Abstract

Wellbeing is a useful indicator of social progress because its subjectivity accounts for diverse aspirations. The Interplay research project developed a wellbeing framework for Aboriginal people in remote Australia comprising government and community wellbeing priorities. This article describes statistical modelling of community priorities based on surveys administered by community researchers to 841 participants from four remote settlements. Constructs for Aboriginal language literacy, cultural practice, and empowerment were identified through exploratory factor analysis (EFA); structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to confirm relationships. Cultural practice was associated with Aboriginal language literacy and empowerment, which were both associated with wellbeing. Aboriginal literacy and empowerment mediated negative direct relationships between cultural practice and wellbeing. Direct relationships were significant only for females for whom empowerment and Aboriginal literacy appear key to enhancing wellbeing.
澳大利亚偏远地区原住民福祉优先事项之间互动关系的量化
幸福是社会进步的一个有用指标,因为它的主观性反映了不同的愿望。Interplay研究项目为澳大利亚偏远地区的原住民制定了一个福利框架,其中包括政府和社区的福利优先事项。本文描述了基于社区研究人员对来自四个偏远定居点的841名参与者进行的调查,对社区优先事项进行的统计建模。通过探索性因素分析确定了土著语言识字、文化实践和赋权的结构;使用结构方程建模(SEM)来确认关系。文化实践与土著语言识字和赋权有关,这两者都与幸福感有关。土著人识字和赋权介导了文化实践与福祉之间的负面直接关系。只有对女性来说,直接关系才是重要的,对她们来说,赋权和原住民识字似乎是提高幸福感的关键。
