Higher Socioeconomic Status Predicts Less Risk of Depression in Adolescence: Serial Mediating Roles of Social Support and Optimism.
2020
Family socioeconomic status (SES) is known to have a powerful influence on adolescent depression. However, the inner mechanisms underlying this association are unclear. Here, we explore this issue by testing the potential mediating roles of social support (interpersonal resource) and optimism (intrapersonal resource), based on the predictions of the Reserve Capacity Model (RCM). Participants were 652 adolescents (age range: 11-20 years old, Mage =14.55 years, SD = 1.82; 338 boys (51.80%)) from two junior and two senior high schools in Wuhan, China. They completed questionnaires measuring family SES, perceived social support, trait optimism, and depression. Results showed, as predicted, (1) …

Optimismin ja tavoiteristiriitojen yhteydet työhyvinvointiin nuorilla esimiehillä
2014
Tässä tutkimuksessa selvitettiin optimismin ja tavoiteristiriitojen yhteyksiä työn imuun ja työuupumukseen nuorilla esimiehillä. Tutkimuksen lähtöoletuksena oli, että optimistit kokevat tavoiteristiriitojen kielteiset vaikutukset hyvinvointiin muita vähäisempinä. Tämän lisäksi korkean optimismin oletettiin olevan yhteydessä vähäisempiin tavoiteristiriitoihin. Tutkimuksessa selvettiin myös tavoiteristiriitojen vaikutuksia työhyvinvointiin. Tutkimuksessa muuttujien vaikutuksia työhyvinvointiin selvitettiin poikkileikkaus- ja pitkittäistutkimusasetelmassa. Tutkimus perustuu vuonna 2006 aloitettuun nuorten esimiesten henkilökohtaisia tavoitteita ja työhyvinvointia kartoittavaan pitkittäisaineis…
Job Resources and Work Engagement: Optimism as Moderator Among Finnish Managers
2014
The aim of the present study was to investigate the moderating role of optimism in the relationship between job resources (organizational climate, job control) and work engagement among Finnish young managers (N = 747). Hierarchical regression analyses showed that both job resources and optimism exerted a positive effect on work engagement and its three dimensions of vigor, dedication, and absorption. The moderation results showed that optimism can diminish the negative impact of low job resources on work engagement. These findings provide evidence to the importance of including personal resources in future research conducted on motivational process. Additionally, these findings provide sig…
