▼ Media and public opinion have portrayed Australian lawyers as a group rife with psychopathology and behavioural dysfunction. Despite the ubiquity of these views, empirical research on the mental health of lawyers, particularly from a well-being perspective, has been limited. This research examined both psychological distress and well-being aspects of mental health in a diverse sample of 762 Australian lawyers. In study one, the mental health of Australian lawyers was compared with population norms. The relationships between various types of psychological distress with hedonic and eudaimonic well-being was also examined. In study two, Self-Determination Theory was adopted as a critical approach to explore factors influencing lawyer mental health. Lawyers’ passion for work and the extent to which they perceived their managers to be autonomy supportive were examined in relation to well-being at work and mental health. Finally, the extent to which these relationships were mediated by the satisfaction and frustration of the basic psychological needs for autonomy, competence and relatedness was tested. As predicted, higher levels of well-being were predictive of lower levels of all types of psychological distress. Also as predicted, higher levels of harmonious passion for work was associated with reduced psychological distress and greater well-being both at work and in general. Higher levels of obsessive passion for work, was predictive of higher workplace well-being and psychological distress but was unrelated to overall well-being. Also as predicted, the extent to which lawyers experienced their managers as autonomy supportive was predictive of higher levels of well-being and lower levels of psychological distress. Mediation analysis suggested that well-being in the work domain is critical for the overall mental health of lawyers and the mechanism by which harmonious passion and manager autonomy support influence well-being at work is by satisfying basic psychological needs. These findings add important depth to previous investigations of lawyer well-being by demonstrating the important contribution of previously unexplored individual difference and environmental factors. Strategies that encourage a balanced and positive engagement with work, as well as environments that promote autonomy are most likely to reduce psychological distress and increase well-being among lawyers of all types. Whilst legal professions worldwide rally to tackle a mental health crisis, this research provides evidence for interventions that are likely to be effective at combating cultural issues and to increase flourishing.

▼ The present research sought to investigate the relationship between an individual's word choice and their social
well-
being. In the present investigation, social
well-
being is a person's social health in relation to their social environment, social network, and ability to interact with others in a social context. This thesis was based on previous research conducted from 2006-2010 (Brown, 2011), where participants ranging in ages from 18 to 54 took part in a ten week long "Psychological Assessment" research practicum. During this time period, participants were administered a battery of measures including those related to social
well-
being. These were the Rosenberg's Self-Esteem Scale (Rosenberg, 1965), The Satisfaction with Life Scale (Diener, Emmons, Larsen, & Griffin, 1985), the Stress Assessment Profile (Nowack, 1990), and the NEO-Personality Inventory-Revised (Costa & McCrae, 1980). The participants in this project also wrote an essay in response to the prompt, "Explain or describe events and experiences in your life that make you feel you are socially skilled or not." Using the Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count software program (Tauszcik & Pennebaker, 2010), word counts and word group usage was assessed within these essays. This LIWC analysis was then correlated both with measures of social
well-
being and with a measure of personality. Results indicated that higher social
well-
being was related to fewer self-references, fewer negative emotions words, and fewer anxiety words. Implications of these linguistic findings in relation to social
well-
being and personality traits are discussed.

▼ Several quantitative measures of spiritual well-being were developed with primary and secondary school students and teachers, and university education students, namely the Spiritual Health And Life-Orientation Measure, Feeling Good, Living Life, and the Quality Of Life Influences Survey. Spiritual dissonance was revealed by comparing respondents’ ‘ideals’ with ‘lived experiences’ in four domains of spiritual well-being. Teachers and university education students reported a decline in help being provided in schools to develop the relationships which foster school students’ spiritual well-being.

▼ In recent years, due to the advances in information technology and the shortening of product life cycles, innovative behavior has become an important research topic worldwide. In order to be competitive in global and their professional fields, enterprises must be able to innovate. Besides, as the rises of living level in Taiwan, in addition to using incentives and bonuses to encourage innovation, the management of employee
well-
being is a long-term plan for the organization to invest in employee innovation. In addition, due to differences in organizational culture might bring different results to employee innovation, and Taiwanese companies mostly rely on bureaucratic culture, this study decided to further examine the relationship between
well-
being, bureaucratic culture and innovative behavior.
The main purpose of this study is to explore the relation between
well-
being and employee innovative behavior, and to find among emotional
well-
being, psychological
well-
being and social
well-
being, which has the strongest influence on employee innovative behavior. Moreover, the relation between bureaucratic culture and innovative behavior, as
well as the moderating effect of bureaucratic culture is also important in this study.
The results show that emotional
well-
being(EWB), psychological
well-
being(PWB) and social
well-
being(SWB) have positive effects on innovative behaviors. In particular, SWB has the strongest effect. Furthermore, bureaucratic culture has no direct relation with innovative behavior. However, it has a positive moderating effect on EWB and innovative behavior, and there is no significant moderating effect on PWB, SWB and innovative behavior. Finally, this study will provide theoretical contributions and management implications based on the results.

The six ways to well-being (6W-WeB): A new measure of valued action that targets the frequency and motivation for six behavioural patterns that promote well-being.

