Full textAbstract:
Identifying how subjective well-being is based on the perceptions of children with ADHD itself and to find out what aspects show children with ADHD are feeling their well-being and what aspects show children with ADHD have not developed their well-being its important to be known. The child's voice is important and is the most accurate data in showing what the child feels themselves include about their subjective wellbeing. Case study qualitative research methods by interview with a sample of 44 children comprising 3 females, 41 males (age 8-12). Data analysis was using thematic analysis with NVIVO 12. The results indicate that children with ADHD in general, in their lives, are already having their well-being and some are not. In general the factors that make children with ADHD feel their well-being or not, include about capable do something, when get what they want, and have positive/ negative relationships with the people around them. It is important to pay attention to the subjective well-being children with ADHD, it is hoped that teachers, parents, and government can further optimize their respective roles and collaborate with each other to jointly pay attention to children's well-being with various strategies and policies.

Full textAbstract:
In this paper we discuss the ethics of genetics-based talent identification programs in sports. We discuss the validity and reliability of the tests and the claims made by direct to consumer companies, before presenting a range of ethical issues concerning child-parent/guardian relations raised by these tests, which we frame in terms of parental/guardian duties, children's rights, and best interests. We argue that greater ethical emphasis needs to be put on the parental decision on the wellbeing on the child going forward, not on ex post justifications on the basis of good and bad consequences. Best interests decisions made by a third party seem to comprise both subjective and objective elements, but only a holistic approach can do justice to these questions by addressing the wellbeing of the child in a temporal manner and taking into account the child's perspective on its wellbeing. Such decisions must address wider questions of what a good (sports)parent ought do to help the child flourish and how to balance the future-adult focus necessary to nurture talent with the wellbeing of the child in the present. We conclude that current genetic tests for “talent” do not predict aptitude or success to any significant degree and are therefore only marginally pertinent for talent identification. Claims that go beyond current science are culpable and attempt to exploit widespread but naïve perceptions of the efficacy of genetics information to predict athletic futures. Sports physicians and health care professionals involved in sport medicine should therefore discourage the use of these tests.

The article reports initial results of children’s subjective wellbeing survey in Pakistan. The survey was carried out in Rawalpindi and Islamabad, Pakistan. A total of 3600 children, within the age group 8 to 12 years, took part in the survey. This research is a sequel of the International Survey of Children’s Wellbeing (ISCWeB) dealing with children’s perceptions regarding their wellbeing. It encompasses the views of children about their family, peer relation, safety, agency, economic conditions and education. Moreover, it investigated their level of satisfaction with themselves, thus focusing on their overall well-being. The researcher found that children are highly satisfied with their lives. Among the three age categories, the highest level of satisfaction was showed by the eight years old age group, within that girls have higher results in comparison with boys. However, the lowest results were seen among children of twelve years old. Furthermore, no significant differences were seen in the wellbeing of children based on the area they live in. Nonetheless, a slightly higher satisfaction was observed among the children living in rural areas.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Parent-child tie is important for parental later life due to insufficient old-age support in developing contexts. Parents often anticipate they would share the returns of children’s education for their early period investment. Previous studies show that adult children’s education is positively associated with parents’ survival and physical health in both low- and middle-income countries. What’s less discussed in literatures is the effect of adult children’s education on parental subjective wellbeing. Drawing the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS), this study intends to explore the effect of adult children’s education attainment on parents’ life satisfaction. This study uses information from baseline wave in 2011 and latest wave in 2015 of CHARLS. The analytic sample restricts to adult children aged between 25 and 49 with the highest education among all children of a parent who are aged between 50 and 84. To handle the reversed causality, this study adopts lagged effect model and controls for baseline subjective wellbeing. Instrumental variables (IV) are also used to handle the endogeneity issue existing between children’s education and parental wellbeing to conclude a causal effect. The preliminary results without IV reveal that association between children’s schooling years and parents’ life satisfaction is non-linear. However, results with IV show that adult children’s schooling years are negative associated with parents’ life satisfaction. This study firstly draws attention on negative sides of children’s education attainment on parental subjective wellbeing which implies more studies to unfold the mechanisms underlying the association.

