和双重效应,这反过来将有利于未来的研究人员、人力资源从业者和学者本身。

Although hunger levels across the globe have generally declined in the last two decades, food insecurity remains a global public policy concern. Moreover, the majority of the world's most food insecure people reside in South East Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. These regions are also among the world's regions with some of the lowest scores of subjective wellbeing, another public policy priority engaging world leaders. In this study, we examine association between food insecurity and subjective wellbeing in Sub-Saharan Africa. Using data from the Wave 6 of the World Values Survey for five countries, our results from OLS regressions reveal that food insecure people are significantly less likely to report being satisfied with their lives. A potential policy implication of our findings is that by reducing food insecurity public policy in Sub-Saharan Africa could improve subjective wellbeing.
虽然过去二十年来全球饥饿水平普遍下降,但粮食不安全仍然是全球公共政策关注的问题。此外,世界上大多数粮食不安全人口居住在东南亚和撒哈拉以南非洲。这些地区也是世界上主观幸福感最低的地区之一,这是另一个吸引世界领导人的公共政策重点。在这项研究中,我们研究了撒哈拉以南非洲地区粮食不安全与主观幸福感之间的关系。使用来自五个国家的世界价值观调查第六轮的数据,我们的OLS回归结果显示,粮食不安全的人对生活感到满意的可能性要低得多。我们的研究结果的一个潜在政策含义是,通过减少撒哈拉以南非洲的粮食不安全,公共政策可以改善主观幸福感。

Finding the skeleton key to happiness: evaluating model invariance of subjective well-being in a comparison of large urban centres worldwide 寻找幸福的关键:在全球大型城市中心的比较中评估主观幸福感的模型不变性

How well we can we predict a citizen's happiness? Numerous antecedent factors - including higher creativity, optimism, longevity; and lower hostility and self-centredness - have been identified as important. The present study compared the antecedents that contribute to personal happiness from several large urban centres around the world, testing the hypothesis of model invariance that supposes any given model may be applied globally. Data from an archival dataset (Lee, 2006) included various elements of city life: economy, culture and education, income, safety, living conditions, city administration, health, city pride, and current level of happiness. Results showed each urban centre required a unique profile of antecedents, offering little evidence to support the invariance assumption. Overall, health was the most common predictor of happiness (especially for males), followed by city pride and household income. Lower explained variance was typical among the samples, suggesting that additional factors are required to capture the scope of urban quality of life. Future research directions are discussed.
我们能在多大程度上预测一个公民的幸福?许多先行因素-包括更高的创造力、乐观主义、长寿;以及降低敌意和以自我为中心-被认为是重要的。本研究比较了世界上几个大城市中心有助于个人幸福的前因,检验了假设任何给定模型都可以在全球应用的模型不变性假设。来自档案数据集的数据(Lee,2006)包括城市生活的各种要素:经济、文化和教育、收入、安全、生活条件、城市管理、健康、城市自豪感和当前幸福水平。结果表明,每个城市中心都需要一个独特的前因档案,几乎没有证据支持不变性假设。总体而言,健康是幸福感的最常见预测因素(尤其是男性),其次是城市自豪感和家庭收入。较低的解释方差在样本中是典型的,这表明需要额外的因素来捕捉城市生活质量的范围。讨论了未来的研究方向。

This paper explores the impact of human development on economic growth in a large Asian panel, covering more than 83% of the entire Asian economy, by using data from 1990 to 2014 for each country. In this paper, the growth model considering human development unlike Malthusian and Neoclassical views is augmented with other key macroeconomic variables namely per capita electricity consumption and capital formation to represent a hyperopic view of impact on economic growth. Human development has significant positive impact on economic growth both in the short-run and in the long-run like that of electricity consumption and capital formation. However, fertility has significant negative impact on economic growth in the short-run unlike that of the long-run. Imbalance in economic growth takes approximately 9.5 years to adjust. Innovation in human development makes economic growth respond slightly positively in next 8 years and explains a part of variation in economic growth.
本文利用1990年至2014年每个国家的数据,探讨了人类发展对亚洲经济增长的影响,亚洲经济占整个亚洲经济的83%以上。在本文中,与马尔萨斯和新古典主义观点不同,考虑人类发展的增长模型被其他关键的宏观经济变量(即人均电力消耗和资本形成)所扩充,以代表对经济增长影响的远视观点。人类发展在短期和长期对经济增长都有重大的积极影响,就像电力消耗和资本形成一样。然而,与长期不同,生育率在短期内对经济增长有显著的负面影响。经济增长的不平衡需要大约9.5年的时间来调整。人类发展的创新使未来8年的经济增长略有积极响应,并解释了经济增长变化的一部分原因。

However, fertility has significant negative impact on economic growth in the short-run unlike that of the long-run. Imbalance in economic growth takes approximately 9.5 years to adjust. Innovation in human development makes economic growth respond slightly positively in next 8 years and explains a part of variation in economic growth.","PeriodicalId":42619,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Happiness and Development","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2019-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49105061","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Given the costs and benefits of mining to local communities, and the difference in availability of resources between rural and urban communities, the study compared well-being in the South African coal mining communities of Chief Albert Luthuli and Mhluzi. Questionnaires were administered to random samples of households from these two communities. Results indicated that both communities could be described as poor in terms of household income, food insecurity, and receipt of social grants; however, poverty levels were more severe in rural Chief Albert Luthuli. While both communities acknowledged the negative environmental impacts of mining, more people in urban Mhluzi felt that their lives had improved and that the benefits of mining outweighed the costs. Overall, well-being was better in the urban than the rural mining community, thereby providing support for the assumption regarding urban-rural differences underpinning the study.
考虑到当地社区的采矿成本和收益,以及农村和城市社区资源可用性的差异,该研究比较了Albert Luthuli酋长和Mhluzi酋长在南非煤矿社区的福祉。调查对象为这两个社区的随机抽样家庭。结果表明,就家庭收入、粮食不安全和获得社会补助而言,这两个社区都可以被描述为贫困;然而,农村酋长阿尔伯特·卢图利的贫困程度更为严重。虽然两个社区都承认采矿对环境的负面影响,但姆卢兹城市中更多的人觉得他们的生活有所改善,采矿的好处超过了成本。总体而言,城市的幸福感要好于农村采矿社区,从而为支持该研究的城乡差异假设提供了支持。
