No. of bitstreams: 1 Mariana Farias Mendonça.pdf: 2160140 bytes, checksum: 3922ec44b836d67d7d17d466c116fa58 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2018-08-09 / Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico - CNPq / Introdução: O advento da terapia antirretroviral (TARV) aumentou a expectativa de vida entre as pessoas vivendo com HIV (PVHIV), o que facilitou também sua inserção ou manutenção no ambiente de trabalho. Por outro lado, as PVHIV carregam consigo o peso do diagnóstico, o estigma atribuído à doença, infecções e tumores oportunistas e dificuldades quanto às oportunidades profissionais. Objetivo: Avaliar os fatores associados à capacidade para o trabalho entre as pessoas vivendo com HIV (PVHIV), bem como estimar a prevalência da capacidade para o trabalho, do bem-estar subjetivo e da qualidade de sono em pessoas vivendo com HIV. Métodos: Trata-se de uma pesquisa epidemiológica observacional, de corte transversal em uma amostra de 122 PVHIV, que possuíam trabalho remunerado, formal ou informal, com idade igual ou superior a 18 anos e em tratamento com antirretrovirais (TARV), assistidas pelo serviço de assistência especializada em aids, do município de Santos/SP. Para avaliar os fatores associados à capacidade para o trabalho moderada ou baixa, foi realizada a análise de regressão logística. O modelo múltiplo foi ajustado pela jornada de trabalho diária, tempo de infecção pelo HIV e marcadores biológicos (carga viral, contagem de células CD4 e relação entre CD4/CD8). Resultados: A idade média dos foi de 43,7 anos (DP 10,6 anos), sendo a maioria do sexo masculino (55,7%), solteiro (58,2%), com o ensino médio incompleto (65,6%) e com vínculo empregatício informal (52,1%). A média de tempo do uso da TARV foi de 7,2 anos (DP 6,6anos). A maioria apresentou capacidade para o trabalho ótima ou boa (55,7%), qualidade de sono ruim, tanto nos dias de trabalho quanto nos dias de folga (53,3% e 50,8%, respectivamente). O pior bem-estar subjetivo foi verificado em 41% das PVHIV. Independentemente da jornada de trabalho, do tempo de infecção pelo HIV e dos marcadores biológicos (carga viral, contagem de células CD4 e relação entre CD4/CD8), verificou-se que ter um trabalho informal, qualidade de sono ruim nos dias de trabalho e pior bem-estar subjetivo aumentou cerca de duas vezes a chance de se ter uma capacidade para o trabalho moderada ou baixa entre as PVHIV. Conclusão: O trabalho com vínculo informal, a qualidade de sono de ruim e o pior bem-estar subjetivo estão associados à pior capacidade para o trabalho entre pessoas vivendo com HIV, sendo elevadas as prevalências de capacidade moderada ou baixa para o trabalho, do bem-estar subjetivo e da qualidade de sono. / Introduction: The advent of antiretroviral therapy (ART) increased life expectancy among people living with HIV (PLWHIV), which also facilitated their insertion or maintenance in the work environment. On the other hand, PLWHIV carry the burden of diagnosis, the stigma attached to the disease, opportunistic infections and tumors, and difficulties in career opportunities. Objective: To evaluate the factors associated with work ability among people living with HIV (PLWHIV), as well as to estimate the prevalence of work ability, subjective well-being and quality of sleep in people living with HIV. Methods: This was a observational cross-sectional epidemiological study in a sample of 122 PLWHIV, who had formal or informal employment contract, aged 18 years or over and treated with antiretrovirals (ART), assisted by the service of specialized assistance in AIDS, of the municipality of Santos / SP. To evaluate the factors associated with moderate or low work ability, the logistic regression analysis was performed. The multiple model was adjusted for the working hours, time of HIV infection and biological markers (viral load, CD4 cell count and CD4/CD8 ratio). Results: The mean age was 43.7 years (SD 10.6 years); the majority were male (55.7%), single (58.2%), with incomplete secondary education (65.6% %) and with informal employment contract (52.1%). The mean time to use ART was 7.2 years (SD 6.6 years). The majority presented great or good work ability (55.7%), poor sleep quality, both on workdays and on days off (53.3% and 50.8%, respectively). The worst subjective well-being was seen in 41% in PLWHIV. Regardless of the working hours, time of HIV infection and biological markers, it has been found that having informal employment contract, poor sleep quality on working days, and worse subjective well-being has increased about twice the chance of having a moderate or low work ability among PLWHIV. Conclusion: Informal work, poor sleep quality, and worse subjective well-being are associated with worse work ability among people living with HIV, being high the prevalence of moderate or low work ability, subjective well-being and quality of sleep.