The present study has been designed to examine the Children’s care and wellbeing in institutional setting. A well-designed interview schedule was used to gather the information from children and a scale to gauge the subjective wellbeing of Kashana’s residents was used as well. Three Kashana i.e. Rawalpindi, Faisalabad and Lahore were selected as a population of the present study. The purposive sampling technique was used from the target population; about 150 respondents. Analysis of the data was made on the basis of Univariate descriptive, bivariate descriptive analysis and Chi-square test. The results indicates that slightly more than half of the respondents exhibited moderate level of subjective wellbeing and remaining half were assessed high level of wellbeing. The study found that Kashana plays an important role in the life of residents as majority of the children were satisfied with all the facilities. It was found that Kashana is one of the major institutions that provide a peaceful shelter with all the basic necessities (food, education, health care) to vulnerable children. Keywords: Children, Subjective wellbeing, Care, Institution, Kashana, Welfare.

Full textAbstract:
Cash transfer programs have become the main poverty-alleviating policy in several developing countries. This study analyzes the perceived impact of Direct Cash Assistance (BLT) as an Unconditional Cash Transfer (UCT) program in Indonesia by examining beneficiary households’ subjective wellbeing. Two rounds of Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS) panel data from 2007 (IFLS-4) and 2015 (IFLS-5) are used, from which this study take the subjective wellbeing indicators. Three main categories of subjective wellbeing components are developed using Principle Component Analysis (PCA): family satisfaction, future perception, and children. Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) and fixed effect methods are used to determine the impact of UCT program on subjective wellbeing. The Indonesian UCT program is negatively correlated or has no impact on improving recipients’ subjective wellbeing compared to that of non-recipients. Out of the three subjective wellbeing components, family satisfaction appears to have received significant and positive impact from the UCT program. UCT may also help beneficiaries maintain stable consumption level during short-term economic shocks, but future perception and children’s wellbeing perception are not found to be affected.

Full textAbstract:
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a treatment suitable for pediatric patients for less food restrictions, better school attendance and requires less hospital visits than hemodialysis. However, it may still cause stress and affect children’s wellbeing as children with end-stage renal disease have to undergo treatment four times a day, 30 min each time. Thus, sound interventions used to improve children’s comfort during PD treatments are worthy of investigating and are the aim of this study. Respondents will include PD patients under 18 years of age. Three types of sound will be played during PD treatment via headphone, including natural sound, classical music, and songs chosen by individual patient. Vital signs will be measured with oximeter to include heart rate, respiratory rate, O2 saturation, and blood pressure. Neurological activities will be recorded by electroencephalography (EEG). PD treatment efficiency will be measured by calculating fluid removal volume. Questionnaires will be given to measure the subjective wellbeing of respondents. Correlations among chosen music, vital signs, EEG readings, treatment efficiency, and patient’s subjective wellbeing will be investigated. The findings of this research will add knowledge to improve subjective patient wellbeing and dialysis efficiency by acoustic interventions.

Full textAbstract:
Objective: Based on a three-factor model of subjective wellbeing (evaluative, hedonic and eudemonic), the purpose of this study was to analyze gender differences in children and adolescents through three different subjective wellbeing indicators. Method: The sample comprised 1.407 children and adolescents from Cadiz and Madrid (Spain), in the framework of the UP&DOWN study. Life satisfaction was measured with the subjective happiness scale, positive and negative affect were measured with the positive and negative affect schedule, and purpose in life was assessed with the children’s hope scale. Results: Linear regression models indicate the existence of significant gender differences only in adolescents, with higher scores among girls in positive affect (p = 0.016) and negative affect (p < 0.001) but with lower scores in purpose in life (p = 0.024). Conclusions: These results highlight the role of gender as an important factor in explaining differences in subjective wellbeing. Additionally, results indicate that gender differences in subjective wellbeing are observed in adolescents, but not in children, suggesting that the gender gap in subjective wellbeing begins at the age of 12. Mental health practitioners should pay attention to these findings in order to implement screening methods and interventions focused on these needs.

