Zeydanli, Tugba. "Essays on subjective Well-Being." Thesis, Paris 1, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015PA010030.
Full textThis dissertation consists of three essays on subjective well-being.The first essay examines whether aggregate job satisfaction in a certain labormarket environment can have an impact on individual-level job satisfaction.We seek an answer to this question using two different datasets from the UnitedKingdom characterizing two different labor market environments: WorkplaceEmployment Relations Survey (WERS) at the workplace level (i.e., narrowlydefined worker groups) and British Household Panel Survey (BHPS) at thelocal labor market level (i.e., larger worker groups defined in industry × regioncells). Implementing an original empirical strategy to identify spillover effects,we find that one standard deviation increase in aggregate job satisfaction leadsto a 0.42 standard deviation increase in individual-level job satisfaction at theworkplace level and 0.15 standard deviation increase in individual-level jobsatisfaction at the local labor market level. These social interactions effectsiiiare sizable and should not be ignored in assessing the effectiveness of thepolicies designed to improve job satisfaction.Individuals tend to self-report higher subjective well-being levels on certaindays of the weeks than they do on the remaining days, controlling for observedvariation. The second essay tests whether this empirical observation suffersfrom selection bias by using the 2008 release of the British Household PanelSurvey. In other words, we examine if subjective well-being is correlated withunobserved characteristics that lead the individuals to take the interview onspecific days of the week. We focus on two distinct well-being measures: jobsatisfaction and happiness. We provide convincing evidence for both of thesemeasures that the interviews are not randomly distributed across the days ofthe week. In other words, individuals with certain unobserved characteristicstend to take the interviews selectively. We conclude that a considerable partof the day-of-the-week patterns can be explained by a standard “non-randomsorting on unobservables” argument rather than “mood fluctuations”. Thismeans that the day-of-the-week estimates reported in the literature are likelyto be biased and should be treated cautiously.In Sub-Saharan Africa, some scholars identify ethnicity as a cause of instability and poor economic growth, which is due to worse public policies. Eifert,Miguel, and Posner (2010) show that ethnic identification is more prominentduring competitive election periods in comparison to other identifying categories such as gender, religion, and class/occupation. The third essay utilizesdata from 12 Sub-Saharan African countries and over 40,000 respondents takenivfrom the Afrobarometer. It asks if individual subjective well-being changes inthe run up to competitive elections. We find strong evidence that individualsubjective well-being does change. It is positively related to the proximity toan election and this proximity effect depends on the competitiveness of theelection. We further investigate the background mechanisms behind this positive relationship i.e.: to what extent does well-being of the individual change ifthe party that the individual supports wins the election, and is there a changein well-being of the individual before and after the election? In addition, wedocument that ethnic identification also has a positive impact on individualwell-being after controlling for electoral cycle variables. Policy makers shouldinternalize these positive externalities driven from politically-induced ethnicidentification

Full texts marital adjustment and psychological well-being, together with their socio-demographic characteristics and attachment, marital coping, and social support aspects. Altogether 524 married women provided data on domestic violence (Revised Conflict Tactics Scale), economic violence (Economic Violence Index), attachment (couples version of Experiences in Close Relationships-Revised), marital coping (Marital Coping Inventory), social support (Social Support Index), dyadic adjustment (Dyadic Adjustment Scale), psychological well-being (Brief Symptom Inventory), as well as demographic information. Results appeared to indicate a general tendency that women who have arranged marriages, more children, low education, low educated husbands, no or low income, and/or women who have more income compared to their husbands report higher levels of multiple types of domestic violence. Furthermore, the findings indicated that multiple types of domestic violence account for significant variances in marital adjustment and psychological well-being of married women, even after controlling for their attachment dimensions, marital coping strategies, and social support from different support groups. The findings were discussed in accordance with the relevant literature, and their implications for clinical practices and future studies were suggested.

Full textThroughout this dissertation we aim at identifying envy and investigating its impacts on both individual well-being and behaviour. This dissertation consists of four chapters. The first chapter is devoted to the definition of envy by referring to both researches on philosophy and psychology. We convey that envy can be defined as an emotion triggered by the awareness of a desired attribute enjoyed by another person characterised by a painful sadness including feelings of hostility. In the second chapter, we implement an experiment so as to investigate the impact of envy on individual well-being and behaviour. We capture envy through referring to self-report methods and explore whether envy pushes subjects to reduce their opponent's endowment at a personal cost. We observe that envy is highly present but does not explain why subjects reduce others' income. Inequalities between subjects' endowments measured in relative terms modulate subjects' decisions to reduce others' income. In chapter three, we study how effort affects envy and whether the impact of envy on both individual well-being and behaviour is amplified or weakened by effort. To fulfil our purpose, we implement two different conditions. In one condition endowments are randomly attributed to subjects and in the other condition endowments are allocated according to each subject's performance in a task. We observe that effort does not affect subjects' satisfaction and partially their behaviour : subjects do not reduce more often their opponent's endowment but they cut a higher portion of their opponent's endowment when endowments are attributed according to individual effort. In the final chapter, we focus on a specific category of subjects in which envy is ought to be experienced intensively : subjects practicing sport activities. We observe that sport practice pushes subjects to experience envy and exerts them to engage in reduction decisions

