“…In the case of the other three translations, scant data are available for either the first-order or second-order analysis. The South African Setswana language version authored by Stapelberg and Wissing in 1999 was mentioned in van Rooyen et al (2000) and Wissing and Temane (2013). According to these sources, the SACS showed low reliabilities for the specific hypothesized strategies; CFA did not support the original factor pattern, but instead, a culturally unique factor pattern emerged, and some of the subscale names are reported.…”

The Strategic Approach to Coping Scale (SACS) is a measure based on the Multiaxial Model of Coping. The original version of the scale consists of nine subscales, which form three second-order factors. An up-to-date review of SACS cultural adaptations was provided in order to examine the evidence for the cultural stability of SACS first- and second-level structures. The review demonstrated that among the SACS first-level factors some are more culturally stable and some are more sensitive to cultural context. The second-order structure of the SACS is more interculturally stable, especially the active–passive and social factors have a robust empirical justification.

“…Despite the interest in cultural variations of SWB, most existing research focused on differences between Western and Eastern cultures (e.g., Park & Huebner, 2005; Wirtz, Chiu, Diener, & Oishi, 2009). In the South African context, research on SWB has mainly focused on adults (e.g., Wissing & Temane, 2013), neglecting children and adolescents. In one of the few studies, Savahl et al (2015) found relatively high levels of SWB among a group of 12-year-old South African children but cautioned that the findings were in contrast to objective indicators of their well-being as many South African children are exposed to adverse circumstances such as poverty, violence, and abuse.…”

Subjective Well-Being and Gratitude Among South African Adolescents

Findings on contextual variables related to subjective well-being (SWB) and gratitude among adolescents are inconsistent. This study examined the association between SWB and gratitude among a group of South African adolescents ( n = 840) as well as gender and cultural differences in the mean scores on measures of SWB and gratitude. Correlations between SWB and gratitude were in the expected direction. Females showed higher levels of satisfaction with school, friends, and self, compared with males, and also higher levels of negative affect, state, and trait gratitude. Black adolescents were more satisfied in the domains of self and school and showed higher levels of state gratitude. White adolescents experienced higher levels of general life satisfaction and satisfaction with living environment, as well as trait gratitude. Programs to enhance youth well-being could benefit from focusing on specific life domains and affective experience to better address the needs of specific groups of adolescents.