Full textAbstract:
This research was carried out within the theoretical and applied framework of Positive Psychology, which over the past ten years has highlighted the need to promote wellbeing through recognition of the potential and resources of the individual (Seligman, Csikszentmihalyi, 2000). The concept of wellbeing encompasses both “objective” aspects (e.g. state of health, socio-economic status, quality of living environment etc.) and “subjective” aspects relating to one’s self-perception of wellbeing (Diener, Oishi, Lucas, 2003).
Within the field of Positive Psychology, subjective wellbeing has been studied from two different perspectives: the hedonic view, which holds the construct of wellbeing to be mainly related to emotions and life satisfaction (Diener, Suh, Lucas, & Smith, 1999) and the eudaimonic view which attributes subjective wellbeing to the self-fulfillment (Ryff, 1989) and purposeful engagement (Delle Fave, 2007).
Within the hedonic perspective, wellbeing has often been linked to positive emotions, especially happiness, while less attention has been devoted to life satisfaction. Furthermore, most of the research on wellbeing has been carried out with adults and adolescents rather than with children (Huebner, Laughlin, Ash et al., 1998).
Given this background, the present study examined subjective wellbeing in 132 Italian children between the ages of 8 and 11, recruited on the basis of information supplied by their parents with regard to their psychological and physical health, in order to ensure that none of the participants displayed atypical development. The data were collected in two primary schools in Como (Northern Italy).
The first aim of the research was to investigate the meaning children attribute to the term “wellbeing”. To this end, content analysis was carried out on the answers to two open questions (What makes you feel good? Why?) using T-lab software (version PRO 4.1.1; Lancia, 2004). Analysis of word associations showed that wellbeing was associated with family, school, friendships, sport, the emotion of happiness, enjoyment, company, relaxation, letting off steam and feeling loved and protected. Analysis of specific typical associations revealed that females were more likely to describe wellbeing in socio-emotional terms (typical word: love/feeling safe) and males in terms of play (typical word: play).
The second research objective was to investigate whether certain individual factors predicted level of life satisfaction. Thus, the impact of emotional factors, namely intensity of positive/negative emotions and regulation of positive/negative emotions, and cognitive factor, specifically non-verbal intelligence, on life satisfaction (both total and linked to specific contexts such as self, family, friends, school and living environment) was examined. Participants completed the following self-report instruments: for life satisfaction, the Multidimensional Students’ Life Satisfaction Scale (Huebner, 1994); for intensity of emotions, Panas-c (Laurent, Catanzaro, Joiner et al., 1999); for emotion regulation, How I feel (Walden, Harris, Catron, 2003; in the Italian version by Antoniotti, Grazzani, Ciucci, 2008). As a measure of non-verbal intelligence, participants completed Raven’s Colored Progressive Matrices (Raven, 1984).
Multiple regression analyses were carried out, with intensity of positive/negative emotions, regulation of positive/negative emotions and non-verbal intelligence as predictors of life satisfaction (both total and linked to the specific contexts). Gender (male/female) was also included in the analysis as a predictor, given the differences between boys and girls which had emerged from the descriptive analysis.
The overall results showed that positive emotions predict life satisfaction, while capacity to regulate emotions and non-verbal intelligence do not. Analyzing males and females separately, it was found that in boys positive emotions predicted satisfaction with self, while in girls total life satisfaction is predicted both by intensity of positive emotions and by lower intensity of negative emotions. Positive emotions also predict girls’ satisfaction with self, family and friends. In addition, for females regulation of positive emotions predicts satisfaction with family.
The third aim was to investigate whether there were differences in life satisfaction between the children who obtained the “High”-est scores on non-verbal intelligence, intensity of positive/negative emotions and regulation of positive/negative emotions compared to those who obtained the “Low”-est scores. The T-tests were applied to a selection of the 20 children (10 boys and 10 girls) with the highest scores and the 20 children (10 boys and 10 girls) with the lowest scores. The results show that it is emotion intensity which predicts differences in life satisfaction. Specifically, “High” scores for positive emotion intensity predict greater life satisfaction: in males with regard to self and in females with regard to total satisfaction, self and the category “friends/school/environment”. Conversely, “High” scores for intensity of negative emotion determine lower life satisfaction: in males with regard to family and in females with regard to total satisfaction and the category “friends/school/environment”.
In summary, the study shows that it is principally intensity of emotions, especially positive emotions, which is related to greater life satisfaction; it also points up the importance of gender differences in subjective wellbeing.
It would be interesting in the future to investigate subjective wellbeing in children displaying atypical development, in particular those affected by disabilities, who have the right to a satisfactory level of wellbeing but are disadvantaged in terms of opportunity to attain it.

