Arab Students

Elevated levels of depressive and somatic symptoms have been documented among college students. Over the past two decades, there has been an increase in the number of Bedouin Arab students studying at institutions of higher education in southern Israel. To date, research on coping and mental health problems among students who are members of this ethnic minority has been limited. This study examined the role of three aspects of perceived social support – availability, satisfaction, and the ability to get emotional support – in predicting depressive and somatic symptoms among Jewish Israeli and Bedouin Arab college students. A total of 89 Bedouin and 101 Jewish first-year students participated in this study, which involved two assessment waves 12 to 14 months apart. Participants completed questionnaires assessing depressive symptoms, somatic complaints, three aspects of perceived social support, and demographics. At Time 1, Bedouin students exhibited higher levels of depressive and somatic symptoms and lower levels of all three aspects of social support. Regression analyses showed that level of emotional support was a prospective predictor of somatization at Time 2. Moreover, when levels of emotional support were low, ethnic group predicted depression at Time 2; emotional support predicted depression only among Bedouin Arabs. The present study highlights the importance of the use of emotional support in predicting somatic complaints and depressive symptoms specifically among Bedouin Arab students. Clinical implications on intervention programs for ethnic minority students will be discussed.

The purpose of the present study was to examine the relationship between happiness and network of social relationships. Network of relationships inventory-relationship quality version (Furman and Buhrmester, 1985) and subjective happiness scale (Lyubomirsky and Lepper, 1999) was administered on 100 undergraduate college students at Gangtok, Sikkim within age range of 17 to 23 years. Pearson's correlation showed that happiness was significantly positively related with companionship, approval and satisfaction with opposite-gender best-friends, emotional support of mother, satisfaction with same-gender best-friends and siblings. However, happiness was found to be negatively correlated with criticism and pressure of girl/boy friend, criticism of mother and siblings, dominance of father, and exclusion of best friends (same/opposite gender), girl/boy friend, siblings, mother and father.
