Esta investigación tiene como objetivo estudiar la relación entre el bienestar psicológico y la satisfacción marital en adultos de la ciudad de Lima Metropolitana, del mismo modo, en el Perú, se ha encontrado poca evidencia científica sobre la relación de las variables de estudio. Para este trabajo se utilizó un diseño descriptivo correlacional, se evaluó en total 193 personas que se encontraban casados o conviviendo, de los cuales 50.3% fueron mujeres y 49.7% varones. Las edades de la muestra fluctuaron entre los 20 y 50 años. Se utilizó la escala de Bienestar Psicológico para Adultos (BIEPS-A) (Domínguez, 2014) y Satisfacción Marital (ESM) de Pick y Andrade (Vera, 2010); se halló que ambos instrumentos cuentan con validez y confiabilidad. Se concluye que ambas variables correlacionaron de manera significativa y positiva, se identificó qué Vínculos sociales y Autorrealización presentaron una correlación moderada con la Satisfacción Marital; no obstante, la correlación de Autonomía con Satisfacción Marital fue baja. Se interpreta entonces que a mayor percepción de satisfacción marital se tiene una asociación positiva con los vínculos sociales, y la autorrealización. / The objective of the present investigation was to study the relationship between psychological well-being and marital satisfaction in adults in the city of Metropolitan Lima. In the same way, in Peru, little scientific evidence has been found on the relationship between both variables. A correlational descriptive design was used, and a total of 193 people who were married or living together were evaluated, 50.3% were women and 49.7% were men. The ages of the students were 20 to 50 years. We used the scale of Psychological Wellbeing for Adults (BIEPS-A) (Dominguez, 2014) and Marital Satisfaction (ESM) of Pick and Andrade (Vera, 2010). It was found that both instruments have validity and reliability. We conclude that the variables correlated significantly and positively, identified as Social Links and Self-realization presented a moderate correlation with Marital Satisfaction; nevertheless, the correlation of Autonomy with Marital Satisfaction was low. It is interpreted  that a greater perception of satisfaction has a positive association with social bonds, and self-realization. / Tesis

Föreliggande studie är en kvantitativ studie där syftet var att undersöka hur olika typer av tränarbeteenden och motivationsklimat påverkar samt predicerar psykologiskt välbefinnande hos ungdomsfotbolsspelare. I studien deltog 95 ungdomsfotbollsspelare, antingen tillhörande en SEF certifierad akademi eller ett ungdomslag vars representationslag tillhör någon av de fyra högsta divisionerna i Sverige. Datainsamlingen genomfördes med hjälp av digitala enkäter som skickades ut till ansvariga i sju olika fotbollsföreningar där deltagarna var i åldrarna mellan 16 och 19 år (M=16.97, SD=2.6). De enkla regressionsanalyserna visade att tränarbeteendet tävlings-/matchstrategier indikerade på störst positiv effekt på psykologiskt välbefinnande och var den typ av tränarbeteende som predicerade mest psykologiskt välbefinnande. Fortsättningsvis indikerar resultatet på en positiv effekt mellan uppgiftsorienterat motivationsklimat och psykologiskt välbefinnande, och en negativ effekt mellan resultatorienterat motivationsklimat. Studiens resultat skulle sannolikt kunna anses vara användbart för att facilitera psykologiskt välbefinnande och i förlängningen utveckling för ungdomsfotbollsspelare genom lämpliga tränarbeteenden och uppgiftorienterat motivationsklimat. / The present study is a quantitative study aimed at examining how different types of coaching behaviors and motivational climates affect and predict the psychological well-being of youth soccer players. The study included 95 youth soccer players, either belonging to a SEF-certified academy or a youth team whose representative team belongs to one of the four highest divisions in Sweden. Data collection was conducted using digital surveys sent to responsible parties in seven different soccer associations where the participants were between 16 and 19 years old (M=16.97, SD=2.6). The simple regression analyses showed that coach behavior of competition/match strategies indicated the greatest positive effect on psychological well-being and was the type of coaching behavior that predicted the most psychological well-being. Furthermore, the results indicate a positive effect between task-oriented motivational climate and psychological well-being, and a negative effect between result-oriented motivational climate. The study's results could likely be considered useful for facilitating psychological well-being and, in turn, development for youth soccer players through appropriate coaching behaviors and task-oriented motivational climate.