Full textAbstract:
Aims: The aims of this thesis were twofold. First, to review the literature on parental locus of control and its role in psychological outcomes for parents who have a child with an intellectual disability (ID). Second, a research study aimed to explore levels of parental subjective wellbeing in a specific group of these parents: those who have a child with profound and multiple intellectual disabilities (PMID). More specifically, whether two different types of parental cognition, parental locus of control and recognition of positive gains of having a child with PMID, were predictive of parental subjective wellbeing. Method: A systematic review of the literature was conducted to address the first aim. For the research study, a single sample of parents and family caregivers (n=101) completed three quantitative self-report questionnaires as part of a within-participant, cross-sectional survey design. These included the Positive Gain Scale, a modified version of the Parental Locus of Control Scale, and the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale . Results: The systematic review highlighted the influence of parental locus of control and other parental cognitions on parent and family psychological outcomes. The research study revealed that parental subjective wellbeing in this group of parents (N= 101) was lower than in the general population. Multiple regression analysis revealed that parental locus of control significantly predicted parental subjective wellbeing (β= -.279, t(2,99)= 9.419, p= .005), accounting for around 8% of the variance in WEMWBS scores, R2= .081, F(2,99)= 5.474, p= .006. Conclusions and implications: Although the systematic review and the research study highlighted the importance of parental locus of control for parents of children with ID, the results of the study suggest that other factors are also involved in influencing subjective wellbeing of parents of children with PMID. They also indicate a potential role for psychological intervention for parents and families with a focus on adjusting beliefs and expectations and promoting an internal parental locus of control. However, further research exploring the emotions and experiences of this group of parents is needed.

Thesis advisor: Margaret LombeFor children that overcome Nigeria’s high child mortality rate, there is the additional and less-obvious hurdle of not reaching their full potential in life due to developmental delays. When children are on track developmentally, they stand a better chance of being ready for school, excelling academically, economically, and socially throughout the lifespan. Fewer studies in the Nigerian context have examined how known risk and protective factors interact to affect early childhood development (ECD). This three-paper dissertation used data from the nationally representative 2016/17 Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS) and was guided by the social determinants of health framework, the socioecological model of child development, and the family stress and investment models. The study highlighted the factors, including disparities across the multiethnic and diverse socioeconomic groups of Nigeria that are associated with child outcomes. i. Paper 1 assessed the performance and psychometric properties of the 10-item ECDI used in the MICS to track developmental outcomes among Nigerian children. ii. Paper 2 characterized the risk and protective factors for ECD across the 36 states and FCT of Nigeria using a multilevel modeling approach and, iii. Paper 3 used a structural regression to model the association between maternal subjective wellbeing (SWB), and developmental outcomes among the 3- to 4-year-old children. Findings highlighted discrepancies in the construct validity of the ECDI. Across the studies, resources, and family socioeconomic status particularly maternal level of education were significant predictors of outcomes for the child. Further, the study revealed that a child’s developmental context matters, where 29% of the variation in child outcomes was attributed to clustering by states. The studies extend prior research on ECD in Nigeria by its use of more accurate milestones to characterize ECD, its multilevel modeling approach, and its investigation of maternal SWB as a proxy for mental health. In all, findings from the dissertation call attention to the need to revise the ECDI, and for culturally adapted and validated ECD instruments. The study also highlighted the need to invest more resources in child development, mental health, and family strengthening especially through maternal education and wealth creation