Quels facteurs explicatifs du burnout et du bien-être subjectif ? Déterminants psychologiques, sociaux et organisationnels auprès des cadres à responsabilités et élaboration d'un modèle / Potential factors of burnout and subjective well-being ? psychological, social and organizational parameters about business executives and development of a model

Fremont, Nathalie 15 January 2013 (has links)
Notre société accorde au travail une importance considérable, il constitue le socle de l'identité, promesse d'accomplissement et de réalisation de soi. Pourtant aujourd'hui, les cadres sont fatigués d'en faire toujours plus et d'aller au-delà de leurs limites. L'évolution de nos organisations a instauré des nouveaux modes d'organisation du travail tels que le management par objectifs, la gestion prévisionnelle des emplois et des compétences, des politiques d'individualisation, une évaluation continue des personnes et des process. Les exigences du travail que sont la quantité et la complexité du travail, le pression temporelle, liées à une injustice organisationnelle et un soutien au travail défaillants vont générer une réduction des ressources psychiques et physiques menant à l'épuisement émotionnel, voire à l'effondrement. Partant de ce constat, les résultats mis en évidence dans cette étude permettent d'insister sur un ensemble de déterminants de la santé et sur les influences imbriquées de ces facteurs. Les différents facteurs qui induisent les problèmes de santé au travail et sur lesquels il faudra agir concernent la charge de travail, l'organisation du travail et les pressions liées au temps, à la multiplicité des tâches et, en particulier, le manque de soutien et de feed-back positifs. Il est important aussi d'insister sur la place de la satisfaction des besoins. Chaque besoin fondamental doit pouvoir être satisfait sous peine de déséquilibre de la personne et d'atteinte à sa vitalité et à son existence. Une atteint à un niveau supra-ordonné (estime, reconnaissance,...) dans les contextes organisationnels néolibéraux déséquilibre fondamentalement la personne qui vit par et pour son organisation. Nous avons montré également l'importance de développer une justice organisationnelle forte notamment en termes des procédures et d'informations. / Our society provides great importance to the job, it is the foundation of identity, the promise of fulfillment and self-realization. However, today, business executive are tired to do more and more and go beyond their limits. The evolution of our organizations has introduced new forms of work organization such as management by objectives, management of jobs and skills, individual careers, based on assessment of people and processes. Work requirements such as the amount and complexity of work, time pressure, related to organizational injustice and lack of social support will generate a reduction in mental and physical resources leading to emotional exhaustion, or even collapse. From this basis, the results demonstrated in this study allow to insist on a set of health problems at work and on which we have to act, concern : workload, work organization and time pressures, multiple tasks and, in particular, the lack of support and of positive feedback. It is also important to emphasize the place of the satisfaction of needs. each basic need must be satistied under penalty of unbalanced person and affect its vitality and its existence. Infringement of a supra-ordered (esteem, recognition,...) in neoliberal organizational contexts imbalances fundementally the person who lives by and for the organization. We have also demonstrated the importance of developping a strong organizational justice particularly in terms of procedures and information.

Evaluering en verfyning van 'n perde-geassisteerde terapie program gerig op die psigologiese welstand van seuns in 'n nywerheidskool / Christa Boshoff