▼ Evidence suggests that the presence of positive emotions and the absence of negative emotions is beneficial. However, recent research shows that direct cognitive attempts to change how we feel can be counterproductive in the long run. Contextual Behavioural Science (CBS) based interventions, such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), limit direct attempts to change emotional states, and focus instead, on activating value-consistent behaviours. However, most measures used by CBS researchers and practitioners still focus on emotional states and reductions in symptomology, which may misfocus the client. Therefore, this thesis seeks to develop a practical, reliable, and valid measure of valued activity that can be used to guide intervention. The Six Ways to Well-Being (6W-WeB) measures the following six behaviours that are theorised to promote well-being: connecting with others, challenging oneself, giving to others, engaging in physical activity, embracing the moment, and caring for oneself. In addition, the 6W-WeB assesses the frequency of, and autonomous versus controlled motivation for, each behaviour. Study 1 focuses on the initial validation of the 6W-WeB in a sample of American adults (N1 = 1800, 60.3% female, Age: M = 40.9, SD = 13.21). Study 2 replicates the factor structure in an independent, Australian adult sample (N2 = 855, 47.3% female, Age: M = 38.16, SD = 13.35), and extends the research by assessing the barriers and enablers of valued action. Study 3 further replicates the validity of the questionnaire in two adolescent samples (N3 = 518, 100% female, Age: M = 14.29, SD = 1.46 and N4 = 185, 51.38% female, Age: M = 19.56, SD = 0.72) and tests the associations of 6W-WeB with personality traits and variables theoretically linked to each of the six behaviour domains. Study 4 combines the previously mentioned samples to maximise statistical power and test the factor structure of the 6W-WeB as well as its measurement invariance across countries, age groups, genders, and levels of psychological distress. Results indicate that the factor structure of the 6W-WeB is best represented by a xiii bifactor confirmatory factor analysis (bifactor CFA) model, which consists of three global factors, namely behaviour engagement, activity importance, and activity pressure, as well as the six behavioural domain factors. This model showed good fit to the data and the items showed adequate internal consistency in all samples. Further, the findings suggest that the subscales of the 6W-WeB are linked in expected ways to theoretically-relevant measures, and that the 6W-WeB can differentiate between individuals who meet criteria for high psychological distress and those who do not. Finally, participants’ qualitative responses provided information about the specific ways through which they engage in the six behaviour domains, and the kinds of barriers that get in the way of valued action. Overall, the results indicate that the 6W-WeB may offer treatment utility for CBS practitioners, as the 6W-WeB is consistent with the…

▼ The aim of this study is to better understand age differences in
well-
being using Ryan, Huta, and Deci’s (2008) theory. According to this theory, four constructs are responsible for living a full and deeply satisfying life (i.e., eudaimonia) and experiencing pleasure and an absence of psychological pain (i.e., subjective
well-
being): (1) pursuing intrinsic goals and values, (2) behaving in autonomous ways, (3) living mindfully, and (4) behaving to satisfy the basic psychological needs for autonomy, competence and relatedness. Results indicate that aging was positively associated with the pursuit of intrinsic goals and values, autonomous behaviour, mindfulness, and mental health. Although age had a positive effect on the basic psychological need for autonomy, it had no effect on relatedness, and a negative effect on competence. The mixed influence of age on basic psychological needs may explain why older adults experienced greater levels of hedonic
well-
being but lower levels of eudaimonic
well-
being.

▼ The Saskatchewan River Delta (SRD) is the largest freshwater inland delta in North America, covering over 950 000 hectares in central Saskatchewan and Manitoba. The wetlands in the SRD provide valuable ecosystem services and support considerable biodiversity. The Opaskwayak Cree Nation (OCN) has expressed concerns regarding the loss of wildlife in the SRD, among other ecological concerns, due to anthropogenic development. Using an ethnoecological approach, the indigenous knowledge of the OCN was documented through an analysis of wetland-based practices. A variety of methods were employed in the research including participant observation, interviews, document review and verification workshops. Interviews held with community Elders also focused on the connections between a life on the land,
well-
being and cultural identity. The research revealed the need for a more holistic approach to management of the sensitive wetland ecosystems located with OCN traditional territory that reflects the changing values of the community.

▼ This dissertation is comprised of three chapters that
use microeconometric techniques to investigate the factors that
affect people’s
well-
being. In the first two chapters,
well-
being
is defined as life satisfaction or health satisfaction. The first
chapter explores how the movement from socialism to capitalism
affected the life satisfaction and health satisfaction of East
Germans relative to West Germans after reunification. The second
chapter examines whether women are happier, less happy, or equally
happy as men in countries at various stages of development. The
third chapter examines whether pollution affects the academic
performance of school children; their academic performance and
achievements will have important implications for their future
well-
being.

▼ This thesis is an ethnographic study of craftsmanship among the Lulesámi in Northern Norway. The study, which is based on an apprentice-style methodology, focuses in particular on the role and significance of making and wearing the gáppte, a characteristic Sámi dress. While the gáppte is often employed to visually define and distinguish the Sámi in relation to other people, my aim is to move beyond such a common interpretation and unfold the garment’s everyday aspects and explore how its production and use are interwoven with the Lulesámi’s emphasis and ongoing creation of personal and social
well-
being.
The chapters address, in their different ways, the three main themes of this study. The first is concerned with the various ways in which the gáppte and its use affect people’s sense of self and relations to others, and the factors influencing such diverse experiences. The second theme focuses on how the learning to make the garment, rather than involving a fixed set of skills, is based on an ongoing practical and sensuous engagement with the world. I demonstrate that novices not only learn the technical skills of producing a garment to be worn, but that they are also encouraged to develop certain social skills and virtues for living a good life. The third theme is constituted by an examination of the productive activities within the domestic sphere, which often go unnoticed as they cannot easily be seen or measured through tangible evidence, but which affirm and strengthen the making of a convivial society.
Through the analysis I draw and build on current anthropological debates on material culture by showing how craftsmanship is a self-transforming experience which encompasses a complete way of
being, traversing and merging immaterial and material realms of life. I also wish to contribute to feminist debates by drawing attention to how the ‘personal’ and ‘domestic’ are intimately intertwined with larger historical, political and social processes.

