Feeling good! Consumers' associations to feeling good related to food, personal care and home-care products in 14 countries worldwide
2017
International audience; Interest in understanding how consumer goods contribute to perceived wellbeing has increased rapidly in recent years. This study investigates consumers' associations to feeling good (FG), as well as FG related to food, personal care and home-care products. Worldwide consumers from 5 continents, 14 countries and 10 languages (N=9,868, n=588-800 per country) responded to a web-based free word association test in February 2016. To ensure culturally representative answers, only respondents declaring having lived in their country their whole life were selected for the survey. The task started with the elicitation of four words associated to FG. Then, successive sections i…

Peer effects in the light of students interactions and the subjective dimensions of school experience
2011
This Thesis addresses the issue of peer-effects in the context of school. From analysis of a large database produced by a Chilean national study (SIMCE 2004), this work investigates the mechanisms through which pupils with different levels of scholastic, human and cultural capital influence each other. These influences seem present for a diverse range of school outcomes, including academic achievement. Drawing on the literature produced by different disciplinary approaches —sociology, economics, social psychology and education— the study focuses on ways of identifying and measuring peer-effects. The presence of subjective dimensions capable of reflecting, in part, the school experience of p…
Richard Bradley - étude de quelques illustrations pré-évolutionnistes
2015
Richard Bradley (1688-1732) is an English botanist more particularly known for his books on gardening and exotic plants. He published in 1721 a treatise entitled A Philosophical Account of the Works of Nature, in which he offers the reader a complete and systematic description of the natural world organized in the best way by a benevolent God according to the principle of the Great Chain of Being. He discovers plenty of evidence of a divine order via the use of the microscope and the recent discoveries on plant sexual reproduction. However, a study of some of the illustrations reveals some doubts about the Great Chain of Being, notably regarding the place of man within nature.
The notion of physical and moral well-being : relationship and interaction in George Eliot's literary works
2020
This dissertation analyzes the concept of well-being in the writings of George Eliot in order to account for the question of the individual in his/her relationships with the other and others such as animals and the environment so as to obtain physical, moral as well as personal and social well-being along the resulting ethics and aesthetics. For the novelist, well-being finds its source in the individuals’ suffering in British nineteenth-century society. Conceiving well-being from Eliot’s point of view therefore means giving priority to individual relationships and interactions. This relational vision of well-being amounts to considering the social regularities related to community life, th…
Effects of an Online Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Intervention on Children’s Quality of Life
2022
AbstractThe present study examined if an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)–based online intervention for parents had indirect effects on their children’s quality of life mediated by changes in parental well-being, psychological flexibility and mindfulness skills. Participants were 74 adults, who either received an ACT-based guided online intervention or were allocated to the wait list control group, and their children (n = 66) who had type 1 diabetes or functional disabilities. Structural equation modeling (SEM) and a bias-corrected bootstrap approach were applied to examine the indirect effects of the treatment on children’s quality of life through changes in parents’ well-being and …
Bienestar Subjetivo de los Adolescentes: Un Estudio Comparativo entre Argentina y Brasil
2012
ResumenEl objetivo del presente estudio es conocer y comparar los niveles de bienestar subjetivo de adolescentes argentinos y brasileños. La muestra está compuesta por 640 adolescentes de ambos sexos con edades entre los 12 y 16 años, siendo el 46.3% argentinos y el 53.7% brasileños. Se han utilizado tres escalas: el Personal Wellbeing Index (PWI), la Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) y la Brief Multidimensional Students’ Life Satisfaction Scale (BMSLSS). El PWI y la BMSLSS mostraron puntuaciones más altas en los adolescentes argentinos (MPWI=82.42y MBMSLSS=41.19) que en los brasileños (MPWI=80.88y MBMSLSS=40.09), y mientras que la SWLS mostró resultados semejantes (MSWLS-Arg=31.50y MSWLS…
Emotional and behavioral difficulties in adolescence: Relationship with emotional well-being, affect, and academic performance
2018
Abstract The main purpose of this study was to examine difficulties in behavioral and emotional adjustment and their relationship to subjective well-being, positive and negative affect, and academic performance in a representative sample of nonclinical adolescents. The sample consisted of a total of 1,664 participants (M = 16.12 years, SD = 1.36, range 14-19 years), selected through stratified cluster sampling. The instruments used were the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ), the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule for Children (PANAS-C), the Personal Wellbeing Index-School Children (PWI-SC), the ad hoc academic performance questionnaire, and the Oviedo Scale of Response Infre…
The structure of mental well-being and its relationship with generativity in middle adulthood and the beginning of late adulthood
2023
Previous studies have linked higher generativity with better mental well-being. However, most of these studies investigated the predictive role of generativity in well-being, while the converse relation, that is, how mental well-being contributes to generativity, has been ignored. This study first investigated the structure and stability of multidimensional mental well-being, that is, emotional (including happiness, life satisfaction, and positive and negative mood), psychological, and social well-being and the absence of depressive feelings, from age 42 to 61. Second, longitudinal associations between mental well-being and generativity were examined. The data ( n = 301) utilized in this s…
Ketone body 3-hydroxybutyrate as a biomarker of aggression
2021
Human aggression is a complex behaviour, the biological underpinnings of which remain poorly known. To gain insights into aggression biology, we studied relationships with aggression of 11 low-molecular-weight metabolites (amino acids, ketone bodies), processed using 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. We used a discovery sample of young adults and an independent adult replication sample. We studied 725 young adults from a population-based Finnish twin cohort born 1983–1987, with aggression levels rated in adolescence (ages 12, 14, 17) by multiple raters and blood plasma samples at age 22. Linear regression models specified metabolites as the response variable and aggression ratings…
