“…Furthermore, individuals’ life satisfaction depends not only on objective metrics, such as health and economic status, but on various subjective experiences that vary by individual ( Reinecke and Trepte, 2014 ; Dienlin et al, 2017 ). Loneliness is a negative emotional response to a discrepancy between the desired and achieved quality of social interactions, which can lead to low life satisfaction ( Jiang et al, 2017 ; Unanue et al, 2017 ).…”

“…This sense of belonging may make them feel that they are not isolated, which is related less loneliness ( Satici, 2018 ); rather, that they have numerous friends. With the resulting positive life attitude, they tend to have relatively high life satisfaction ( Jiang et al, 2017 ; Yildiz, 2017 ). Therefore, loneliness may have a positive mediating effect on the association between social networking site use and life satisfaction.…”

The current study examined the associations between specific Internet activities (online shopping, pornography use, social networking site use, and Internet gaming), life satisfaction, and the mediating effects of loneliness and depression for these associations. Participants were 5,215 students (2,303 male participants, Mage = 16.20 years; ranging in age from 10 to 23 years) from various school types (546 elementary school students, 1710 junior high school students, 688 senior high school students, and 2271 university students) who provided self-report data on demographic variables, online shopping, pornography use, social networking site use, loneliness, depression, and life satisfaction. The results indicated that after controlling for demographic variables (gender and age) (a) loneliness and depression had fully positive mediating effects on the association between social networking site use and life satisfaction; (b) loneliness and depression played fully negative mediating effects on life satisfaction associations with online shopping, pornography use, and Internet gaming. Therefore, loneliness and depression were the underlying mechanisms that caused life satisfaction to be affected by online shopping, pornography use, social networking site use, and Internet gaming.

“…Our study contributes to the SCCT literature with engineering students by focusing on a Latina/o student sample and using latent growth modeling (LGM) to assess both changes in the variables (perceived supports, perceived barriers, and coping efficacy) and longitudinal associations among these variables with life satisfaction. Pursuing training in a White-dominated field such as engineering may present a challenging context for students from underrepresented racial/ethnic groups where they may encounter elevated barriers and limited support for their educational pursuits; research suggests that these types of academic environments may lower students’ life satisfaction (Jiang et al, 2017; Luzzo & McWhirter, 2001). Thus, in line with scholars who have highlighted the link between career development and overall well-being (Jiang et al, 2017; Lent & Brown, 2008), we seek to understand the role of environmental factors (i.e., supports and barriers) on Latina/o engineering students’ life satisfaction and the mediating role of coping efficacy in this relation.…”

“…As mentioned earlier, domain satisfaction is an important pathway for enhancing life satisfaction, and several studies with culturally diverse college students have found a positive relation between academic satisfaction and life satisfaction (Lent et al, 2011; Lent et al, 2017; Lent, Taveira, & Lobo, 2012; Lent et al, 2014; Lent, Taveira, Sheu, & Singley, 2009; Ojeda, Flores, & Navarro, 2011). Recent research with college students outside of the engineering domain has identified career support (Jiang et al, 2017) as a predictor of life satisfaction and coping efficacy (Wright, Firsick, Kacmarski, & Jenkins-Guarnieri, 2017) as a mediating variable in the relationship between attachment and life satisfaction. We explore whether the findings of these recent studies (Jiang et al, 2017; Wright et al, 2017) extend to the engineering domain.…”

Using latent growth modeling (LGM) procedures, this study tested a model of Latina/o engineering students’ life satisfaction based on Lent and Brown’s social cognitive well-being model with a sample of 342 Latina/o engineering students attending a Hispanic-serving institution. Participants completed measures of perceived supports, perceived barriers, and coping efficacy at 3 points, each approximately 1 year apart, and life satisfaction at Time 3. The results indicated that perceived supports, perceived barriers, and coping efficacy changed across time. Specifically, perceived supports and coping efficacy decreased and perceived barriers increased over time. Individual differences were found in the growth patterns of these constructs, with participants with low perceived supports and coping efficacy at Time 1 demonstrating more decrease and those with low perceived barriers at Time 1 demonstrating more increase in these variables over time. In the multivariate LGM analysis, the proposed model fit the data, but only partial support was found for the relations among the variables. Specifically, high perceived barriers were negatively related to low coping efficacy, high perceived supports were positively related to high coping efficacy, and high coping efficacy was positively related to high life satisfaction. However, coping efficacy did not mediate the relations between supports and barriers to life satisfaction. Finally, growth in perceived barriers was negatively related to the decline of coping efficacy. Implications for future research and practice are discussed.

Individuals who have experienced incarceration are an underserved population in need of career development to reduce barriers to employment. Given the high rates of disability and health concerns for individuals who have been previously incarcerated, this study explored the relationships between individual health functioning, vocational identity, core self‐evaluations, and community integration. Using structural equation modeling structural regression, results showed that functional difficulties negatively impact vocational identity and core self‐evaluations. Conversely, core self‐evaluations significantly improve community integration and mediate a positive relationship between vocational identity and community integration. Career development activities aimed at core self‐evaluations and increasing meaning in employment may reduce some of the barriers experienced by individuals post incarceration.
