The substantial correlation between capability and QOL has been established by numerous previous studies. This research primarily explores aspects related to capability. The goals of this study were manifold. First, we aimed to investigate the link between poverty and various capability variables. Second, we intended to assess the relationship between capability and QOL. The third objective was to introduce grit as a mediator in the capability-QOL relationship. Lastly, we explored the comparison between two classes within the overall model. The Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analysis indicated that capability variables do have an impact on QOL in the baseline model. However, when comparing models, the one representing individuals under the poverty line showed no significant relationship between capability and QOL. The introduction of a mediation variable led to the identification of a fully mediated model in the context of poverty within this study. The distinctive contribution of this research is highlighted by the mediation findings between the two models, underscoring the nuanced interplay between capability, grit, and QOL in the backdrop of economic challenges.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51483,"journal":{"name":"Applied Research in Quality of Life","volume":"20 2","pages":"543 - 571"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145162202","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 study used two-wave panel data from Hong Kong (<i>N</i> = 1,006), where more than half of the population identifies as having no religion and all major world faiths coexist peacefully. We employed the cross-lagged panel model (CLPM) to examine the longitudinal associations between economic poverty, subjective poverty, and life satisfaction while exploring the buffering effect of religion. The results of CLPM showed that subjective poverty had a long-term negative impact on life satisfaction, highlighting the pivotal role of social comparison in influencing individuals’ life satisfaction. Furthermore, religion was found to buffer the temporal association between subjective poverty and life satisfaction; this buffering effect persists within religious groups, regardless of religious attendance. This paper highlights the significance of subjective poverty in influencing life satisfaction and contributes to our understanding of whether and how religion matters to people’s life satisfaction among those experiencing poverty.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51483,"journal":{"name":"Applied Research in Quality of Life","volume":"20 2","pages":"523 - 542"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s11482-025-10422-4.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145170822","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}

Previous studies have shown that parental phubbing is positively correlated with adolescent short video addiction. However, little is known about the mediating and moderating mechanisms behind the relationship between adult offspring’s phubbing behavior and parental short video addiction. This study, grounded in interpersonal acceptance-rejection theory, investigates the direct relationship between adult offspring’s phubbing behavior and short video addiction in the elderly. It proposes a model where loneliness mediates and neuroticism moderates this relationship. A survey encompassing 684 elderly individuals (aged 55 to 83) from Sichuan-Chongqing region of China was conducted, assessing phubbing behaviors, short video addiction, loneliness, and neuroticism. The findings reveal that adult offspring’s phubbing positively predicts short video addiction in the elderly, with loneliness partially mediating this relationship. Furthermore, the level of neuroticism in the elderly modulates the link between loneliness and addiction. Specifically, individuals with high neuroticism exhibit greater addiction under low loneliness, while no significant addiction differences are observed under high loneliness. These results affirm the connection between offspring phubbing and elderly short video addiction, offering insights into problematic smartphone use among the elderly from an intergenerational perspective and guiding future prevention and intervention strategies for short video addiction.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51483,"journal":{"name":"Applied Research in Quality of Life","volume":"20 2","pages":"439 - 458"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145162704","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 study investigates the interplay of work environment, doctor-patient relationships, media influence, and self-reported health among healthcare professionals. This study employed a stratified sampling approach to survey 8386 healthcare professionals from 40 hospitals across 8 provinces in China. Gaussian Graphical Modeling was used to analyze factors impacting well-being, including physical and mental health, work environment, doctor-patient relationship, and media influence. Network visualization identified key nodes, and the accuracy and stability of the network were assessed. The work environment emerged as a critical bridging factor in the interconnected network. Strong correlations were observed within the work environment cluster, covering aspects related to career, financial, and working conditions. Mental health issues like anxiety and depression also demonstrated moderate co-occurrence. Centrality analysis further identified key nodes associated with job satisfaction, physical fatigue, and mental health symptoms. Work environment plays a central factor interconnecting healthcare professionals' mental health, physical health, doctor-patient relationships, and media influence. Key insights include strong correlations within the work environment cluster, co-occurrence of mental health issues, and the close relationship between physical and psychological well-being. Addressing workplace stressors, fostering positive doctor-patient relationships, and mitigating negative media portrayals can contribute to a healthier environment for healthcare professionals.

However, variable-centered approaches provide insufficient information on the different well-being experiences that diverse workers may have experienced during COVID-19. Furthermore, researchers have understudied positive well-being in workers’ general lives and work during COVID-19. We used latent trajectory analysis, a person-centered analysis, to explore diverse well-being trajectories Canadian workers experienced during the first few months of COVID-19 across distress, flourishing, presenteeism, and thriving at work measures. We hypothesized that: H1) Intragroup differences would be present on each well-being indicator at study onset; H2) Different longitudinal trajectories would emerge for each well-being indicator (i.e., some workers’ scores would get better, some would get worse, and some would remain the same); and H3) Factors at different ecological levels (self, social, workplace, pandemic) would predict membership to the different trajectories.

Providing some support for H2, distress and presenteeism trajectories improved over time or stayed stagnant; flourishing and thriving at work trajectories worsened or stayed stagnant. Providing some support for H3, self- (gender, age, disability status, trait resilience), social- (family functioning), workplace- (employment status, financial strain, sense of job security), and pandemic-related (perceived vulnerability to COVID-19) factors significantly predicted well-being trajectory membership.
