“…This study is a prospective inquiry into the real-time impact of the legalization of same-sex marriage on Taiwanese LGB young adults' relational well-being. Given that an individual's relational well-being is characterized by complexity, temporality, variability, and contextual specificity (White & Jha, 2014), these often-elusive properties embedded in a person's relational context can be better captured by a qualitative method. While quantitative methods remain dominant in the area of policy evaluation, narrative research that aims to reveal the thematic and storied nature of personal experiences can inform the policy-making process by elucidating the complex interplay between a person's daily, lived experience and social-political structure (Frost & Ouellette, 2011).…”

In 2019, Taiwan became the first country in Asia to legalize same-sex marriage. Such an historic shift in the legal landscape toward marriage equality in Taiwan presents a timely and unique opportunity to investigate the interplay of a lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB)-affirmative policy (i.e., marriage equality) and the well-being of LGB people. Existing quantitative studies on same-sex marriage have yielded compelling evidence about its positive effects on LGB individuals’ psychosocial health. However, no research has examined the relational dimension of the effect associated with same-sex marriage policy. Furthermore, a relational focus requires a researcher to solicit narratives from LGB young adults’ significant others (e.g., parents). This research project seeks to address these gaps by addressing whether legalization of same-sex marriage in Taiwan will improve Taiwanese LGB young adults’ relational well-being. Qualitative data were collected from 30 in-depth, dyadic interviews with 15 LGB young Taiwanese adults aged between 18 and 39 years and their parents. Each participant took part in two interviews conducted before and after the passage of the legalization of same-sex marriage, respectively. Transcribed interviews will be analyzed following an interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) where we seek insight into a social actor’s inner perceptions in a wider context of social relationships. Multiple measures will be undertaken to ensure study rigor. Findings from this study will add to the evaluative endeavors of marriage equality policy enacted in Taiwan by highlighting relational well-being and the perspectives of LGB young adults’ relevant others.

“…Further, interdependence can be understood as a form of increasing well-being within the family. Especially in non-Western studies, people rarely refer to themselves alone but include the well-being of those who are close to them (White, 2015). Even in those situations where children and youth work, their ability to earn money at a young age should not be confused with possession of autonomy or self-determinacy, as they are rarely completely free from dependence on others (Abebe, 2019).…”

‘She does not make me do it, but I want to help her’: Relational family interdependence of street-connected youth in Recife, Brazil

Despite most street-connected youth in Brazil having existing bonds with their families, their family relations have not received enough attention in research. This article explores how street-connected youth describe their family relations and what meanings they attach to their families. Drawing on ethnographic data collected with 10 street-connected youths aged between 12 and 17 in Recife, Brazil, the results demonstrate that the relational family life of street-connected youth consists of interconnected supportive and ambivalent emotional and material interdependence, and this should not be ignored in policy and practice regarding them.

“…Although wellbeing is often measured as an outcome (e.g., Diener et al, 2010;Keyes et al, 2008;Tennant et al, 2007), a small pocket of literature has questioned whether wellbeing is best conceptualised as a process (Atkinson, 2013;Atkinson et al, 2012;Gillett-Swan & Sargeant, 2014;White, 2015). Aligned with the two sections above, it has been suggested that wellbeing is "socially and culturally constructed, rooted in a particular time and place" (White, 2015, p.5).…”

“…This means that how people experience and evaluate their lives cannot be separated from the cultural and social environments in which they operate (Crivello et al, 2009). Reflecting this, Atkinson and colleagues argue that wellbeing is an active and dynamic process that involves the individual and the social and environmental contexts in which they are situated (e.g., Atkinson, 2013;Atkinson et al, 2012;White, 2015). Further, Crivello et al (2009) suggest that wellbeing is a construct that changes over time as individuals progress through life, influenced by various socio-cultural contexts through which they move.…”

“…Finally, although wellbeing is context-dependant and how people experience and evaluate their lives cannot be separated from the cultural and social environments in which they operate (e.g., Crivello et al, 2009;White, 2015), it is important to remember that wellbeing is a universal human experience that is crucial to optimal functioning across all cultures (e.g., Lambert et al, 2020;Lomas, 2021). Recognising this, there have been recent calls for the development of a more global view of wellbeing that is representative of individuals and societies worldwide (Lambert et al, 2020).…”

Protecting and Promoting the Wellbeing of High-Performance Swimmers

The aims of the present thesis were two-fold. First, to gain an in-depth understanding of high-performance swimmers’ experiences of wellbeing. Second, to develop, implement, and evaluate an intervention aimed at protecting and promoting the wellbeing of high-performance swimmers. Study 1 used an interpretive description methodology to explore swimmers’ wellbeing experiences, in terms of how it was understood, experienced, and recognised. Findings suggested that wellbeing was understood and experienced in relation to personal values and goals, and could be recognised via numerous affective, cognitive, and behavioural indicators. Study 2 used a grounded theory methodology to develop a substantive theory of the process through which participation in high-performance swimming affects athlete wellbeing. The resultant theory illustrated how a dominant performance narrative influenced the development and maintenance of an exclusive swimmer identity that was tied to performance. Subsequently, transitions were highlighted as critical points where wellbeing was likely to be affected, due to the increased potential for change and uncertainty to impact on performance (and therefore identity). However, proactive coping strategies (e.g., planning, social support) were shown to minimise the impact on wellbeing. Informed by the findings of the first two studies, Study 3 used an action research methodology to develop, implement, and evaluate the delivery and effectiveness of a multi-component online wellbeing intervention. Findings suggested the intervention was effective in increasing knowledge and skills, improving self-awareness, and provided reassurance that led to increased confidence in coping abilities. Such outcomes were perceived to be facilitated by the delivery of timely and relevant content, the inclusion of a professional swimmer, use of real-world examples, and opportunities for self-reflection and interaction with peers. However, findings also illustrated some key challenges related to delivering a workshop-based intervention, such as ensuring content is relevant and useful for all, and delivering workshops at a time that suits everyone, in a format that fits individual preferences.