▼ Well-being is a human goal globally and has been considered so since the early days of philosophical thought. As the science of well-being has grown the last decades, well-being has widely been agreed to consist of two core components: Hedonic well-being and Eudaimonic well-being. These components have been studied to a large extent and further explored, conceptualized, and divided. How components of well-being interrelate is still being explored, as well of what drivers there are of experiencing well-being.Self-compassion is a relatively new field within psychology and cognitive neuroscience research which has been linked to components of well-being. Thus, the first aim of this study was to provide a theoretical overview of previous studies of the relationship between well-being and self-compassion. As research of self-compassion is still in its infancy, there are yet very few studies on self-compassion and its relationship to well-being in different cultures. The concept stems from East-Asian culture, and if self-compassion is important for well-being globally, or if it is depending on difference in culture, has been discussed. Hence, the second aim was to explore if there would be a potential relationship between self-compassion and well-being in a Cuban sample, as there is a lack of research in that region. 200 university students in Havana participated and filled in a questionnaire regarding subjective well-being, psychological well-being, and self-compassion. Results revealed that there was a significant relationship between well-being and self-compassion, and especially between psychological well-being and self-compassion. Components of well-being correlated with each other as well. These results go in line with previous research. Hence the present study suggests that the patterns of correlations between self-compassion and well-being is similar in Cuban university students as in other cultures studied so far.

▼ This study utilized Eudaimonic Theory (ET), an Aristotelian perspective on humanflourishing (eudaimonia), to explore new eudaimonic goal hierarchy hypotheses. The ET model distinguishes between two types of
well-
being: Eudaimonic
Well-
Being (EWB) and Hedonic
Well-
Being (HWB), and two dimensions of goal pursuit: the Communal Dimension and the Agency Dimension. HWB refers to experiencing high positive affect, low negative affect and high life satisfaction. EWB is assessed through factors such as purpose, personal growth and positive relationships giving. The Communal Dimension refers to a distinction between individual goals, which can only be pursued by one person and shared goals, which are completely collective accomplishments. The Agency Dimension refers to a distinction between Instrumental Goals, in which the means and ends are separable, and Constitutive Goals, in which means constitute the ends. This study used SEM and was the first to empirically test Agency, Communion, and
Well-
Being relationships simultaneously. Extending earlier findings, EWB related to both Instrumental and Constitutive Goal Pursuit for Interpersonal Goals; while for Individual Goals, HWB related to Instrumental and Constitutive Goal Pursuit. Shared Goal Orientation significantly related to HWB for Individual Goals but not to EWB for Interpersonal Goals. Contrary to hypothesis, Shared Goal Orientation did not augment the relationships between either Instrumental Goal Pursuit and HWB, or Constitutive Goal Pursuit and EWB. Results suggest that Agency and Communion have some additive but no multiplicative effects on
Well-
Being.

Explaining the relationship between paternal incarceration and family well-being: a mediating model using food insecurity.

▼ This dissertation explores whether families of incarcerated fathers are more likely to experience food insecurity as a result of the conviction of the father. More specifically, I test whether food insecurity explains some of the devastating consequences of paternal incarceration on mothers and children. Because children of incarcerated fathers are at higher risk of following their fathers’ footsteps, this cycle of incarceration can be self-perpetuating. I try to determine how policy can be used to break this cycle.
This dissertation examines the role of food insecurity in explaining the negative impact of paternal incarceration on the
well-
being of mothers and children. The United States has experienced a huge prison boom over the last 40 years. A growing proportion of the incarcerated population are parents. Children growing up with one or both parents missing tend to have long-lasting disadvantages. Previous studies have attempted to suggest a few mechanisms through which paternal incarceration has negative consequences for families but has not considered the role of food insecurity.
I propose a theoretical framework to show that paternal incarceration negatively affects mothers and children through food insecurity. Using a longitudinal study of fragile families, I find that food insecurity explains some of the negative consequences of paternal incarceration on maternal depression. On the other hand, food insecurity plays no role in the effect of paternal incarceration on child behavior problems. The findings also cast doubt on whether paternal incarceration affects child
well-
being.
The implications for policy are two-fold. First, reducing food insecurity would mitigate the negative effects of paternal incarceration on maternal depression. More research is needed in order to understand whether the negative effects of paternal incarceration on maternal
well-
being can be further mitigated. Second, prison reform would do little to reduce the behavior problems experienced by children of incarcerated fathers. Rather than incarceration, other factors contributing to social disadvantages could explain why children of incarcerated fathers have more behavior problems than other children.

▼ This study examined the impact of dissent and workplace freedom of speech on employees’ well-being (subjective, psychological and workplace well-being). Data for the study were collected through an online survey distributed to employees of various organizations. The findings revealed that upward dissent was positively related to subjective well-being (consisting of life satisfaction, positive affect and negative affect), psychological well-being, workplace well-being, and workplace freedom of speech. Lateral dissent was positively related to negative affect, workplace well-being and negatively related to life satisfaction and positive affect. However, there was no relationship between lateral dissent and psychological well-being. Workplace freedom of speech was positively related to psychological well-being and workplace well-being. Practical and theoretical implications are discussed.

