Voluntary activities are positive activities to facilitating the youth energy for psychologically health and have positive identity formation and predictors of psychological well-being (Bruns, 2012). These are appeal activities for youth. In fact, so much youth activity made a lot of volunteers who have been trained doesn?t participate in voluntary activities. However, there are some youth volunteers who have many years of volunteering spend some time to doing voluntary activities (Dewiyanti, 26 Oktober 2014). The amount of contributed time to voluntary activities may be related with self-acceptance, personal growth, positive relationship with others, environmental mastery, autonomy and purpose of life, there are part of psychological well-being. Purpose of this research are to know the correlation between the frequency of voluntary activities and psychological well-being and factors of that results in youth volunteers in Bali, also want to know the meaning of voluntary activities for youth volunteers in Bali.Methods of this research is quantitative combination in compelementary method (n = 398; age 13-22 years) and qualitative (n = 19 of 398). Spearman's test of quantitative data showed no significant correlation between the frequency of voluntary activities and psychological well-being of youth volunteers in Bali (Men rxy= 0,022;P=0,844, Women rxy= 0,033;P=0,556) because of early adolescence and frequency of voluntary activities can?t describe quality of voluntary activities. The meaning of voluntary activities by youth volunteer in Bali are a social identity, role and self esteem.

Abstract. This research developed a new scale to evaluate Self-Efficacy in Multiple Sclerosis (SEMS). The aim of this study was to investigate dimensionality, item functioning, measurement invariance, and concurrent validity of the SEMS scale. Data were collected from 203 multiple sclerosis (MS) patients (mean age, 39.5 years; 66% women; 95% having a relapsing remitting form of MS). Fifteen items of the SEMS scale were submitted to patients along with measures of psychological well-being, sense of coherence, depression, and coping strategies. Data underwent Rasch analysis and correlation analysis. Rasch analysis indicates the SEMS as a multidimensional construct characterized by two correlated dimensions: goal setting and symptom management, with satisfactory reliability coefficients. Overall, the 15 items reported acceptable fit statistics; the scale demonstrated measurement invariance (with respect to gender and disease duration) and good concurrent validity (positive correlations with psychological well-being, sense of coherence, and coping strategies and negative correlations with depression). Preliminary evidence suggests that SEMS is a psychometrically sound measure to evaluate perceived self-efficacy of MS patients with moderate disability, and it would be a valuable instrument for both research and clinical applications.

This study investigated the direct, reversed, and reciprocal relationships between bidirectional work-family conflict/work-family facilitation and psychological well-being (PWB). We administered a three-wave questionnaire survey to 260 married Chinese employees using a time lag of one month. Cross-lagged structural equation modeling analysis was conducted and demonstrated that the direct model was better than the reversed causal or the reciprocal model. Specifically, work-to-family conflict at Time 1 negatively predicted PWB at Time 2, and work-to-family conflict at Time 2 negatively predicted PWB at Time 3; further, work-to-family facilitation at Time 1 positively predicted PWB at Time 2. In addition, family-to-work facilitation at Time 1 positively predicted PWB at Time 2, and family-to-work conflict at Time 2 negatively predicted PWB at Time 3.

Abstract. LGBT-related hate crime is a conscious act of aggression against an LGBT citizen. The present research investigates associations between hate crime, psychological well-being, trust in the police and intentions to report future experiences of hate crime. A survey study was conducted among 391 LGBT respondents in the Netherlands. Sixteen percent experienced hate crime in the 12 months prior. Compared to non-victims, victims had significant lower psychological well-being, lower trust in the police and lower intentions to report future hate crime. Hate crime experience and lower psychological well-being were associated with lower reporting intentions through lower trust in the police. Helping hate crime victims cope with psychological distress in combination with building trust in the police could positively influence future reporting.
