ResumenLos datos estadísticos y algunos estudios nos plantean la relevancia del problema del fracaso escolar en España, los porcentajes de abandono temprano son preocupantes. Este fracaso escolar se relaciona con la no adquisición de un aprendizaje significativo debido a las dificultades en el aprendizaje, a las relaciones con sus compañeros, a la escasa comprensión lectora, etc.: estos generan percepciones erróneas y emociones negativas que influyen en el rendimiento escolar. Por ello, es importante evaluar la relación entre los diferentes aspectos que nos permitan fomentar el aprendizaje de habilidades sociales de forma preventiva.En esta investigación hemos utilizado un modelo relacional entre la percepción y el rendimiento en la asignatura ciencias de la naturaleza y las habilidades sociales de toma de conciencia y control emocional, conversacionales, la cooperación y ayuda mediante el trabajo, las relacionadas con la defensa de los propios derechos, las socio - emocionales y de vida y bienestar subjetivo como mejora de la calidad de vida. La muestra de la investigación es de 445 estudiantes de los cursos de tercero a sexto de Primaria de varios centros educativos. Los resultados obtenidos nos muestran que existe significatividad entre la percepción y las habilidades socio - emocionales con respecto al rendimiento y, por lo tanto, se comprueba el impulso motivacional en el rendimiento si mejoramos la percepción mediante dichas habilidades socio – emocionales y el desarrollo en el aula de programas y metodologías activas, como aprendizaje cooperativo y mindfulness, que mejoren el aprendizaje y reduzcan los conflictos en el aula.AbstractThe statistical data and some studies raise the relevance of the problem of school failure in Spain, the percentages of early abandonment are worrisome. This school failure is related to the lack of acquisition of significant learning due to difficulties in learning, relationships with peers, insufficient reading comprehension, …; these generate erroneous perceptions and negative emotions that influence school performance. Therefore, it is important to evaluate the relationship between the different aspects that allow us to promote the learning of social skills in a preventive manner.In this research we have used a relational model between perception and performance in the subject natural sciences and social skills of consciousness and emotional control, conversational, cooperation and help through work, those related to the defense of own rights, socio-emotional and life and subjective well-being as improvement of the quality of life. The sample of the research is 447 students from the third to sixth year Primary courses from several educational centers. The results obtained show us that there is significance between perception and socio-emotional skills with respect to performance and, therefore, the motivational impulse in performance is proven if we improve perception through these socio-emotional skills and the development in the classroom of programs and active methodologies, as cooperative learning and mindfulness, that improve learning and reduce conflicts in the classroom.

Participants attending a festival(s) with children is a family activity that influences family relationships. This study examines the relationship between attending status (e.g., with or without children), event experience, subjective well-being, and family quality of life (FQOL). A total of 585 festival participants’ data analyzed by structural equation modeling (SEM) revealed that participants attending with children have a higher level of subjective well-being and FQOL compared to those without children. Participants attending with children have a higher level of cognitive engagement and experience novelty in festivals compared to those without children. Event experience results in a significant positive relationship with subjective well-being. This study expands current event literature in terms of FQOL and provides a practical guideline to event organizers to better understand the significance of festivals.

Abstract Data from N = 111 centenarians (M = 100.88; SD = 1.48) residing in Oklahoma was used to examine patterns in the relationship between the God oriented vs. non-God oriented longevity secrets and subjective well-being. Observational Oriented Modeling (OOM) was then used to conduct an ordinal analysis using concatenated ordering to produce degree of fitness between data and underlying patterns in life satisfaction and purpose-in-life across three time points. OOM is a data analysis method used to evaluate fitness of proposed patterns to data called PCC. Results indicated that centenarians maintaining a God-oriented longevity secret fit a decreased pattern in life satisfaction (PCC = 25.00, c-value = .09); whereas centenarians not maintaining a God-oriented longevity secret fit the same pattern (PCC = 49.18, c-value = .06). Meanwhile, centenarians having a God-oriented longevity secret fit a decreased pattern of purpose-in-life (PCC = 71.43, c-value =.12); whereas centenarians having a non-God oriented longevity secret fit the same pattern (PCC = 53.45, c-value = .28). In comparison to centenarians who acknowledged something other than God as the secret to their longevity, those who cite God as the reason for longevity tend to proportionately maintain a more satisfying view of life, yet experience a deteriorating sense of purpose over time. Results indicate that longevity secrets reflect divergent patterns in subjective well-being among persons living beyond 100 years. This has implications relative to how geriatric practitioners design interventions, services, or programs to enhance quality-of-life for long-lived adults.