▼ The study mainly discusses the relationship between Corporate Social responsibility and employeesâ
well-
being. Traditional profit-oriented business model is not sufficient to allow enterprises to enhance their competitiveness and achieve sustainable development vision. Enterprises should ponder on new thinking way , Whatever you take from the society; use them for the society. And build up atmosphere of employee
well-
being. A corporate should treasure elites, enhance working healthy environment, plan many benefit facility, employees working quality, mental health, safety, promote the relation between labor and employer, and increase employeesâ working and life satisfaction. In this way, employees will be willing to work harder for the company and make more business profit.
The study focuses on finding out the moderation effect of employee participation on corporate social responsibility and employee
well-
being. In this study, a multi-industry for the study, a total of 30 enterprises, and adopting authoritative questionairs of foreign and demostic scholars to test three variables of this research. The questionnaires are deliberated 420 and valid questionnaires are 396.
The study uses âSPSSâ to analyze reliability and validity and âHLMâ to analyze cross-level data. The study not only proves the relationship between CSR and employee
well-
being but also proves the variable of employee participation can moderate the relationship between CSR and employee
well-
being. According to the path analysis, the 1st and 3rd hypotheses are supported, the 4th hypotheses are partially supported, the 2nd hypotheses are not supported.
If corporate put emphasis on employeesâ willingness prior to implementing CSR, employees might attend activity voluntarily. This Virtuous cycle mode could bring positive effect for employee, enterprise, and society. Thus, it is obvious that if a corporate can donate their time and money to creating social responsibility meaningfully, the employees will behave much more positively. Besides, it is also crucial cornerstone of sustainable development of enterprises and enhancing their competitiveness.

▼ The effect of goal setting and achievement on subjective
well-
being was explored to test and extend the “Architecture of Sustainable Happiness” model (Lyubomirsky et al., 2005). Mediating factors, including personality were also considered to examine any individual specific effects.
All participants experienced three week periods of both ‘placebo control’ and ‘goal setting.’ In addition, roughly half of the participants (N=45) completed a ‘washout’ period after their initial treatment weeks in order to demonstrate any lasting effects.
Subjective
well-
being was found to significantly increase during the treatment weeks beyond the levels recorded by the control group. This enhancement was found to last to some extent during the washout period; although an unreliable variable prevents further explanation of the reasons for this. Positive affect displayed different patterns of change from the other subjective
well-
being measures throughout our investigation and recommendations for it to be considered independently are made.
During the treatment weeks neuroticism was found to have a direct influence on negative affect levels. During the same period, conscientiousness was found to predict the number of goals missed, which in turn influenced the level of life satisfaction and subjective happiness.
Support was provided for the beneficial influence of volitional intentional activities on subjective
well-
being. However the influence of personality is felt to be underestimated in Lyubomirsky et al’s model and a revision of the relative contributions to chronic levels of subjective
well-
being is suggested.

▼ Abstract
Objectives: The aim of this study was to test Lyubomirsky et al’s (2005) theory of “sustainable happiness” by using volitional intentional activities to predict increases in subjective
well-
being (SWB), and additionally, considering whether certain personalities, motivation or goal behaviour contributed to changes in happiness.
Method: 78 participants were tested over 9 weeks (6 weeks first semester, 3 weeks second semester). Participants took part in both the experimental condition where they were instructed to set goals, and the placebo group where were allocated set activities to complete each week. Personality was measured using the NEO Five Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI; Costa & McCrae, 1992). SWB levels were measured each week using the Satisfaction with Life Scales (SWLS; Diener et al. 1985), Subjective Happiness Scales (SHS; Lyubomirsky & Lepper, 1999) and the Positive Affect Negative Affect Scales (PANAS; Watson et al, 1988). The analysis of data included correlations, analysis of variances and regressions.
Results: Overall SWB increased and negative affect decreased during the experimental conditions. There were no effects for positive affect. Personality had modest influences on SWB, with conscientiousness showing to influence SWB indirectly by predicting the number of goals achieved. SWB increases did not persist throughout the washout period.
Conclusions: Lyubomirsky et al’s (2005) theory of sustainable happiness was partially supported as the results showed increases in SWB. Personality and other individual behaviours had small influences on intentional activities and SWB. Future research is advised to modify the model by improving the individual behaviour measurements and perhaps testing the model on participants who have SWB levels below average. Furthermore there is the suggestion that individuals should gain a better understanding of themselves to ensure their personalities are concordant with their goals, in order to produce a greater effect of increased SWB.

▼ Waiting for uncertain news is a common experience that many people find uncomfortable. People experience negative affect, anxiety, and rumination, and they employ a variety of strategies to manage this distress. Awe is a moral emotion we feel when we are confronted with something vast beyond our comprehension that requires a perspective shift in order to accommodate the new experience, and research has confirmed that awe increases both well-being and patience (Rudd, Vohs, & Aaker, 2012), making it a good candidate for an intervention to reduce the negative affect, anxiety, and rumination typically associated with difficult waiting periods. I conducted three studies to test the effect of awe on distress during uncertain waiting periods. Study 1 (N = 89) examined the relationship between trait awe and discomfort and strategy selection as participants awaited feedback on what they believed was a novel intelligence test. Building on Study 1, Studies 2 and 3 examined the effect of an awe induction, compared to positive and neutral controls, on discomfort and strategy use in two different uncertain waiting periods: In Study 2 (N = 324), participants waited for feedback on the same intelligence test used in Study 1, and in Study 3 (N = 399) participants waited for interpersonal feedback from peers after a group interaction. Across the three studies, I found partial support for a relationship between trait awe and distress and the use of uncertainty navigation strategies. Experiencing awe offered a consistent reduction in negative affect and anxiety during an uncertain waiting period but did not have a reliable effect on the strategies that people employ to manage their feelings of uncertainty. Instead, strategy selection was primarily driven by temporal proximity to feedback. Thus, awe emerged as a unique and reliable means of reducing distress during an uncertain waiting period, and these benefits were not contingent on a predisposition to experiencing awe daily life.