Torres, Estrella. "Measuring Mental Health in Children with Disabilities : The use of the two continua model." Thesis, 2021. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:hj:diva-53665.
Full textAbstract:
Mental health has traditionally been described as the absence of mental problems, being those second ones equated to impairments, overlapping disability with mental illness. This unfounded conviction is being replaced by a positive mental health approach that recognizes them as distinct constructs. The two continua model is the first model to prove with empirical support that the presence of mental problems does not entail a lacking positive mental health. In the midst of this transformation disabled children’s voices are being acknowledged as an often-ignored presence as the United Nation’s Convention of People with Disability pushes for their recognition. This systematic review aims to explore which instruments are being used to measure the mental health of children with disabilities, and to assess how do they compare to the Mental health Continuum Scale (MHC-SF) which emerges as the operationalization of positive mental health in the Two continuum model. Five databases were explored, eight articles were chosen from which nine questionnaires were analysed and quality assessed with the Cosmin Checklist. From those, two instruments focused on mental problems (SDQ and ChYMH), two Surveys from which items were taken and adapted to measure flourishing (NSCH 2016/2011-2012 and L&H-YP 2011), three instruments targeting quality of life on children with a disability (Kidslife, CPQoL-Teens and Kidscreen), a newly developed subjective mental health questionnaire for children with intellectual disability (WellSEQ) and the MHC-SF itself. Results show the emotional wellbeing dimension to be the most widely used, but positive functioning is misrepresented often measured as external factors. There is a tendence towards the traditional deficit-based formulation of items, despite that, there are good quality instruments that cater to children with disabilities with self-report measures (CPQoL-Teens, WellSEQ and Kidscreen) although severe ID co-mobilities are excluded. The use of digital resources in the administration poses a promising path to allow large scale surveys in children with cognitive and motor impairments, even more so being that the School is the common place of administration without acknowledging that children with chronic health conditions present higher rates of absenteeism.

AbstractIn this chapter, we analyze nationwide measures taken in Russia to organize the education system during the pandemic. We show the opportunities and limitations for responses associated relative to the previous policy phase. Special attention is paid to the peculiarities of a system reaction to the situation of a pandemic in a federative country with heterogeneous regions. In contrast to several other countries that adopted a single national strategy, different scenarios were implemented in Russian regions. We investigate the factors that influenced the scenarios and management decisions at the national and regional levels of the country. We highlight differences in the nature and dynamics of measures taken to organize learning in the first (spring–summer 2020) and second (autumn–winter 2020) waves of the pandemic. We also analyze the subjective experience and wellbeing of students and teachers during a pandemic. As the empirical base, we use data from several large sociological studies conducted in the Russian Federation over the past six months on the issues of school closures, distance learning, and the “new normal.” This provides a new perspective for studying the increasing education gap between children with different socioeconomic status due to the pandemic.

This chapter explores different theories of advantage in the context of childhood. It argues that both subjective theories of advantage, which measure mental states like happiness, and resource theories must both be rejected. Resource based theories are attractive in the case of adulthood when a person can rightly be held responsible for their choices but cannot capture important threats to children’s interests. In their place I propose a wellbeing theory drawing on Martha Nussbaum’s capabilities view.