Boshoff, Christa January 2014 (has links)
South African adolescents are more likely to participate in high-risk behaviours, because they are exposed to high-risk environments that have a negative impact on them. The choices that adolescents make during this explorative life stage will influence and determine certain outcomes of their adult lives. Therefore, it is crucial to improve adolescents’ psychological well-being, as they are the future generation adults. Adolescents with behaviour problems form a unique population who do not respond effectively to traditional therapy, and researchers are continuously searching for more effective ways to reach this population. Equine-assisted therapy (EAT) is an intervention that has been proven to be effective with this population and to provide better outcomes than traditional psychotherapy. Although the value and positive effects of EAT has been proven, there is a gap in the literature concerning research on this topic, especially with regard to research conducted by means of quantitative methods. The overarching goal of this study was to evaluate and refine an EAT programme aimed at improving the psychological well-being of boys in a school of industry. This goal was attained by utilising a quantitative, experimental research design. The Solomon four-group design was applied, because it effectively controls pre-test sensitisation and provides the best control against threats to internal validity. The sample was selected from a school of industry near Bloemfontein, which provides residence to a group of adolescent boys who display behaviour problems. The 40 boys (N = 40) included in the sample were divided into two experimental groups of 10 boys each and two control groups of 10 boys each. During the course of the study, one of the boys withdrew and the sample was reduced to 39 boys. The programme was administered to the boys in the experimental groups. Before the programme commenced, one of the experimental groups and one of the control groups completed the pre-test. The psychometric instruments used were a biographical questionnaire, the Satisfaction with Life Scale and the Coping Orientations to the Problems Experienced Questionnaire. The boys then completed the EAT programme which consisted of eight sessions, each with its own outcomes and designed to improve subjective well-being and coping. After completion of the programme, all four groups completed the post-test consisting of the same psychometric instruments as the pre-test. The results showed that the programme significantly improved the boys’ subjective well-being. The boys’ problem-focused coping, emotion-focused coping and dysfunctional coping were also increased significantly. These improvements can be attributed directly to the programme, because pre-test sensitisation was controlled. The study found that the EAT programme had a significant positive effect on the boys’ subjective well-being and coping. The conclusion can be drawn that the programme significantly improved the boys’ psychological well-being. The programme was evaluated and refined, and recommendations were made for its future use. / PhD (Psychology), North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2014

No. of bitstreams: 1 Paulo Eduardo Ribeiro.pdf: 1083655 bytes, checksum: c223c7d2bde8376692343158e6550e1e (MD5) Previous issue date: 2009-01-30 / The expatriate studies, as much in how much international the national scope, normally deal with relative administrative aspects to the expatriation process, as, for example, the difficulties of adaptation of the individual and its family, as well as the damage that an unsuccessful program could bring for the organization. The objective of this study was to describe five psychosocial pointers of positive health (subjective well-being, well-being at work, perception of social support, perception of organizational support and optimism) in expatriated employees. A sample chosen for convenience was used, composed for 16people, being 8 of masculine sex and 8 of the feminine sex and that already they hadparticipated or they were participating of organizational programs of expatriation. The instrument of collection of data was a questionnaire of composed auto-fulfilling for eight measures that had surveyed the enclosed variable in the study (general satisfaction with the life, positive and negative affection, satisfaction in the work, involvement with the work, affective organizational involvement, perceptions of social and organizational support and optimism). Descriptive statistical analyses had been carried through, tested differences between averages, as well as calculated indices of correlation between variables. Results had disclosed that professionals expatriated had more chances to live deeply sensations affective positive of what negative in its experiences are of its native country, what allows to say that the expatriated ones tend the positive levels of very glad, happy, satisfied, much livened up and very well, very contented , then they had kept relatively preserved its subjective well-being. Also it was possible to observe that its bigger satisfactions with the life were not happened of the work and that they seemed to demonstrate to be satisfied with its interpersonal relations beyond presenting one strong affective entailing with its employer. Different result was gotten for involvement with the work disclosing that the tasks did not obtain to keep the expatriated one total absorbed by them during the period of expatriation. The study it also disclosed that the expatriated ones perceive to receive greater emotional support from its familiar ones, friends and relatives of what it has supported practical. How much to the perception of organizational support it was observed that they do not believe, unconditionally, in the support of the organization where they are inserted. The results had lightly shown despite the expatriated ones keep a positive expectation how much to the future, signaling an accented sense of optimism. It waspossible to also observe some significant correlations between the dimensions of SWB and well-being at work. On the basis of these results exist indications of positive health between the searched professionals, since they seem to be relatively well of good with the personal life and in the work, keeping medium beliefs of social and organizational support. The results of the study will be able to contribute for the understanding of the psychological picture of expatriated individuals e, at the same time, to offer one better conceptual recital for studious of the subject, as well as exciting in the managing reflections concerning action politics for the control of the psychic health of the employees who have participated or are participating of this type of organizational program.(AU) / Os estudos sobre expatriados, tanto no âmbito nacional quanto internacional, normalmente tratam de aspectos administrativos relativos ao processo de expatriação, como, por exemplo, as dificuldades de adaptação do indivíduo e de sua família, bem como o prejuízo que um programa mal sucedido poderia trazer para a organização. O objetivo desse estudo foi descrever cinco indicadores psicossociais de saúde positiva (bem-estar subjetivo, bemestar no trabalho, percepção de suporte social, percepção de suporte organizacional e otimismo) em empregados expatriados. Foi utilizada uma amostra escolhida por conveniência, composta por 16 pessoas, sendo 8 do sexo masculino e 8 do sexo feminino e que já haviam participado ou estavam participando de programas organizacionais de expatriação. O instrumento de coleta de dados foi um questionário de auto-preenchimento composto por oito medidas que aferiram as variáveis incluídas no estudo (satisfação geral com a vida, afetos positivos e negativos, satisfação no trabalho, envolvimento com o trabalho, comprometimento organizacional afetivo, percepções de suporte social e organizacional e otimismo). Foram realizadas análises estatísticas descritivas, testadas diferenças entre médias, bem como calculados índices de correlação entre variáveis. Os resultados revelaram que os profissionais expatriados tiveram mais oportunidades de vivenciar sensações afetivas positivas do que negativas em suas experiências fora do seu país de origem, o que permite dizer que os expatriados tendem a níveis positivos de muito alegres, muito bem, muito felizes, muito satisfeitos, muito animados e muito contentes , logo eles mantiveram relativamente preservado o seu bem-estar subjetivo. Também foi possível observar que as suas maiores satisfações com a vida não eram advindas do trabalho e que eles pareciam demonstrar estar satisfeitos com suas relações interpessoais além de apresentar uma forte vinculação afetiva com o seu empregador. Resultado diferente foi obtido para envolvimento com o trabalho revelando que as tarefas não conseguiam manter o expatriado totalmente absorvido por elas durante o período de expatriação. O estudo revelou também que os expatriados percebem receber maior apoio emocional de seus familiares, amigos e parentes do que suporte prático. Quanto à percepção de suporte organizacional foi observado que eles não acreditam, incondicionalmente, no apoio da organização em que estão inseridos. Os resultados mostraram ainda que os expatriados mantêm uma expectativa positiva quanto ao futuro, sinalizando um senso levemente acentuado de otimismo. Foi possível observar também algumas correlações significativas entre as dimensões de BES e BET. Com base nestes resultados existem indícios de saúde positiva entre os profissionais pesquisados, visto que eles parecem estar de bem com a vida pessoal e relativamente bem no trabalho, mantendo crenças medianas de suporte social e organizacional. Os resultados do estudo poderão contribuir para a compreensão do quadro psicológico dos indivíduos expatriados e, ao mesmo tempo, oferecerem uma melhor fundamentação conceitual para estudiosos do tema, assim como suscitar nos gestores reflexões acerca de ações políticas para o monitoramento da saúde psíquica dos empregados que tenham participado ou estejam participando desse tipo de programa organizacional.(AU)