Differing Levels of Self-Reported Dispositional
Mindfulness in Relation to the Reported Well-Being of Professionals

▼ In recent years, mindfulness has become popularised
due to its perceived effectiveness in different areas of life. Most
of the recent literature in regards to mindfulness however, has
been after training programmes to cultivate it as a skill, while
assessment of its effectiveness in different life domains has been
completed using quantitative measures. The purpose of this research
was to approach the area of mindfulness from a humanistic stance,
and to not teach or do anything to the person but rather research
the person for whom they already are, focusing on a dispositional
personal strength; mindfulness. Professionals working within
oncology were chosen as a population, because even though the
experiences of cancer sufferers has been extensively researched,
the experience of their carers has been somewhat neglected. I
wanted to listen to their perceived
well-
being, based on their own
constructs and experiences, in relation to different perspectives
of self-reported mindfulness. Self reported levels of mindfulness
were assessed in staff working within a private cancer hospital
using the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale. Maximum variation
sampling was used to obtain both the higher and lower perspective
levels of mindfulness. Due to a relatively low response rate, six
individuals were asked to attend an interview - the three highest
and three lowest scorers. Using a semi-structured interview in a
qualitative methodology, questions were asked to generate
experiences of
well-
being from individuals. Five themes were found
after analysing the corpus of data using Thematic Analysis. The
main themes that were identified in relation to
well-
being at work
were; 'individual impact of working within oncology', 'patient
relationships', 'staff relationships', 'transition from home to
work', and 'environmental responses'. In presenting these themes it
emerged that there were a wide range of views in regards to
well-
being. Different participants reported both positive and
negative affects at work, particularly in relation to the impact of
the deterioration of patients. Potentially, those participants who
reported higher levels of perceived mindfulness experienced
well-
being more positively. Potentially, stronger relationships
with both patients and colleagues were also had by those same
participants, who interestingly, were less affected by work in
their home life. They also potentially showed more resilience at
work in
being able to cope more effectively within the busy
environment that was described. However, all participants described
job enjoyment. Conclusions were drawn: Relationships are important
with both patients and members of staff. A healthy work-life
balance is also important. Mindfulness may aid the experience of
well-
being when working within oncology. Implications were
presented in relation to mindfulness, Oncology and Counselling
Psychology, with the potential for this research showing the
effectiveness of mindfulness in its un-fabricated form in a
naturalistic setting.

Prosociality and Well-Being in Young People.

▼ A thesis submitted to the University of Manchester
for the degree of Doctor of Clinical PsychologyCandidate: Peter
James TaylorTitle: Prosociality and
Well-
Being in Young PeopleJune
2013Prosociality describes the tendency to engage in behaviours
that aim to enhance or maintain the
well-
being of others, for
example, sharing and co-operating. In children and adolescents this
trait is often viewed as a core aspect of social competence and an
important developmental outcome. Prosociality may also play an
important role in how young people navigate their increasingly
complex social world. This raises the question of whether
individual differences in prosociality are related to young
peoples’
well-
being, such as their risk of developing psychological
problems. The goal of the current series of research was to explore
this question.A series of four studies was designed to answer this
question. This research made use of pre-existing survey data,
including the “mental health of children and young people in Great
Britain, 2004” survey (Papers 3 & 4) and the “Understanding
Society” survey (Paper 2), enabling access to large sample sizes.
In Paper 1, a meta-analysis was undertaken to determine the nature
of the relationship between prosociality and two important clinical
outcomes, internalizing disorder and low self-esteem. This review
identified a significant but small relationship between greater
prosociality and reduced internalizing disorder or low self-esteem.
In Paper 2, a longitudinal study explored the relationship between
prosociality and
well-
being over a 1-year-period in children and
adolescents. This study did not identify any prospective effect of
prosociality upon subsequent changes in
well-
being. Two further
studies explored the factors that may influence whether
prosociality is linked to
well-
being. In Paper 3 the possibility
that existing measures of prosociality may partly account for the
small or null relationships observed so far (Papers 1 & 2) was
explored by developing and validating a new measure of
prosociality. This new measure appeared psychometrically robust and
demonstrated advantages over pre-existing scales of prosociality.
In Paper 4, a cross-sectional study was undertaken to explore
whether the discrepancy in young peoples’ self-ratings and parental
ratings of prosociality has a relationship with emotional problems
(i.e., depression and anxiety). A moderator analysis found that
self-rated and parent-rated prosociality may interact to determine
risk of psychological problems in young people. This study
suggested that the discrepancy in ratings of prosociality may be
more important in predicting psychological problems than overall
ratings by individual informants.Results support the relevance of
prosociality to
well-
being in young people and highlight how
factors such as the measurement of prosociality and the
interpersonal context within which it occurs impact upon this
relationship.

▼ Does positivity toward and the pursuit of material goods lead to unhappiness? There is an extensive body of work confirming historical, religious, and cultural assumptions that endorsing materialistic attitudes is associated with a number of negative psychological outcomes, (e.g., Kasser & Ryan, Richins & Dawson, 1992; Christopher & Schlenker, 2004). These studies are highly cited and have led many researchers to claim that materialism causes unhappiness (e.g. Gurel-Atay, Sirgy, Cici & Husic, 2009; Kasser, 2002; Polak, & McCullough, 2007). However, in the present investigation, I will argue that this conclusion cannot be made based on the current empirical evidence, largely due to the correlational nature of the research, as
well as confounds in both measures of materialism and
well-
being with socially desirable responding. Across nine studies, I will explore 1) alternative ways of investigating materialism and
well-
being via implicit methods 2) a new scale measuring intrinsic and extrinsic motives behind the pursuit of material goods and 3) how material goods can be used to promote emotion and pain regulation under stressful situations. I will argue that the results of these studies indicate that materialism does not independently predict nor cause negative outcomes, there can be intrinsic and flourishing ways of pursuing material goods, and material goods can help us to recover from unpleasant emotional and physically painful experiences.

