[pt] O investimento emocional é um traço referente à disposição em investir emocionalmente nos relacionamentos. Em geral, quanto maiores os níveis de investimento emocional, maior a tendência a estabelecer relacionamentos compromissados e satisfatórios. Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo verificar a relação entre investimento emocional, sociossexualidade (tendência a ter relacionamentos casuais) e satisfação com o relacionamento. Para isso, foram desenvolvidos dois estudos. O primeiro estudo teve como objetivo construir uma escala para aferir o investimento emocional, bem como buscar suas evidências de validade e precisão. Os resultados desse estudo indicaram que a escala de Investimento Emocional apresenta estrutura de dois fatores, denominados Romantismo e Carinho, com adequados índices de consistência interna. O segundo estudo teve como objetivo testar o papel mediador da sociossexualidade na relação entre investimento emocional e satisfação com o relacionamento. O investimento emocional exerceu um impacto positivo na satisfação com o relacionamento e um impacto negativo na sociossexualidade, que por sua vez, exerceu um impacto negativo na satisfação com o relacionamento. A sociossexualidade mediou a relação entre investimento emocional e satisfação com o relacionamento, tornando a magnitude da relação mais fraca. Os achados desta pesquisa nos ajudam a compreender melhor a dinâmica dos relacionamentos românticos, sobretudo a sua manutenção. / [en] Emotional investment is a trait referring to the tendency to invest emotionally in relationships. In general, the higher the levels of emotional investment, the greater the tendency to establish long-lasting and satisfying relationships. This research aimed to verify the relationship between emotional investment, sociosexuality (tendency to have short relationships), and satisfaction with the relationship. For this purpose, two studies were developed. The first study aimed to elaborate a scale to measure emotional investment and search for validity evidence and precision. This study indicated that the Emotional Investment scale has a two-factor structure, called Romanticism and Affection, with adequate internal consistency indices. The second study aimed to test the mediating role of sociosexuality in the relationship between emotional investment and satisfaction with the relationship. Emotional investment had a positive impact on satisfaction with the relationship and a negative impact on sociosexuality, which had a negative impact on satisfaction with the relationship. Sociosexuality mediated the relationship between emotional investment and satisfaction with the relationship, resulting in a weaker magnitude of the relationship. This research s finding helps us better understand the dynamics of a romantic relationship, especially its maintenance.

Studiens syfte var att undersöka om tillfredsställelse med skiftarbete kunde predicera inre motivation och yttre motivation inom sektorerna vård och industri. En enkät delades på sociala medier (Facebook och LinkedIn) samt skickades ut till vårdenhetschefer och HR. Kriteriet för att delta var att deltagarna behövde arbeta skift i någon form. Enkäten innehöll tre påståenden om inre motivation samt sex påståenden om yttre motivation som baserades på Multidimensional Work Motivation Scale (MWMS). För att mäta tillfredsställelse med att arbeta skiftarbete ställdes frågan ”hur nöjd är du med att arbeta skift?”. Enkäten genererade 79 deltagare. 4 regressionsanalyser visade inga samband mellan tillfredsställelse med att arbeta skift och yttre/inre motivation inom vare sig vård eller industri. Däremot fanns skillnader i typ av motivation, där den inre motivationen var signifikant högre inom vården än inom industrin. Inga skillnader i tillfredsställelse eller yttre motivation mellan sektorerna kunde ses. / The purpose of the study was to investigate whether satisfaction with shift work could predict internal motivation and external motivation in the care and industry sectors. A survey was shared on social media (Facebook and LinkedIn) and sent out to care unit managers and HR. The criterion for participation was that the participants needed to work shifts in some form. The questionnaire contained three statements about internal motivation and six statements about external motivation based on the Multidimensional Work Motivation Scale (MWMS). To measure satisfaction with working shifts, the question was asked "how satisfied are you with working shifts?". The survey generated 79 participants. 4 regression analyzes showed no relationship between satisfaction with working shifts and external / internal motivation in either healthcare or industry. On the other hand, there were differences in the type of motivation, where the internal motivation was significantly higher in healthcare than in industry. No differences in satisfaction or external motivation between the sectors could be seen.

