This study aims to explore the mediating roles of multidimensional parenting behaviors in the association between parental aggravation and child externalizing problems, as well as the serial mediating effect of child self-control among young children in Singaporean from a nationally representative sample. The sample included 3,964 children (Mean age = 3.43 years; 49.82% girls) from the Wave 1 (2018–2019) and Wave 2 (2020–2021) of the Singapore Longitudinal Early Development Study (SG-LEADS).

We found that parenting behaviors and child self-control sequentially mediated the relationship between parental aggravation and child externalizing problems. Moreover, both negative and positive parenting behaviors functioned as mediators in this relationship. This study significantly contributes to the existing literature on parenting and child development by simultaneously examining parental aggravation, parenting behaviors, child self-control, and child externalizing problems in an Asian context.

Two cross-lagged network analyses were conducted (Wave 1 and Wave 2), alongside a longitudinal network analysis, encompassing 888 students aged 12 to 16 years (M = 12.61; SD = 1.79) from five secondary educational institutions. The results from both cross-lagged networks at both time points revealed significant associations among overall life satisfaction (OLS) and the various domains of life satisfaction, thereby reinforcing the central role of OLS within the network architecture of adolescent well-being. Regarding the affective component of SWB, “happy” emerged as the affect demonstrating the highest level of influence and impact at both time points. Additionally, a robust temporal consistency of the network structure was observed. In the longitudinal network analysis, the trajectories of the variables across time indicated that forms of cyberbullying, specifically “exclusion” and “harassment,” were prospectively and negatively related to “satisfaction with friends” and “satisfaction with body image.” The results of these findings are discussed in terms of their practical implications for the prevention and intervention of cyberbullying in adolescent population.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51483,"journal":{"name":"Applied Research in Quality of Life","volume":"19 5","pages":"2967 - 2989"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s11482-024-10363-4.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142227257","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}

The transition to retirement potentially introduces a destabilising element towards one’s financial, health, emotional, cognitive, motivational, and social resources. This paper examines the relationships between these components of the retirement resources inventory, home environment, quality marriage and subjective well-being which consists of life satisfaction, positive affect, negative affect and happiness elements. The study utilized the purposive sampling method where questionnaires were administered to 650 retirees at senior activity centers with high memberships and at states with high old-age dependency ratios. The respondents’ demographics reflect Malaysia’s ethnic composition, with half of them with secondary education. The constructs were developed using exploratory factor analysis and further confirmed through structural equation modelling (partial least squares). Analysis indicates that all seven retirement resources significantly contribute to retirees’ subjective well-being. Retirees’ subjective well-being is strongly related to having a home environment that is elderly friendly. Quality marriage mediates the relationship between retirement resources inventory and subjective well-being, as marriages mean more financial and social resources are pooled together in addition to the positive emotions that exist in the union. The findings implied that relevant authorities should increase institutional and public awareness of the urgency for future retirees to prepare, maintain as well as gain these retirement resources before they reach retirement age. This allows for the retired population to better cope with challenges brought by ageing and old age as Malaysia moves rapidly towards becoming an aged nation by the year 2044.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51483,"journal":{"name":"Applied Research in Quality of Life","volume":"19 5","pages":"2933 - 2966"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142227258","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}

The analysis demonstrate that the sum score of society-related fears is significantly associated with higher levels of anxiety and depression. Particularly concerns about poverty, digitalization and pandemics are associated with higher anxiety and depression scores. Further explorations show that specific fears are intermingled with political ideologies, i.e. people fear different societal developments according to their ideological standpoints. Politically left-leaning individuals regard climate change and rising right-wing extremism as more threatening, while politically right-leaning individuals’ fears relate more strongly to migrants, terror and crime. The fears with the largest negative effect on mental health are poverty and armed conflicts for individuals who identify as left and digitalization for individuals who identify as right.