▼ It has been suggested that depression and anxiety may not be distinct, but may represent one 'Internalizing' disorder (Waikar & Craske, 1997). Based on neuropsychological models, Fowles (1994) and others have suggested that depression is uniquely associated with high avoidance and low approach motivation, whereas anxiety is characterised by high avoidance motivation. To test this theory studies have examined whether depressed individuals pursue fewer approach and more avoidance goals than those who are not depressed, however results have been equivocal (Dickson & MacLeod, 2006; Vergara & Roberts, 2011). These inconsistencies may have been because participants' underlying goal-motivations were not extrapolated. Sherratt and MacLeod (2013) compared depressed and non-depressed groups and found that the expected patterns were only apparent when individuals' underlying reasons for adopting goals were examined. The present study replicated and extended Sherratt and MacLeod's study with adolescents and examined how underlying goal-motivation and self-concordance correlated with measures of Psychological Well-Being (PWB). A school sample of 240 adolescents between 16-18 years was recruited. Participants generated as many idiographic approach and avoidance goals that they could think of. They were then asked to describe the reasons they had for adopting these goals, which were independently classified as approach, maintenance or avoidance. Self-report measures of depression, anxiety, PWB and self-concordance were also administered. As predicted, anxiety was positively correlated with more avoidance goals and underlying avoidance reasons (for avoidance goals). However, depression was not associated with distinct approach and avoidance motivational response patterns at either the level of stated goals or underlying reason. Self-Acceptance was significantly negatively correlated with avoidance motivation (for avoidance goals), and positively correlated with the number of 'most important' approach reasons. There was a significant positive relationship between PWB and self-concordance and a negative correlation between anxiety and self-concordance. The findings further reinforce the importance of avoidance motivation in anxiety, but fail to support the link between low approach motivation and depression that has been reported in adults.

▼ The aim of this study was to further investigate the relationship between religion and
well-
being using discourse analysis. Most of the previous literature on this topic is in the form of quantitative self report questionnaires. These studies often use different definitions and criteria for religiosity, shifting in their emphasis between behaviours and beliefs, such as church attendance and personal prayer. Many different aspects of
well-
being have also been examined, including physical health, stress, life satisfaction and mental health. Due to the scope of definitions of religion and the range of
well-
being aspects looked at, there was some conflict between findings. It seemed logical to undertake a qualitative study using a semi-structured interview in order to better understand the mechanisms behind this relationship and allow participants to tell us their thoughts in their own words. By looking into the constructions and techniques used by participants we might better understand how people respond to such questions. In the first part of the interview we addressed the participants’ religiosity, their practices, beliefs and background. In the second part we addressed the relationship between religion and
well-
being in terms of social support, life crises, consolation of prayer and life purpose. There were twelve participants and interviews lasted between ten and forty minutes. Participants showed some interesting patterns in how they approached questions on religiosity and its relationship with
well-
being. A disparity involving the social support of the church arose between the older and younger participants. Overall, this study adds some interesting insight into how research into this
subject area may be approached by people and highlights some new areas to be taken into consideration in the future.

▼ Research on Self-Determination Theory suggests that the pursuit of extrinsic aspirations (e.g. to be rich) can have negative consequences on
well-
being. Yet little research has examined whether holding extrinsic aspiration for other people evidences similar relationships. The current research examined how holding extrinsic aspirations for one’s children (AFC) is related to parents’ own psychological
well-
being. I expected endorsing extrinsic AFC might also bear negatively predict parental psychological
well-
being. However, I contended that the strength of relationship might vary according to interdependent self-construal. To the extent people’s self-construal is interdependent, they might attach different meaning to extrinsic AFC (e.g. as a way to be responsible and competent parents). These additional meaning could neutralize or even reverse its negative implication over parental psychological
well-
being.
Two studies (one within-culture and one cross-cultural) were designed to test these hypotheses. Parent participants completed individual difference measure of self-construal, extrinsic AFC and parental psychological
well-
being. The results generally confirmed the hypotheses.

▼ Financial
well-
being is likely a factor in many individual’s utility function. Financial wellness can be measured using objective measures as
well as subjective perceptions. In the first two essays, objective measures are compared to subjective perceptions to see if there is a relationship between the two. Three financial ratios, including the liquidity ratio, the debt-to-asset ratio, and the investment ratio, are used as objective measures of financial wellness. Subjective perceptions are measured by a question that asks respondents how satisfied they are with their financial condition. The first essay analyzes at older Americans using the Health and Retirement Study. The second essay analyzes early-to-mid-career Americans using the Panel Study of Income Dynamics. The findings in this analysis suggest that there is a statistically and economically significant relationship between the investment ratio and individuals perceptions of financial satisfaction, particularly for older individuals. Financial ratios only play a small but important role in the overall financial situation.
The goal of the third study is to analyze the relationship between objective measures of financial knowledge and individuals’ perceptions of their own financial knowledge. In addition, this paper looks at how perceptions of financial knowledge change over time. The focus of this paper is emerging adults who attend college and then transition into careers after college. The data for this study are from the Arizona Pathways to Life Success for University Students (APLUS) survey. The findings of this research suggest a positive correlation between objective measures and perceptions of financial wellness. College seniors in this study have a higher probability of perceiving themselves as financially knowledgeable compared to when they were in their first year of college. However, these same college seniors perceive themselves as more financially literate then they do 2 and 5 years after college. This study highlights the importance of financial education during college. It also shows that individuals are likely to perceive themselves as more financially literate than they are.