No. of bitstreams: 1 EDILLE MIRNA ACCARDO.pdf: 508731 bytes, checksum: ebd96440520bc6e37408cdf55b2e3d71 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2013-11-27 / The work-family conflict is a frequent phenomenon in contemporary societies where men and women share family and professional responsibilities, its direction can be unidirectional or bidirectional, i.e., family to work, from work to family or simultaneously from sphere to another. It significantly affects family relationships and relationships in organizations, thus directly affects the well- being of individuals. This study is a quantitative and cross-sectional design. The criterion for the selection of participants was the convenience. The objective of this research was to analyze the relationship between work-family conflict (WFC), subjective well- being (SWB) and well-being at work (WBW).The study involved the participation of 174 workers in a diverse sample of professionals in the private, public and NGO, with 52.9 por cento female, with average age from to 38.29 old years (SD=11.22). To obtain the data it was chosen chose a questionnaire covering all three study variables containing two scales to measure the dimensions of SWB, one of WBW and a scale to measure the WFC/FWC. For data analysis we used the SPSS, version 20. We calculated frequencies, percentages, means, standard deviations, and correlation coefficients, as well as reliability coefficients of the measures used (Cronbachs alpha). The results showed a greater interference of work in the family than in family work. This interference was significant for well- being at work and for the subjective well-being by changing the job involvement and generating feelings of unhappiness, depression and anxiety about their personal achievements, and about the future. The higher the work-family conflict, the lower well- being at work and lower the subjective well-being of those participating. / O conflito trabalho-família é um fenômeno freqüente nas sociedades atuais em que homens e mulheres dividem responsabilidades familiares e profissionais. A sua direção pode ser unidirecional ou bidirecional, ou seja, da família para o trabalho, do trabalho para a família ou simultaneamente de uma esfera para outra, afetando sensivelmente as relações familiares e as relações nas organizações, sendo possível afetar diretamente o bem-estar dos indivíduos. Este é um estudo de natureza quantitativa e com desenho transversal. O critério para a escolha de participantes foi o de conveniência. O objetivo geral desta pesquisa foi analisar as relações entre conflito trabalho-família (CTF), bem-estar subjetivo (BES) e bem-estar no trabalho (BET). O estudo contou com a participação de 174 trabalhadores em uma amostra diversificada de profissionais do segmento privado, público e de ONG, sendo 52,9% do sexo feminino, com idade média de 38,29 anos (DP=11,22). Para a obtenção dos dados optou-se por um questionário abrangendo as três variáveis do estudo contendo duas escalas para aferir as dimensões de BES, uma escala para aferir BET e uma escala para aferir CTF/CFT. Para a análise dos dados foi usado o SPSS, versão 20. Foram calculadas frequências, percentuais, médias, desvios-padrão, e índices de correlação, bem como índices de precisão das medidas usadas (Alpha de Cronbach). Os resultados apontaram para uma maior interferência do trabalho na família do que da família no trabalho. Essa interferência foi significativa tanto para o bem-estar no trabalho, quanto para o bem-estar subjetivo, alterando o envolvimento com o trabalho e gerando sentimentos de infelicidade, desânimo e angústia em relação as suas realizações pessoais, e ao futuro. Quanto maior o conflito trabalho-família, menor é o bem-estar no trabalho e menor é o bem-estar subjetivo desses participantes.