Thesis (MA)--Stellenbosch University, 2014. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Considering the growing poverty and unemployment in South Africa, there is clearly an urgent need for development, particularly among the historically disadvantaged communities where the level of inequality is the highest. Sport has been viewed by a number of scholars as a possible vehicle for developing communities. In this regard, involvement in sport and exercise has been linked to psychological wellbeing, capacity building and skills development among adolescents, which leads to the empowerment of individuals. This study investigates the functioning of a Sport Development Academy, which uses canoeing as a mechanism to improve the quality of lives of people living in a rural community in The Valley of a Thousand Hills in Kwa-Zulu Natal. This qualitative investigation targeted a group of seven young men, between the ages of nineteen and twenty-nine years old, who were interviewed in order to examine their lived experiences as a result of participating in the Academy and the extent to which the Academy impacted positively on their lives. The Positive Youth Development Paradigm, Bronfenbrenner’s Eco-Systems Theory and the Athlete-Coach relationship view, was used as a lens through which the research findings were examined. The Athletes in the Academy learnt a number of values and skills such as hard work, determination and respect. They became involved in pro-social behaviors as opposed to anti-social behaviors due to their participation in the sport development programme. This participation resulted in the gaining of social capital which can lead to upward social mobility. The capacity of these athletes has also been improved. These above factors improve the psychological wellbeing of the individuals and equip them with essential values and skills that make them more employable. The research findings suggest that the involvement of the seven young men in the Academy produced a number of positive impacts. Therefore, the results of the research indicate that sport can be used, to a certain extent, as a vehicle through which development can occur. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Groeiende armoede en werkloosheid in Suid-Afrika dui dat daar duidelik 'n dringende behoefte vir ontwikkeling, veral onder die voorheen-benadeelde gemeenskappe is waar die vlak van ongelykheid die hoogste is. Sommige navorsers sien sport as 'n moontlike voertuig vir die ontwikkeling van hierdie gemeenskappe. In hierdie verband word betrokkenheid in sport en oefening gekoppel aan sielkundige welstand, kapasiteitsbou en die ontwikkeling van vaardighede onder tieners wat lei tot die bemagtiging van individue. Hierdie studie ondersoek die funksionering van 'n sportakademie wat gebruik maak van die sport kanovaart as 'n meganisme om die gehalte van die lewens van mense te verbeter wat woon in die landelike gemeenskap van die Vallei van 'n Duisend Heuwels in Kwa -Zulu Natal. Hierdie kwalitatiewe ondersoek van 'n groep van sewe jong mans, tussen die ouderdomme van negentien en nege-en-twintig jaar oud, het bestaan uit onderhoude wat gevoer is om hul ondervindinge te ondersoek as 'n gevolg van hul deelname aan die Akademie en die mate waarin dit ‘n positiewe impak op hul lewens gehad het. Die Positiewe Jeugontwikkeling Paradigma, Bronfenbrenner se Ekosisteemtoerie en die atleet - afrigter verhouding is gebruik as 'n lens waardeur die bevindinge ondersoek is. Die atlete in die Akademie het 'n aantal waardes en vaardighede aangeleer soos harde werk, deursettingsvermoë en respek. Hulle het betrokke geraak in pro-sosiale gedrag in teenstelling met anti-sosiale gedrag as gevolg van hul deelname in die ontwikkelingsprogram. Dit het gelei tot die toename van hul sosiale kapitaal wat gelei het tot groter sosiale mobiliteit. Die kapasiteit van hierdie atlete is ook verbeter. Die bogenoemde faktore het gelei tot die verbetering van hul sielkundige welstand en om hulle toe te rus met noodsaaklike waardes en vaardighede om hulle meer geskik te maak vir toekomstige loopbane. Die navorsing dui verder daarop dat die betrokkenheid van die sewe jong mans in die Akademie 'n aantal positiewe invloede tot gevolg het. Die resultate van die navorsing dui dus daarop dat sport tot ‘n sekere mate gebruik kan word as 'n middel waardeur ontwikkeling kan plaasvind.