Using egocentric network data from the University of California Social Networks Study (1,136 respondents; 11,536 alters), this study examines how difficult ties—an unexplored form of social negativity—are associated with well-being. Findings show that well-being is affected by the quality of the relationship rather than its presence in the network. Having a nondifficult partner is associated with lower loneliness compared to having no partner, but having no partner and having a difficult partner are related to similar levels of loneliness. Likewise, having difficult adult children and having no adult children are associated with reporting greater psychological distress than having nondifficult adult children. Consistent with the stress process model, the negative association of a difficult partner with well-being is buffered when that partner is otherwise supportive and when the other ties in the network are supportive. However, that association is amplified when the other ties are also difficult.

In the long run economic growth does not improve people's well-being. Traditional theories – adaptation and social comparisons – explain this evidence, but they don't explain what shapes the trend of subjective well-being and its differences across countries. Recent research identified in social capital a plausible candidate to explain the trends of well-being. This dissertation adopts various econometric techniques to explore the relationship over time among social capital, economic growth and subjective well-being. The main conclusion is that social capital is a good predictor of the trend of subjective well-being, both within and across countries. Hence, policies for well-being should aim at preserving and enhancing social capital for the quality of the social environment matters.

This study was conducted in order to verify the role of social support and coping strategies as moderators of the relationship between perceived stress and the subjective well-being of transgender people, which is lower than cisgenders’ people. 355 people took part in this study (124 transgender people and 231 cisgender people) between age of 18 and 53. Subjective well-being has been operationalized using the Satisfaction With life Scale SWLS. Measurement of the perceived stress was made using the Perceived Stress Scale PSS-10. Coping strategies were examined using the Mini-COPE inventory. Additionally, two subscales of the Berlin Social Support Scales BSSS were used to measure received and perceived social support. Transgender people scored on the SWB scale significantly lower than cisgender people. Received and perceived social support did not turn out to be a significant moderators of the relationship between perceived stress and the subjective well-being. Only one of the coping strategies turned out to be an significant moderator of this relationship – venting of emotions. Key words: transgenderism, perceived stress, quality of life, social support, coping strategies

This article explores the relationship between time and well-being as a social policy question. Although the research on time and well-being is extensive, few have dealt with them together from a comparative institutional perspective. Based on data from the third European Quality of Life Survey (EQLS) of 2012, regarding 34 mostly European countries, in different welfare regimes, we explore two issues: (1) What are the effects of welfare regimes on the uses of time and subjective well-being? and (2) What are the effects of different uses of time on subjective well-being? We find that the institutional structure – the welfare regime – affects the way people use their time. Furthermore, the findings documented that uses of time have a direct effect on well-being when controlling for individual level as well as country-level variables. These findings may have important implications for policymaking.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the effects of empowering leadership at the team level on employees’ subjective well-being (SWB) and work performance through perceived social support. Based on social exchange theory (Blau, 1964), the study identifies the mediating effects of perceived social support in the relationship between empowering leadership and both employees’ well-being and work performance. Design/methodology/approach The study utilized a survey of 1,225 employees working for an organization in South Korea and archival data of the organization. It employed hierarchical linear modeling analyses and the CWC(M) procedure for the tests of multilevel mediation. Findings It was observed that perceived organizational support (POS) and co-worker support (PCS) mediated the relationship between empowering leadership and SWB, but not the relationship between empowering leadership and performance. There was a significant direct effect of empowering leadership on both POS and PCS, which subsequently led to improved work performance. Originality/value Taking a multilevel approach to leadership and relying on both self-reported and organizational archival data, this study contributes to the literature on leadership and well-being by examining the relationships between empowering leadership toward a team and team members’ well-being and performance, and by revealing the crucial mechanisms that underlie them. The study helps to elucidate the impact of empowering leadership on employee SWB, which has largely been neglected in prior management research.