Collective identification and well-being in a community from the Peruvian northern coast / Identificación colectiva y bienestar en una comunidad rural de la costa norte del Perú / Identificação coletiva e bem-estar em uma comunidade rural da costa norte do Peru

Espinosa, Agustín, Freire, Silvana, Ferrándiz, Jimena 25 September 2017 (has links)
This study examines the association between collective identification with a rural communityfrom the northern coast of Peru, and the subjective, psychological and social expressions of well-being. These variables were analyzed in a sample of 80 community residents. Resultsshow significant associations between some components of collective identification and some expressions of well-being. A path analysis suggest that the general positive self-stereotype has a positive effect on collective self-esteem, while the self-stereotype of low efficacy reduces it. Meanwhile, collective self-esteem increases the degree of identification. Self-stereotype components influence different expressions of well-being. Thus, self-stereotype of low efficacy negatively affects social well-being, and self-stereotype of corruption negatively affects psychological well-being. Finally, social well-being influences psychological well-being, which in turn influences subjective well-being. / Este estudio examina las relaciones entre la identificación colectiva con una comunidad rural y las expresiones subjetiva, psicológica y social del bienestar. Estas variables fueron analizadas en 80 pobladores de la comunidad. A través de un modelo estructural se observa que el autoestereotipo positivo general incide positivamente sobre la autoestima colectiva, mientras que el autoestereotipo de baja eficacia, atenúa la misma. Por su parte la autoestima colectiva incrementa el grado de identificación. Los componentes autoestereotípicos presentan relaciones de influencia con distintas expresiones del bienestar. Así, el autoestereotipo de baja eficacia incide negativamente en el bienestar social y el autoestereotipo de corrupción influye negativamente en el bienestar psicológico. Finalmente, se observa que el bienestar social influye en el bienestar psicológico, y este en el bienestar subjetivo. / Este estudo examinou a relação entre a identificação coletiva em uma comunidade rural e asexpressões do bem-estar subjetivo, psicológico e social. Estas variáveis foram analisadas em 80 moradores da comunidade. Através de um modelo estrutural mostra-se que o auto-este- reótipo positivo geral aumenta a autoestima coletiva, enquanto o auto-estereótipo de baixa eficácia, diminui a mesma. Enquanto isso, a autoestima coletiva aumenta o grau de iden- tificação com a comunidade. As dimensões do auto-estereótipo tem relações de influência com as diferentes expressões do bem-estar. Assim, o auto-estereótipo de baixa eficácia afeta negativamente o bem-estar social e o auto-estereótipo de corrupção afeta negativamente o bem-estar psicológico. Finalmente, observa-se que o bem-estar social influencia o bem-estarpsicológico, e este influencia o bem-estar subjetivo.

