“…The present study shows a significant difference between the t-test means of the private and the government group in items such as: the permission to go out, permission to go home when possible and permission for having parties. According to Wannebo and Wichstrom (2010), social support is found to be directly related to mental health, and to act as a buffer in stressful times (Compas, Slavin, Wagner, & Vannatta, 1986;Herman-Stahl & Petersen, 1999). Denying the students permission to go home when possible, permission to going out or having parties is akin to denying them social support.…”

“…Relatively few studies have focused upon the well being of students residing in school or college dorms. Indeed, research upon this area is a relatively new interest (Rogers & Tennison, 2009;Bell & Bromnick,1998;Wannebo & Wichstrom, 2010).…”

“…An interesting finding in nearly all of these studies is that female students, when living in dorms or hostels, face more problems than male students. For example, Wannebo and Wichstrom (2010), who investigated whether high school students living in lodgings were at an increased risk of internalizing problems, report that several studies of homesickness among university students show that females experience more homesickness and depression than males (Archer, et al 1998;Stroebe, et al 2002).…”

“…In fact, Gerdes and Mallinckrodt (1994) found that social and emotional adjustment difficulties among first-year college students were actually better predictors of attrition than were academic difficulties. According to Wannebo and Wichstrom (2010), social support has a positive correlation with psychological disorders/mental health, and to act as a protective variable, moderating the relationship between life events and disorder (Compas, et al 1986;Herman-Stahl & Petersen, 1999). Living in a family and being with friends usually implies being involved in a variety of daily activities, such as socializing in the family, doing family chores, or leisure activities with friends.…”

This study explores the interplay of environmental satisfaction, levels of psychological well being and life satisfaction in female college students of government and private hostels. A total of 86 female colleges students were selected from government hostel and private hostels. The Satisfaction with Life Scale by Diener (1984), the Affect Balance scale by Bradburn (1969) and the Hostel Environment Rating Scale by Shaukat & Muazzam, (2010) were administered on the sample to measure life satisfaction, psychological wellbeing and satisfaction with the hostel environment, respectively. Results indicated that the private hostel group was higher in psychological wellbeing and had higher scores of satisfaction with the hostel environment. (t (86)= 4.41, p<.05.) However, satisfaction with life scales showed insignificant results (t (86)= 6.74, p<0.01). Appropriate tests were applied to analyze the data. Besides discussing the results, the implication of the study was also discussed.

“…An increase in mental health problems in adolescents, especially among girls, during the last 20 years has been identified (Bor, Dean, Najman, & Hayatbakhsh, 2014; Collishaw, 2015; Von Soest & Wichstrøm, 2014). Likewise, a Norwegian study found that students living in lodgings during senior high school were particularly vulnerable to stress and internalizing problems compared to students living with their parents (Wannebo & Wichstrøm, 2010). Few studies have been published on adolescents moving from home to attend school at such an early age.…”

Many 15- to 16-year-old adolescents in Scandinavian countries have to move away from home to live in lodgings during senior high school. This transition might affect the adolescents’ well-being and mental health, with the risk of dropping out of school and/or potential mental health problems. This study aims to explore what adolescents experience to be of importance and helpful for their well-being through their lives in lodgings during senior high school. Qualitative, in-depth interviews were performed among 21 adolescents from the ages of 16 to 18 of both genders living in lodgings in a Norwegian county. Eleven interviews were performed in 2008 and 10 interviews performed in 2016. Interviews were analysed using qualitative content analysis. Two main categories and six subcategories were identified as important for well-being: (1) Conditions for well-being, me and my surroundings: (a) practical support; (b) relational support; (c) convenient housing; and (d) supportive class environment. (2) Strategies for well-being, me and myself: (a) practical strategies, and (b) strategies facing challenges. Adolescents living in lodgings experience several conditions in their surroundings to be of importance for their well-being, based on which they develop their own strategies to feel well. Implications towards promoting and strengthen their well-being are discussed.

<span lang="EN-US">This research aims to identify the role of family and school environments in predicting emotional intelligence and student well-being. It also examines whether or not emotional intelligence acts as a mediator. A total of 500 senior high school students from 16 private high schools in Pemalang District, Indonesia, completed this survey in the 2020-2021 academic year. Data analysis was carried out using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analysis with Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS). The results show that family environment affects the fulfilment of student well-being. Emotional intelligence was not an essential mediator in the relationship between the family environment and student well-being. The school environment also had a decisive role in fulfilling student well-being. Emotional intelligence was an essential mediator between the school environment and student well-being. Student well-being should be realized. It is necessary to address the welfare of teachers in the school environment and the awareness of parents in the family to assist students. Teachers’ and students’ interests are closely related. When the welfare of teachers is prioritized, it will improve harmonious relationships in the school environment. Likewise, when parents accompany their children at home, the children will feel more prosperous.</span>