Full textAbstract:
Fatigue is a common yet poorly understood topic. The psychological, physiological, social, emotional, and cognitive wellbeing of a person may be affected due to fatigue. Despite a century of research in understanding the effect of fatigue on human systems, there is no concrete explanation as how fatigue affects the perception of speech. Fatigue impairs auditory cognition and the reduced cognitive abilities further increase mental and physical fatigue. Since cognition is markedly affected in individuals experiencing mental fatigue, its consequences are widespread. According to the top-down approach of auditory processing, there is a direct link between cognition and speech perception. Thus, in the present chapter, the influence of fatigue on perception is reviewed. It is noted that the impact of fatigue on cognition and quality of life is different for children and adults. Training in music, meditation, and exposure to more than one language are some of the measures that help to reduce the effect of fatigue and improve cognitive abilities in both children as well as in adults.

Our study aimed to define the linkage between the happiness of mature Russians and their satisfaction with different aspects of life. We formed the hypothesis of a connection between happiness and satisfaction with the job, material situation, health, proper rest, inter-spousal relations, and relationships with their children and friends. The results revealed that the feelings of happiness are connected with both objective socio-demographic indicators and the level of satisfaction with different life aspects. Happiness positively correlates with the number of children in a family and income, and also with overall life satisfaction. With age, a subjective sense of happiness “fades” a bit, and the respondents estimate happiness slightly lower (it is more characteristic of the female part of the sample). Men and women do not differ in the level of being happy but there exist some peculiarities in the linkage of happiness with such factors as marital status (being married) and the number of children – unlike men, for women these correlations are statistically significant. Also, men, compared to women, are more satisfied with the material situation and inter-spousal relations and less satisfied with their relations with friends. In general, the obtained results complement the data published in academic literature. Thus, it was found that not all factors considered as predictors of happiness in the public mind correlate with the feelings of happiness. For instance, it was revealed that such an essential factor of material wellbeing as homeownership has nothing to do with a sense of happiness: the respondents with and without own homes are equally happy

This article addresses teachers counselling needs, from the perspective of the relationship with preschoolers and pupils, in order to motivate them to achieve high school performance and to develop their personality. Teachers are also in an ideal position to bring their concerns to the attention of parents and offer guidance on different strategies and sources of help which may be needed. At the same time teachers are now expected to work more closely with parents and other professionals such as psychologists and social workers. In addition, senior teachers are expected to be able to support and appraise other teachers. To fulfil their roles in each of these areas teachers need to possess basic counselling skills. The article presents several aspects regarding counselling needs, in order to maintain the teachers' wellbeing and to prevent occupational stress. To identify all these counselling needs, we applied to a number of 105 teachers from three counties, a questionnaire developed by us, which contains 10 objective and subjective items. Thus, within this article, the answers offered by the teachers are presented, analyzed and interpreted, taking into account the variable professional experience. The results of this analysis, of the teachers' counseling needs, target aspects such as: methods of knowing children and pupils, strategies for solving interpersonal conflicts, techniques for optimizing the relationship with parents and pupils, ways to stimulate motivation for play and learning, ways of preventing school failure, effective methods of integrating children or pupils with special needs, preventing aggression, as well as the need for programs aimed at preventing intra-family violence. The article finally presents conclusions and recommendations regarding teachers counseling needs.

Full textAbstract:
More people than ever are living in cities, and in these cities, more and more people are living alone. Using the example of Vienna, this paper investigates the subjective well-being of single households in the city. Previous research has identified positive and negative aspects of living alone (e.g., increased freedom vs. missing social embeddedness). We compare single households with other household types using data from the Viennese Quality of Life Survey (1995–2018). In our analysis, we consider overall life satisfaction as well as selected dimensions of subjective wellbeing (i.e., housing, financial situation, main activity, family, social contacts, leisure time). Our findings show that the subjective well-being of single households in Vienna is high and quite stable over time. While single households are found to have lower life satisfaction than two-adult households, this result is mainly explained by singles reporting lower satisfaction with family life. Compared to households with children, singles are more satisfied with their financial situation, leisure time and housing, which helps to offset the negative consequences of missing family ties (in particular with regard to single parents).
