“…Conversely, a low score shows that the respondent struggles to feel comfortable with that particular concept. Ryff's Psychological Well-being Inventory subscales yield acceptable to excellent internal consistency(Negovan, 2010). Cronbach's alpha for the overall scale and the subscales ranged from .72 to .85.…”

This study examined the relationship between acculturation, ethnic identity, and psychological well-being of the Albanian-American immigrant community in United States. A total of 139 Albanian-American immigrants aged 21-35 years old participated in the study. In order to utilize the data, participants filled out four different surveys, including a demographic questionnaire, the Multigroup Ethnic Identity Measure (MEIM), the Vancouver Index of Acculturation (VIA), and Ryff's Psychological Well-Being scale.A correlational design relying on cross-sectional survey data and multiple regression analysis was used to study the correlations between acculturation, ethnic identity, and psychological well-being. The results showed that ethnic identity, acculturation, and psychological well-being were positively correlated to each other. In addition, the results showed that both ethnic identity and acculturation affected the psychological well-being of Albanian-American immigrants in the United States. This relationship was further moderated by gender and length of residency in the United States and mediated through graduate school education. The results of this study will help clinicians, social workers, and policy makers that work with immigrants to better understand the psychological consequences of immigration due to acculturation and ethnic identity factors.

“…Studies that investigated psychological well-being as a single-factor dimension also evidenced the positive relationship between this and PGI (Kashubeck-West & Meyer, 2008;Lasun & Odufowokan, 2012;Negovan, 2010;Robitschek, 1999;Shorey et al, 2007) Higher levels of PGI were associated with the presence of higher indices of emotional well-being, social well-being (Negovan, 2010) 2009; Stevic & Ward, 2008); positive mental health (Ogunyemi & Mabekoje, 2007;Vaingankar et al, 2011); and positive affect (Hardin et al, 2007;Robitschek & Keyes, 2009). Consequently, people who had higher levels of PGI were more likely to possess lower levels of negative affect (Hardin et al, 2007), stress (Hardin et al, 2007;Shorey et al, 2007), lower levels of perceived stigma (Sultan, 2011) and more chance of healthily recovering from traumatic experiences (Borja & Callahan, 2009;Callahan et al, 2013).…”

“…In addition, earlier work among student samples from Romanian public universities showed scores above the midpoint of the response scale when using the SWLS (Negovan, 2010). Further cross-country analyses on life satisfaction among Romanians in Romania and Greeks in Greece (Stefenel, 2012), revealed that Romanian registered higher scores than Greeks but significantly lower than the scores of Romanians in our study.…”

The Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS; Diener, Emmons, Larsen, & Griffin, 1985) is one of the most widely used scales for the measurement of subjective well-being. Yet, its measurement invariance and factor structure have not been investigated across culturally diverse samples in Romania. This study addressed this gap in a sample of Roma minority (n = 378), and Romanian majority adolescents (n = 465) in Romania. We found support for scalar invariance, indicating similar patterns and strengths in factor loadings, means and intercepts across samples. SWLS mean comparisons did not show group differences in life satisfaction. We conclude that the SWLS is a brief and valid measure of life satisfaction that can be used for cultural comparison with samples from Romania.