Trots en markant ökning av vaktpersonal i privat regi under de senaste decennierna finns det inte mycket empirisk forskning om allmänhetens uppfattning av väktare. I detta arbete undersöks malmöbornas tillit till och tillfredställelse med väktare och syftet med studien är att får en inblick i allmänhetens inställning till vaktpersonal. Enkäter delades ut i Malmö med frågor angående upplevd tillit till väktare, tillfredställelse med väktare samt frågor om respondenternas uppfattning av väktares professionalitet, ansvarskyldighet, framställning och artighet. Urvalet bestod av 78 respondenter och resultaten tyder på att den allmänna uppfattningen av vaktpersonal är mer positiv än negativ. Upplevd professionalitet hos väktare påverkade tillit till väktare och upplevd artighet hos väktare påverkade tillfredställelse med väktare. Hur man upplevt väktares beteende vid personlig kontakt visade sig påverka uppfattningen av både tillit till och tillfredställelse med vaktpersonal. Studier om allmänhetens uppfattning av vaktpersonal kan användas i utbildande syfte för vaktbolag för att påverka väktares beteende och agerande mot allmänheten. Ökad kännedom av allmänhetens inställning till vaktpersonal är även relevant för politiker i deras ställningstagande av framtida reglering av den privata säkerhetsindustrin. / Despite the rapid increase in private security guards in recent decades, little is known about citizens’ perception of security guards. In this paper citizens’ trust and satisfaction with security guards is assessed. The aim of the study is to get an insight into citizens’ perception of private security guards in Malmö. Paper and pencil surveys were distributed in Malmö with questions regarding perceived trust and satisfaction with security guards and about security guards’ professionalism, accountability, imagery, and civility. The sample consisted of 78 respondents and the findings suggest that the overall perception of security guards was more positive than negative, however, the results were largely mixed. Perceived professionalism predicted satisfaction with security guards and perceived civility predicted trust in security guards. Also, security guard behavior while interacting with the public was a strong predictor of both trust and satisfaction with security personnel. Results from this study and similar studies can be used by private security organizations to educate staff in order to improve the public perception of security guards. It may also be useful for policy makers in order to make more educated decisions about future regulation of the private security industry.

Yes / This paper systematically examines (i) how individual personality can influence on cultural acculturation which can impact on the higher level of perceived value in LGBTs, and (ii) how the higher level of perceived value towards social media can result in being more satisfied, (iii) consequently having a better working life at workplace and performance proficiency. The generated framework was validated through a survey from multinational corporations in multi-industries such as higher education (with more than two campuses around the world), global fashion, global retailing, tourism, hospitality, food, and electronics and information technology. Key results, implications for managers and researchers are highlighted.

This study compares three groups of undergraduate college males in heterosexual dating relationships: those who are physically and psychologically abusive (n=39), those who are solely psychologically abusive (n=44), and those who are non-abusive (n=34). These three groups are compared along the following variables: self-reported history of experiencing family of origin violence; self-reported history of witnessing family of origin violence; level of self-reported impulsivity; level of self-reported satisfaction with life; level of self-reported alcohol use; level of self-reported relationship satisfaction; and amount of self-reported anger management skill. An analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed significant main effects among the three groups of males along several of the variables examined (Wilks' Lambda F = 4.80, df = 10, 220, p <.001). Post hoc tests revealed significant differences among the three groups of males. This study revealed that these three groups differ significantly along their levels of alcohol use (F = 10.16, p <.001), their reported levels of relationship satisfaction (F = 4.23, p <.05), and their levels of anger management skills (F = 14.56, p<.001). This information can be helpful to clinicians and educators who are working with college populations. It would seem that psychoeducation might be useful for some of these men so that they might develop alternatives to violence, and may hopefully decrease the risk factors associated with the perpetration of relationship violence. Intervening early and effectively with these dating relationships can be a substantive step towards preventing the escalation and maintenance of violence in relationships. / Master of Science

A survey was done in order to identify the predictors that contribute to satisfaction with qowl. A positive correlation was found between satisfaction with facets of work life and overall satisfaction with qowl. No significant difference was found between overall satisfaction and the mean of the satisfaction with the facets of work life. Organisational climate seemed to have the greatest influence. Significant predictors are identification with the organisation, participation, communication, resource management, work group functioning, reward system, health and safety aspects, job security and the rate of pay. Significant differences were found between rank, occupational, race and age groups. When need non-fulfilment scales are added to facets of work life measures, increase in the prediction of overall satisfaction is significant. The need to do work that supports moral values contributed most significantly to overall satisfaction. The most frequent preference was for financial security, followed by recognition, relationships and for achievement. / Psychology / M.A.

As people meet their basic biological needs, they become increasingly concerned with higher level needs, such as personal development and positive well-being. The term "subjective well-being" (SWB) refers to people's evaluations of their lives and although relatively stable, people's levels of SWB are influenced by life events. The high position of esteem needs in Maslow's hierarchy of needs reflects the importance of self-esteem in people's judgement of their quality of life. A one group post test only, analytical research design was utilised with 570 residents of an informal settlement in Soweto. A structured questionnaire was designed to obtain information on demographic variables, levels of SWB and levels of self-esteem. The levels of SWB and self-esteem within the community were relatively high. Multiple regression analyses models confirmed that demographic factors are weakly correlated with SWB and self-esteem. Self-esteem was highly correlated with life satisfaction. / Psychology / M.A. (Psychology)