Research has illustrated the interrelatedness of childhood physical fitness and psychological wellbeing, psychological wellbeing and academic achievement, as well as physical fitness and academic achievement. In this study, we proposed that psychological wellbeing (self-esteem and depression) serves as a mediator between physical fitness and academic achievement during adolescence. In a sample of middle school children (N = 1,530), significant correlations were found between all three variables (p.0001). A hierarchical regression analysis was performed to assess the associations between physical fitness, psychological wellbeing, and academic achievement. The regression analysis reported a significant partial mediation effect. The results of this study supported the proposed hypotheses, including a mechanism of psychological wellbeing partially mediating the relationship between physical fitness and academic achievement. The findings of this study support the importance of encouraging activities to promote both physical fitness and psychological wellbeing in schools.

There is evidence of a prospective association between wellbeing and health outcomes including disease risk and longevity. The aim of this thesis was firstly to further explore whether wellbeing is a risk factor for specific chronic physical diseases, and secondly, to identify potential mediators and moderators of the association between wellbeing and disease risk or longevity. Chapter 1 provides an overview of research into associations between wellbeing and physical health. In addition, we outline theoretical models of how the experience of high wellbeing might impact physical health. In chapters 2 and 3, we build on research into wellbeing and chronic physical disease risk. In these chapters, we tested whether the association between wellbeing and disease risk was similar across different types of disease, and, whether different theoretical domains of wellbeing varied in their association with disease risk. We found particularly strong associations - that were not explained by demographic or health behaviour differences - between higher wellbeing and lower risk of arthritis, diabetes or chronic lung disease. In chapter 4, we further explore the association between wellbeing and arthritis risk using mediation analysis. Specifically, we tested whether this association was mediated by inflammatory biomarkers. We found that the biomarker C-reactive protein accounted for a small proportion of the association between wellbeing and a reduced risk of arthritis. The focus of the next two chapters was on potential moderators of the association between wellbeing and mortality risk. In chapter 5, we examined whether the association between higher wellbeing and lower mortality risk varied across individualist and collectivist cultures. We found a significant interaction between individualism and wellbeing such that the association between wellbeing and risk of mortality from cardiovascular disease was stronger in more individualistic countries. In chapter 6, we examined how positive affect (a subdomain of wellbeing), interacted with another psychosocial factor, namely subjective stress. Here, we tested Pressman and Cohen's (2005) stress buffering hypothesis that positive affect may be most strongly related with health under stressful conditions. In support of this hypothesis, we found that the association between positive affect and all-cause mortality risk was stronger in people reporting higher stress. In the final chapter, we summarise our findings, discuss the limitations of our approach and make recommendations for future research.

The aim of this study is to explore the relationship between employees' supportive resource (workplace support and non-work support) and their work-life balance in Taiwan. The roles of work-life balance's four components (work-to-life conflict, life-to-work conflict, work-to-life facilitation, and life-to-work facilitation) in the relationship between support and employee outcomes (psychological wellbeing, turnover intention, affective- and continuance organizational commitment) were examined. Eight-hundred surveys were distributed to for-profit and non-profit sectors. After eliminating the invalid questionnaires, 658 valid questionnaires were used for further analysis. The findings of this study suggested that three kinds of support (organizational support, supervisor support, and non-work support) were positively related to employees' work-life balance. However, no significant relationship was found between the availability and usage of the work-life balance policies and employees' work-life balance. More importantly, it was found that work-life balance and four components mediate the relationship between supervisor support and all employee outcomes. The relationship between employees' awareness of the policies that organization offered and favourable employee outcomes is also mediated by work-life balance. Interestingly, the availability and usage of the policies were not found to be related to either employees' better work-life balance or favourable employee outcomes. It is thus recommended that emphasizing supervisor support might be a better option than introducing various work-life balance policies for employees to achieve a better work-life balance. Otherwise, the work-life balance policies offered have to meet employees' needs.