Full textBackground: What is perceived as humor is individual. Humor and laughter contribute to both physiological and psychological effects and one hypothesis exists regarding humor and good health. Humor is also of importance in communication, but due to individual’s varied in backgrounds its use requires caution. The positive effects of humor can be linked to Competence description for registered nurses, which describes a nurse’s responsibilities in four different areas of work: promoting health, preventing disease, restoring health and alleviating suffering. Aim: The aim of this research study was to describe patients’ and nurses’ experiences of humor in nursing care. Method: A study of the literature based on eleven qualitative scientific articles. Result: Humor was developed through experience and in order to use humor, sensitivity and patient knowledge were required. Through its property of being an effective tool of communication, humor was described as a promoter of relationships, which could facilitate patient care. Patients argued that in order for humor to be viewed as caring, the presence of empathy and trust was required. They also described humor as a defense mechanism and as a self-nurturing strategy. Conclusion: Nurses’ ability to use humor is developed through experience. By being aware of the limitations of humor, positive effects in patient care can be achieved, such as promoting relationships and facilitating patient care. When empathy and trust are present, humor can become nurturing and contribute to well-being and health. Clinical Significance: Knowledge about the significance of humor may make nurses better able to understand and help patients in nursing care.

Full textAs a result of the globalization of business and the many demographic changes, more and more professionals are working abroad on their own initiative or, to achieve a mandate within a branch of their company located abroad. The objective of this research is to study the concept of the foreign workers well-being. We associated this concept with two theoretical currents refereeing to the subjective well-being and the psychological well-being. The subjective well-being refers to the assessment made by the workers about the conditions and characteristics of the environment. The psychological well-being refers to the extent to which the individual feels good with himself and the consistency of his life project with its values and life goals. Taking into account that working in a foreign context can affect both the professional and personal lives of the individual, often affecting the couple and family, in this study we aim to examine the impacts of work-family conflict and enrichment experienced by workers (that are) in international mobility. Our research also allows us to explore how the work-family articulation (both by perceptions of conflict and enrichment) of workers in international mobility can be explained by three major determinants: social support, self-esteem and cultural intelligence. The study was conducted among 284 workers in international mobility that was living and working in different countries. After multiple analyzes, our results confirm the importance for these workers in international mobility to feel no work-family conflict, but to perceive work-family enrichment in order to experience more well-being. Moreover, our results show that work-family conflict is negatively related to both types of well-being assessed, while the work-family enrichment is only related to subjective well-being. Our results also highlight the negative links between on the one hand, the support offered by the organization and the family with the feeling of self-esteem and on the other, with work-family conflict experienced by workers in international mobility. It also appears that support from co-workers has a positive effect on work-family enrichment experienced and expressed by workers in international mobility. This thesis concludes on the implications of its results for research and practice. Finally, limitations and vision statement for the future research are explained

Full textCritique is a term that has not been given as much focus as the term feedback regarding research and studies of social relations. This study shows the importance of critique in the relations between teachers at an upper-secondary school. Using theories such as Scheff´s social bonds, Asplund´s problem solving, Mead´s “I” and “Me” amongst others we show the different aspects of critique, and what decides if it is interpreted as positive or negative. We have while doing this study discovered some things that are relevant when it comes to how individuals behave in regards to critique, for instance in what way it should be told and received. If the critique is interpreted as something positive it can lead to feelings of commitment and it can create a will to improve oneself. If it is interpreted as something negative it might have the opposite effect, that the individual isolates him or herself from other people or situations. Critique can also have an impact, for better or worse for the work environment and affect the teamwork between the teachers who work together.

Even in different countries and cultures, researchers have found that health, income, social connect and social interest are the main determinations of subjective well-being (SWB). It is said in economics textbooks that an individual with a higher income level certainly has a higher level of utility, but this argument is based on the measurement of absolute income. Alternatively, in addition to absolute income, growing literature has found that SWB is highly relative to relative income. This paper extensively examines how SWB depends on relative income that is measured by an income aspiration constructed by a comparison between one’s desired level of income and his actual income. Using the data drawn from Taiwan Social Chang Survey and the empirical evidence of this study indicates that a higher level of income aspiration reduces an individual’s SWB. In other word, if an individual is more satisfied with his (her) income, the happier he (she) is. Moreover, this paper finds direct evidence that gender, age, education, and religion are strongly associated with the level of SWB.