▼ M.A.
All children especially adolescents need to feel socially and emotionally supported in every part of their lives for them to have psychosocial well being. This well being includes many different aspects such as physical, material, psychological, and social aspects. Researchers agree that adolescent stage has many challenges of growing up; they need supportive ways of coping and developing. As they grow, high school learners need friendships with same age peers and to be members of formal cultural institutions including educational, play, social and/ or religious groups. The school as an environment where children spend most part of their time needs to have formal and informal support systems that may serve as a tool in ensuring that learner’ copes with the emotional challenges experienced in this stage for optimal social and learning experience. The purpose of this study was to answer research questions on what contributes to the perceptions of adequate social support in a school environment. Which social support systems contribute most to the perceptions of adequate social support? What role does the teacher play in providing social support at school? Would the services of school social worker contribute in anyway to how learners perceive school environment? The concept of social support was described as a key concept of measurement by means of literature study. A questionnaire was designed and utilized to collect data on perceptions regarding social support in the school environment. Data was then analysed to determine whether formal support systems would promote the development of social networks in the community. It became clear from the research findings that high school learners have emotional challenges that needs the attention of a professional person which are non existent in Vosloorus high schools. It was also discovered that learners are unable share their problems in school as the environment is not conducive for them to do so. It also became evident that learners tend to depend on social networks for support in the absence of busy parents. Although the learners felt physically supported, they are lacking emotional and mental wellbeing. The main recommendation of the study is that social support for learners should be supported and mainstreamed in the curriculum to reach majority of learners with emotional, physical, psychological and social needs.

Mapping the Web of Landscape Aesthetics: A critical Study of Theoretical Perspectives in Light of Environmental Sustainability.

▼ The main idea of this dissertation lies in a critical study of existing theoretical positions of landscape aesthetics under the broad topic of “Environmental Sustainability.†Despite its intrinsically experiential and potentially aesthetic nature, landscape as aesthetic experience has been largely neglected as a
subject matter because of its complex interdisciplinary nature and the conceptual deficiency that surrounds this topic. This recognition led to an attempt to articulate the theoretical premises, conceptual frameworks, methodological characteristics and implications of these positions as
well as their relationships with one another through analysis, evaluation, and suggestion of alternatives.
The study intends to make a series of arguments to support the following propositions:
1) Aesthetic meanings and values of landscape can have a shared structure with other human beings in terms of their psychological, biological, and ecological
well-
being, 2) Landscape aesthetics integrates and intersects three modes of
well-
being: the evolutionary, the existential, and the holistic, and 3) Landscape aesthetics fosters our moral attitude toward environmental sustainability.
The strategic focus of the arguments is on underscoring the potential as
well as the impediments of existing theories to contribute to an existential, holistic, and evolutionary view of aesthetics, liberated from a too narrow focus on anthropocentric values and moving toward re-discovering them in a new light that articulates human universals a desire for eco-centric
well-
being in place in our relationship to landscape as a paradigm for environmental sustainability.
The expected contribution to knowledge is 1) To establish a useful framework for conceptual thinking about landscape and its complex value system, 2) To identify criteria for sustainable cultural, ecological, and social qualities and values, and 3) To identify features and manifestations of an “aesthetic†landscape as a primary motivating force toward a “sustainable†landscape: beauty engendering duty.

▼ I sought to contribute to the understanding of positive health, in particular savoring and wellbeing, by conducting concurrent and longitudinal studies with adolescents and adults. The thesis begins with a review of the literature including savoring theory (Bryant & Veroff, 2007) and the broaden-and-build theory of positive emotions (Fredrickson, 2001); these theories led to the key expectations that the psychometric structure of everyday savoring would be similar for adolescents and adults, and that amplifying savoring would positively predict wellbeing. Data obtained from two surveys, a paper-and-pencil survey with New Zealand adolescents (13 to 15 years old) and an internet-based survey with international adults (16 to 88 years old), were investigated in four studies across four empirical chapters (Chapters 2 through 5).
Study 1 (Chapter 2) explored the similarities and differences in the psychometric structure of an abridged Ways of Savoring Checklist, labelled everyday savoring, between adolescents (N = 463) and adults (N = 980), as
well as mean group differences in adolescents' and adults' degree of savoring. Study 2 (Chapter 3) investigated the concurrent relationships between adolescent and adult everyday savoring and hedonic and eudaimonic wellbeing as
well as the ability of savoring to moderate wellbeing. Then, Study 3 and Study 4 investigated the relationships between savoring and wellbeing across time for adolescents (N = 265; Study 3, Chapter 4) and adults (N = 1858; Study 4, Chapter 5), including savoring as a mediator of the relationship between everyday positive events and wellbeing (Chapter 4), and orientations to happiness as a moderator of savoring and everyday positive events (Chapter 5).
Results indicated that adolescents and adults yielded a similar four-factor structure of everyday savoring: dampening ("I don‘t deserve it"), low arousal ("I tried to slow down"), high arousal ("I jumped up and down"), and self-focus ("I reminded myself how lucky I was") savoring strategies, which proved to be invariant across time. The adolescent group, however, manifested a stronger association between amplifying (i.e. low arousal, high arousal, and self-focused savoring) and dampening savoring. Adolescents also reported higher levels of dampening compared to the adult group, whereas adults reported higher amplifying than adolescents. As expected, high arousal and self-focused savoring were positively, and dampening was negatively, associated with wellbeing indicators for adolescents and adults. However, low arousal savoring was negatively associated with hedonia for adolescents, but positively associated with eudaimonia for adults. The longitudinal analyses indicated that amplifying savoring predicted increases in wellbeing whereas dampening savoring predicted decreases in wellbeing for both age groups. The direction of effect, however, was not always as expected, questioning
general assumptions of savoring theory and the broaden-and-build theory of positive emotions. These exceptions are most noted and…