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / College students can be characterized as a group deserving special attention, given its evolutionary moment, usually the transition from adolescence to adulthood and experiencing a phase of adaptation to new demands and challenges of higher education context (POLYDORO, 2000). This study aims to investigate quality of life, psychological well-being and relational characteristics of college students. The sample consisted of 367 college students. We conducted a study that was crosssectional, descriptive, of correlational character, quantitative and qualitative in approach. The instruments were a demographic data sheet, the OMS World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL-bref), the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12), and the Bell Object Relations and Reality Testing Inventory (BORRTI-O). Results were obtained through descriptive and inferential statistical analysis using the statistical package SPSS 13.0. The sample comprised 217 women (59.1%) and 150 men (40.9%) with mean age of 22.8 years. Among the main results, we underline the high rate of psychological distress presented by sample where 48.8% of participants presents: psychic suffering worthy of attention; average indices of quality of life, with a particular harm in the field of environment and an average of 15.9% in relational pathology. The instruments showed significant correlations between rates of psychological distress, quality of life and relational features, emphasizing the importance of knowing such information to a global understanding of the college student. Furthermore, we emphasize the importance of programs designed to provide health care to students for purposes of prevention and health promotion in the university context. / Os estudantes universitários podem ser caracterizados como um grupo merecedor de especial atenção, dado seu momento evolutivo, geralmente de transição da adolescência para a vida adulta e vivenciando uma etapa de adaptação a novas exigências e desafios do contexto do ensino superior (POLYDORO, 2000). A presente pesquisa teve como objetivo investigar qualidade de vida, bem-estar psicológico e características relacionais de estudantes universitários. A amostra foi composta por 367 estudantes universitários. Foi realizado um estudo transversal, descritivo de caráter correlacional e de abordagem quantitativa e qualitativa. Os instrumentos utilizados foram uma ficha de dados sociodemográficos, o Questionário de Qualidade de Vida da Organização Mundial da Saúde (WHOQOL-bref), o Questionário de Saúde Geral (QSG-12), e o Inventário de Relações Objetais (BORRTI-O). Os resultados foram obtidos por meio de análise estatística descritiva e inferencial através do pacote estatístico SPSS 13.0. A amostra foi composta por 217 mulheres (59,1%) e 150 homens (40,9%), com média de idade de 22,8 anos. Entre os principais resultados, sublinhamos o alto índice de sofrimento psíquico apresentado pela amostra em que 48,8% dos participantes apresenta sofrimento psíquico merecedor de atenção; índices de qualidade de vida medianos, com especial prejuízo no domínio meio ambiente e uma média de 15,9% de patologia nas relações. Os instrumentos apresentaram correlações significativas entre os índices de sofrimento psíquico, qualidade de vida e características relacionais, frisando a importância de conhecermos tais dados a fim de um entendimento global do estudante universitário. Além disso, destacamos a relevância de programas destinados a dar atenção à saúde dos estudantes para fins de prevenção e promoção de saúde no contexto universitário.

Youths’ transition into adulthood can be challenging, especially when this transition implies acontinuation of education, thus a continuation of the financial dependency in early adulthood.There are an array of developmental tasks and challenges young people go through, and some ofthese tasks can be conflicting: pursuing an academic track versus having financialindependence. These new challenges can impact on youths’ wellbeing.However, having a goodparentalandpeer attachment have been shown to ease these transitions and have positive effectson wellbeing.In this current study we aimed to examine if parental and peer attachment couldsignificantly predict outcomes in psychological wellbeing(i.e., presence of life satisfaction andselfesteemand absence of depression) in university students (Mean age=22.5, SD= 2.0). Theresults showed that parentalandpeer attachment are significantly related to youths’ lifesatisfaction with one exception. Father attachment was not related to youths’ selfesteem.Insummary parentalandpeer attachment do contribute to significant increases in psychologicalwellbeing. / Ungdomars övergång till vuxenlivet kan vara utmanande,speciellt när denna övergång innebär enfortsättning av utbildning, vilket leder till en fortsättning av att vara finansiellt beroende i tidigtvuxenliv. Det finns en mängd utvecklingsrelaterade uppgifter och utmaningar som unga personergår igenom och vissa av dessa uppgifter kan vara motstridande: att gå den akademiska vägeneller vara finansiellt oberoende. Dessa nämnda utmaningar kan påverka ungdomarsvälbefinnande. Dock har det visat sig att ha en god anknytning till föräldrar och vänner kanunderlätta dessa övergångar och samtidigt ha positiva effekter på välbefinnande. Målet medstudien var att undersöka om föräldraochvänanknytning kunde signifikant förklara utfall ipsykologiskt välbefinnande (närvaro av livstillfredsställelse och självkänsla och frånvaro avdepression) i universitetsstudenter (Medelålder= 22,5, SD= 2,0). Resultaten visade att föräldraochvänanknytning var signifikant relaterat till universitetsstudenters tillfredsställelse med livet.Det fanns dock ett undantag då anknytning till fadern ej var signifikant relaterat till självkänsla. Sammanfattningsvis bidrar föräldraochvänanknytning till signifikanta ökningar i psykologisktvälbefinnande.
