Risk of Contracting COVID-19, Personal Resources and Subjective Well-Being among Healthcare Workers: The Mediating Role of Stress and Meaning-Making

2021

The latest research suggests that the relationships between the risk of contracting COVID-19, personal resources and subjective well-being have rather an indirect character and can include the occurrence of mediating factors related to meaning-making processes and stress experiences. Protection motivation theory offers a theoretical paradigm that enables these associations to be thoroughly investigated and understood.

Exploring Subjective Well-Being: Insights for researchers and practitioners

This dissertation aims at improving our knowledge about Subjective Well-Being (either in theory and in practice) by addressing the crucial question of which mechanisms explain people’s sense of well-being. We support the general hypothesis that while economic growth plays an essential role in increasing people’s life standards, the subjective well-being is in part explained by noneconomic factors.These include individual psychological traits, generalised levels of trust, social support and involvement in social activities. The results of this thesis, may serve as a reference point for educators, researchers, policy-makers, and all those working in the field.

Body dissatisfaction negatively predicted subjective vitality, whereas perceived physical ability positively predicted subjective vitality. These results support the inclusion of LTPA in intervention programs t…

Predictive variables of happiness in private sports centres

2018

The psychological investigation of happiness has increased significantly in recent decades to the point of becoming one of the most researched behaviours in the new field of Positive Psychology. However, relatively little progress has been made in happiness research and tests to evaluate happiness, and the Oxford Happiness Inventory (OHI), built by Argyle, Martin and Crossland (1989), is among the best-known and most accredited. Happiness has represented a challenging and frustrating quest for humanity, as there is no consensus on its definition. Bearing in mind that there are many ambiguous factors that can affect the happiness of the individual, this study focuses on analysing the variabl…

2015

Šī darba mērķis ir noskaidrot saistību starp reliģiju, apmierinātību ar dzīvi un pašvērtējumu. Apmierinātība ar dzīvi sevī ietver laimi, subjektīvo labklājību un pozitīvas emocijas. Šī darba ietvaros vairāk tiks apskatīta subjektīvā labklājība. Reliģija ir ticība kam mistiskam , kas sevī ietver reliģisku normu ievērošanu, rituālus, ticību un būšanu reliģiskā kopienā. Starp subjektīvo labklājību un reliģiju pastāv pozitīva korelācija. Pašvērtējums ir cilvēka subjektīvs viedoklis par sevi pašu, ,kas var nesakrist ar citu domām par viņu. Tika secināts, ka reliģijas skalas pozitīvi korelē savā starpā, kā arī pozitīva korelācija novērojama starp pašvērtējumu un apmierinātību ar dzīvi, bet negatī…
