Applied to European data, there is a monotonic relationship between the job quality index and psychological wellbeing. However, there is a distinctly large increase in psychological wellbeing, and in several measures of work-related wellbeing, between workers in the lowest decile and those in the second lowest decile of job quality. We therefore propose that ‘bad jobs’ should be designated as those in lowest decile. Using this threshold gives a ‘bad jobs’/ ‘other jobs’ dichotomy that discriminates on wellbeing far better than definitions based only on low earnings and job insecurity. Using multi-level probit analysis, we find that bad jobs are more common in poorer countries and in countries with weaker labour regulation. Three findings differentiate the distributional pattern of bad jobs from that of low-earnings jobs: first, the prevalence of bad jobs is greater in large establishments; second, there is no gender gap in the prevalence of bad jobs; third, working in the private sector raises the chance of being in a bad job but not of being in a low earnings job.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51483,"journal":{"name":"Applied Research in Quality of Life","volume":"19 6","pages":"3305 - 3334"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s11482-024-10384-z.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142789338","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the roles of particular mental states, including overall evaluative subjective wellbeing and specific forms of mental distress such as depression or anxiety, have not hitherto been disentangled. Using an official representative population survey, we show that different forms of mental distress are associated with single versus multiple accident prevalence within a year. Anxiety (a lack of calmness) is strongly associated with having an accident. By contrast, conditional on having had at least one accident, overall life satisfaction is more strongly associated with having multiple accidents than are anxiety, depression or overall mental health. The relationship is n-shaped so that people with moderately low wellbeing have the highest multiple accident probability. These results are robust to the exclusion of respondents for whom reverse causality may be present and to the inclusion of variables representing other risky behaviours and representing social isolation. The findings imply that specific forms of intervention are likely to be needed to reduce accidents for people with moderately low subjective wellbeing who may engage in habitual risky behaviours that result in multiple accidents.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51483,"journal":{"name":"Applied Research in Quality of Life","volume":"19 6","pages":"3279 - 3304"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s11482-024-10375-0.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142789275","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is because wellbeing is multi-dimensional and variable in terms of the relative importance of domains, the attributes and indicators used to evaluate domains, and the relative importance of those attributes and indicators. Consequently, people’s preferences regarding the trade-offs that must be made between domains, and between attributes within domains, are exceptionally diverse. We use an idiographic approach, Judgement Analysis, to quantify people’s preferences regarding trade-offs within, and between, well-being domains using green space, water quality, cultural identity, social connectedness. We show that Judgement Analysis has the potential at the programme or project scale to usefully quantify differences in the relative importance people place on well-being domains and to quantifying differences in the relative importance of the cues they use to evaluate well-being with respect to a domain. Our results make explicit the extensive diversity in people’s perspectives on well-being that is often hidden in the popular nomothetic approaches to measuring well-being.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51483,"journal":{"name":"Applied Research in Quality of Life","volume":"19 6","pages":"3253 - 3277"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s11482-024-10370-5.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142789187","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While cumulative risk models theorize the accumulation of risks amplifies harm, recent researchers employing latent class analysis (LCA) seeks to comprehend the impacts of complex risk profiles on youth. However, the use of LCA remains sparse in studies involving Chinese adolescents. This research examined a sample of 2,889 Chinese secondary school students, assessing six family risk factors, namely, parental divorce, parent–child separation, financial hardship, low parental education, diminished family intimacy, and family conflict. The study also deployed indigenous measures to evaluate ten dimensions of mental health. Through LCA, distinct family risk profiles were identified and subsequently analyzed in comparison to mental health indicators utilizing ANOVA tests. The analysis delineated five distinct risk profiles: No Risk, Parental Education Risk, Family Detachment Risk, Family Conflict Risk, and Cumulative Risk. Remarkably, the Family Conflict Risk profile correlated with the most adverse mental health outcomes. Interestingly, parent–child separation appeared to confer certain benefits. Moreover, girls and older adolescents manifested exacerbated symptoms, which were amplified by their interplay with family risks. The study elucidates that specific configurations of family adversity, particularly those revolving around conflict and detachment, have a pronounced impact on the mental well-being of Chinese adolescents, while implying separation from parents potentially offered a protective effect. Consequently, interventions targeted at parents and designed to alleviate destructive family dynamics and encourage healthier relationships can be crucial in promoting mental health outcomes in this demographic.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51483,"journal":{"name":"Applied Research in Quality of Life","volume":"19 6","pages":"3189 - 3218"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142789340","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper presents an overview of the findings stemming from a qualitative study that delved into the repercussions of microaggressions within the classroom on racialized students in a Canadian university. The study employed a semi-structured interview guide for data collection, with the goal of shedding light on the experiences and effects of racism within the classroom. The study's results underscore the profound impact of microaggressions on racialized students, revealing a cascade of mental and emotional challenges triggered by these experiences. Furthermore, the research exposes how microaggressions can profoundly disrupt students' sense of belonging and dampen their level of engagement and participation in class activities. By contributing to the existing body of literature on racism in university settings, this study provokes important questions about the tangible manifestation of inclusivity and diversity values in the everyday dynamics of the classroom. It highlights a critical need for academic institutions to go beyond rhetoric and implement tangible measures that foster a truly inclusive and equitable educational environment. This study's implications extend to the domain of learning for racialized students, emphasizing the need to address microaggressions and racism within the classroom to ensure that all students have an equal opportunity to thrive within the academic sphere. The study encourages further exploration of these issues and calls for proactive steps to create an educational landscape where diversity is celebrated and microaggressions find no place.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51483,"journal":{"name":"Applied Research in Quality of Life","volume":"19 6","pages":"3169 - 3187"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142227252","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
