“…Regarding reliability, although the magnitude of the omega coefficient was below that obtained in some previous studies [ 28 , 48 , 49 , 51 , 55 ], it was still considered acceptable, as in other studies that tested internal consistency [ 47 , 50 ]. It is still unknown whether the reliability is affected by the number of response options in the Collao Quechua SWLS; therefore, future research should address such an analysis using the item response theory (IRT) to deepen the invariant properties of the items, addressing cultural differences [ 53 ].…”

“…This finding is consistent with that reported in previous studies, both in Peruvian samples [ 25 , 28 ] and in samples from other countries [ [47] , [48] , [49] , [50] , [51] , [52] , [53] ]. In fact, previous studies that evaluated the measurement invariance of the SWLS by culture or nationality presented results that support the 1-dimensional structure [ 46 , 54 , 55 ].…”

“…The SWLS has been translated into many languages and used in various geographical contexts. Overall, sufficient evidence of the reliability, validity, and unidimensionality of the SWLS has been reported [ 51 , 52 ]. In South Africa, Padmanabhanunni and Pretorius [ 53 ] reported satisfactory reliability estimates ( α and ω = 0.89) for the SWLS among a sample of young adults.…”

The role of resilience in the relationship between role stress and psychological well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic: a cross-sectional study

Background Stress resistance resources, such as social support and resilience, have been found to be important in promoting psychological well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, most prior research studies have conceptualized stress resistance resource variables as having a mediating or moderating role. Cooper (2018) proposed a model of the relationship between stress and health which posits that coping resources are always present and not only invoked in the face of adversity. Thus, we hypothesize that coping resources are causally antecedent to stressors and influence well-being indirectly via the stressor. We focused specifically on school teachers due to them being at the frontlines of service provision during the pandemic. Teaching was already identified as a highly stressful profession prior to COVID-19 and disease containment measures placed additional strain on teachers who had to adapt to emergency remote teaching. Aim The current study tests this hypothesis by examining the indirect effects of resilience on indices of psychological health via role stress. Methods Participants (N = 355) were teachers who completed the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale-10, the Role Stress Scale, the Satisfaction with Life Scale, the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-Trait Scale, and the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale. An electronic version of the questionnaires was distributed to teachers via Facebook and to officials from the Department of Education, who assisted with distribution of the electronic link to the survey. Participants were mostly women (76.6%) and mean number of years in the teaching profession was 15.7. Results Structural equation modelling results demonstrated significant direct effects of resilience on life satisfaction, anxiety, and depression, which indicates that resilience is beneficial for psychological health even in the absence of stress. Resilience also had a significant indirect effect on indices of psychological well-being via role ambiguity but not role conflict. Conclusion These findings have theoretical implications for the understanding of the role of resilience in promoting psychological health among educators. Practical implications include an empirical contribution to education policy and information that can inform interventions aimed to promote resilience among educators.

“…Social network robustness and social support are important protective factors of mental health for immigrant communities [7,34,35]. Connection to a social group is known to insulate immigrants from social stressors by providing a sense of safety, understanding and belonging [35][36][37][38][39]. Social support has been explored as a mediator between acculturative stress and depressive symptoms [40,41].…”

This study explored factors that mediate the relationship between subjective wellbeing and depression in a sample of West Indian American immigrants. An intersectional theoretical framework was used to identify the relative contribution of psychological stressors-perceived discrimination, financial strain and acculturative stress-that mediate the relationship between subjective wellbeing and depression. A geographically diverse sample was recruited by an online survey (N = 255), consisting of 138 men, 115 women, 173 Indo-West Indians and 82 Afro-West Indians. Path analysis was used to identify the relative contribution of psychological stressors. Acculturative stress and financial strain were both statistically significant predictors of depression. Financial strain was identified as the major mediator between subjective wellbeing and depression in West Indian Americans. West Indian Americans are vulnerable to financial strain and acculturative stress. These sources of psychological stress are important contributors to depression in the community. More research is needed to clarify these relationships.
