Background: Policemen all over the world are tasked with the heavy work of maintaining social security. With the imbalance in mentality brought about by high population density and social transformation, the work of the Chinese police is particularly hard. As the window of demographic dividend is closing and the number of newborns is insufficient, China has started to adjust its established fertility policy to encourage a family to have two children. However, the results have not met the expectations of the policy adjustment. It is generally believed that factors such as high work pressure, high parenting costs, and low levels of happiness may be the main reasons for low fertility intentions. Studying this typical population of police officers may explore the relationship between work stress, happiness, and reproductive concerns, and provide evidence of Chinese sample.Objectives: To explore the relations between job burnout, subjective well-being, and generativity concern in Chinese police officers.Methods: The study used a cross-sectional survey to collect data from 494 police officers from H city in China. The participants completed the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), the Family Adaptability and Cohesion Scale (FACESII), the Loyola Generativity Scale (LGS), and the Satisfaction with life scale (SWLS). Moderated mediation effect models assessed the association between job burnout, subjective well-being, and generativity concern.Results: Job burnout had a significant negative predictive effect on both subjective well-being and generativity concern, and subjective well-being played a mediating role between job burnout and generativity concern. In addition, family intimacy and adaptability had a significant negative moderating effect between subjective well-being and generativity concern. In a conclusion, there is a moderated mediating effect between job burnout and generativity concern.Conclusion: Subjective well-being played a mediating role between job burnout and generativity concern.
Objective To develop an instrument to measure the pupils' psychological Suzhi. Methods Based on literature review, interviews data and expert evaluation, a three-dimensional theoretical concept was formed. 464 questionnaires from grade 3-6 were surveyed in the first test which contains 10 items, and the data was analyzed by reliability and validity. The formal scale was refined by employing item analysis, exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Result Psychological Suzhi Observer-rating Questionnaire consists of 6 items and was composed of three dimensions including cognition, personality and adaptation. EFA showed that the scale had good fit index: X2 / df=2.337, GFI=0.987, TLI=0.959, CFI=0.984, NFI=0.972, IFI=0.984, RMSEA= 0.027. The internal consistency of Psychological Suzhi Observer-rating Questionnaire for Grade 3~6 Pupils was 0.829, and the re-test coefficients were 0.841, There were significant positive correlations between the total score and subscales (r=0.79~0.82). The convergent validity with psychological suzhi self-rating scale was ranged from 0.59 to 0.782. Conclusion The questionnaire has good reliability and validity that could be an effective tool to assess Psychological Suzhi of pupils.
Currently, China's new urbanization pays special attention to the happiness of residents, and due to that, the study surveyed 1,000 urban and rural residents with "Brief Version of the Subjective well-being Scale for Chinese Residents", and the outcome indicated that factors like gender, education as well as household registration affect residents' subjective well-being. Additionally, it was also noted that there are apparent differences between urban and rural residents in the area of contentment, social confidence, self-worth, and physical health.