▼ This thesis presents three empirical studies examining the relations between religious sentiment and psychological outcomes over the course of adolescence. Although there are numerous theories of religious development, and many studies have found positive relations between religious sentiment and psychological outcomes, comparatively little research has focused on the adolescent years, especially longitudinally. This is surprising, given that adolescence is the period of the lifespan where the most significant changes to religious sentiment occur. The sample consisted of approximately 2000 high school students participating in the Australian Character Study (ACS) over a four-year period.
Study 1 focused on obtaining an understanding of the ways in which belief in God was related to psychological functioning at time 1 (grade 8). Three groups (mean age = 13.92 years; 946 males, 979 females) were compared according to belief in God (believer, agnostic, atheists), on positive, social, and negative outcomes, using a profile analysis. On almost all outcomes, believers were found to have improved psychological functioning compared to agnostics, who in turn, tended to outscore atheists. The profile analysis also revealed that groups had distinctive psychological profiles, with believers’ profiles distinguished by elevated subjective well-being and parental support; and atheists’ by low affective empathy and high antisocial behaviour. The findings of this study provided the basis for the questions explored in studies 2 and 3.
Study 2 further explored relations between belief in God and outcomes examined in study 1, by repeating analyses for the proceeding 3 years. Results indicated that the three groups’ profiles remained distinctive over time, but that grade 11 profiles significantly diverged from previous years for all 3 groups. Differences between the groups also widened by grade 11, with believers’ functioning found to improve over time, and atheists having more impaired functioning over time. Unlike study 1 however, all differences between groups in grades 10 and 11 were removed after controlling for parental support. This indicates that improved functioning amongst older religious adolescents is likely related to parental support.
Study 3 adopted a growth mixture model approach to identify individual differences in trajectories of religious values from grade 8 to grade 11. Overall religiousness was found to decline, and 4 unique trajectories of religious values were identified: High (steep decline), Average, Low (average decline), and Low (stable). Relative to the Average class, increased parental support in grade 8 predicted an increased likelihood of having high religious values with a sharp decline and a reduced likelihood of being in the classes with religious values below the average: Low (average decline) and Low (stable). Members of the High and Average classes were found to be more likely to have improved well-being in grade 11. These findings are suggestive of the need to account for…

▼ Aotearoa New Zealand is a society with inequality deeply embedded in its culture, and this translates to the health of vulnerable members of the community. In its current state, healthcare infrastructure and rehabilitative landscapes are isolated from one another, creating physical and mental barriers for achieving
well-
being. Therapeutic landscape research suggests outdoor spaces can facilitate rehabilitative healing, community support, and self-empowerment. This form of preventive and rehabilitative health may bridge the gap between treatment at the institutional level, and day-to-day living, to better support the
well-
being, of people in transition.
The under-utilized interface between the residential landscape and Kenepuru Community Hospital in Porirua is used as a design case study, for testing how hospital infrastructure, residential housing, and therapeutic landscapes may coexist for mutually beneficial health and
well-
being outcomes. Results suggest that careful design of the interstitial spaces bridging housing with healthcare can form an important service for the
well-
being of vulnerable people.

▼ The term workaholism, patterned after the word alcoholism, first appeared in a book by Oates (1971) in which he described workaholism as a compulsive or uncontrollable need to work incessantly, resulting in negative consequences. Research has yielded mixed results in relation to the impact workaholism can have on people’s lives. Some authors view workaholism in positive terms (Machlowitz, 1980), while others view it in negative terms (Robinson, 1998). This study focused on the relationship between workaholism and health and
well-
being. An online, self report questionnaire, which included the Workaholism Battery (Spence & Robbins, 1992), was completed by 136 employees throughout New Zealand. Additional measures included work→family conflict, family→work conflict, family satisfaction, anxiety/depression, social dysfunction, positive psychological
well-
being, negative psychological
well-
being and physical health symptoms. Participants were classified into one of six groups, consisting of the enthusiastic workaholics, unenthusiastic workaholics, unengaged workers, disenchanted workers, work enthusiasts and relaxed workers. The unenthusiastic workaholics and the enthusiastic workaholics made up the “workaholic” group, and the unengaged workers, disenchanted workers, work enthusiasts and relaxed workers made up the “non-workaholic” group. The main finding of this study was that there were few differences between workaholics and non-workaholics in relation to family→work conflict, family satisfaction, positive psychological
well-
being, negative psychological
well-
being, anxiety/depression, social dysfunction and physical health symptoms. The only difference between the workaholics and non-workaholics was that enthusiastic workaholics reported significantly higher levels of work→family conflict compared to relaxed workers. Another important finding of this study was that different types of workaholics reported significantly different levels of psychological
well-
being. Unenthusiastic workaholics reported significantly lower levels of positive psychological
well-
being, and significantly higher levels of negative psychological
well-
being compared to the enthusiastic workaholics. These results suggest that, with the exception of the comparatively low levels of psychological
well-
being the unenthusiastic workaholics reported in relation to the enthusiastic workaholics, workaholism may not be as harmful as previously thought. They also provide support for the continued differentiation of multiple types of workaholics, as the unenthusiastic workaholics and the enthusiastic workaholics differed significantly on their reported levels of psychological
well-
being. Having an excessive drive to work was significantly associated with poor health and
well-
being, whereas enjoyment of work was associated significantly with high positive levels of health and
well-
being. Work involvement was much more inconsistently related to health and
well-
being. On this basis, it may be inferred that excessive drive to work may be the harmful element in…