“En ytlig bransch” : en kvalitativ studie om upplevd hälsa och kroppsuppfattning bland träningsinstruktörer som arbetar på gym / “A superficial profession” : a qualitative study about experienced health and body perception among training instructors

Arvidsson, Emil, Buchholtz, Kristina January 2018 (has links)
Bakgrund: En dålig kroppsuppfattning kan påverka välmåendet negativt och medföra en rad olika konsekvenser för den fysiska och psykiska hälsan. Tidigare forskning kring fenomenet kroppsuppfattning är begränsad, särskilt kopplat till yrkesrollen, vilket gör det svårt att förstå arbetets betydelse för kroppsuppfattningen. Syftet med studien var att undersöka kroppsuppfattning och upplevt välbefinnande bland träningsinstruktörer som arbetar på gym. Detta för att öka förståelsen för möjliga faktorer som kan påverka kroppsuppfattningen och välbefinnandet. Metod: Studien har genomförts med hjälp av ett kvalitativt metodval i form av enskilda semistrukturerade intervjuer där totalt 10 deltagare har fått representera resultatet. Resultat: Sammanfattningsvis visade resultatet att de flesta informanter hade både negativa och positiva tankar om den egna kroppen, men där de positiva tankarna dominerade. Den egna kroppen ansågs vara ett värdefullt redskap där det var viktigt för deltagarna att underhålla sitt yttre då klienter ofta föredrog vältränade träningsinstruktörer. Somliga informanter tävlade även i bodybuilding, vilket tenderade att påverka deras välmående negativt. Det framkom även att det finns en större press kring kvinnors utseende än vad det gör för män ur ett samhällsperspektiv. Deltagarnas syn på hälsa sammanfatttas som ett holistiskt synsätt där flera viktiga komponenter behövde samspela med varandra. Konklusion: På grund av den begränsade forskningen finns därför ett behov för att vidare studera kroppsuppfattning utifrån en kvalitativ och kvantitativ aspekt för att ge en tydligare bild av vilka faktorer som påverkar den. / Background: A poor body perception can affect well being in a negative way and lead to detrimental results for both physical and mental health. Previous research about the phenomenon body perception is limited, especially work related, which makes it harder to understand how work can affect body perception. Purpose: To study body perception and the existence of well being amongst training instructors working at the gym. The objective is to increase the understanding of potential factors that may affect body perception and well being. Method: The study was implemented by using a qualitative methodology in the form of individual semi-structured interviews with a total of ten participants. Results: In summary the result shows that most of the participants experienced both negative and positive thoughts about their own body, although the positive thoughts were more common. A well conditioned body was considered a valuable asset in attracting clients since this was preferred. Some of the participants also competed in bodybuilding; however, this tended to have a negative impact on their well being. In a social setting there is a greater expectation about a women’s appearance than it is for men. The participants view on health can be summarized as a holistic approach where several components contributed. Conclusion: Due to the existence of limited research, there is a need for further studies about body perception from a qualitative and quantitative point of view to give a better picture of possible additional factors that affect it.

Values as multivariate consumer market segmentation discriminators : a subjective well-being approach

Ungerer, Leona M. 04 1900 (has links)
The Living Standards Measure (LSM), a South African marketing segmentation method, is a wealth measure based on standard of living. This research study investigates whether a rationale can be found for the inclusion of value-related variables in this type of multivariate segmentation approach. Schwartz’s (1992; 2006) values model was used to operationalise personal values and individual-level culture – focusing on two of its dimensions, ideocentrism and allocentrism. The current positive psychology research trend manifests in the inclusion of subjective wellbeing (SWB), as measured by satisfaction with life (SWL). The primary objective of this research was to investigate at individual (and not group or societal) level whether values and SWL can be used to discriminate among multivariate consumer segments. Data were collected by means of a survey from a nationally representative sample (n = 2566) of purchase decision-makers (PDMs). The measurement instruments used were the Portrait Values Questionnaire (PVQ) and the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS). A multi-group confirmatory factor analysis (MGCFA) was used to assess the psychometric properties and test the equivalence of the scales across cultural groups. MGCFA was also used to test for differences across LSM groups on the PVQ and SWLS. Centred value scores were used to test for differences between LSM groups in terms of their values and SWL, using MANOVA. The findings supported Schwartz’s theory of basic human values, and small differences were found in the PVQ values between LSM groups using the MGCFA approach. MANOVA analyses showed stronger differences across LSM groups. PDMs in the higher LSM segments were more satisfied with their lives. No significant relationships between values and SWL were found, and the effect of individual-level culture, as a higher-order dimension of four values, showed a small but significant effect on SWL. / Psychology / D.
