The main aim of the study was to explore the relationship between life satisfaction and sibling bond quality, with gender playing a moderating role. The sample consisted of 276 young adults with a single biological sibling. The participants completed three questionnaires: a sociodemographic survey, the STQ-Now (quality of the sibling relationship) and the SWLS (level of life satisfaction). No difference was observed between men and women regarding life satisfaction; however, the gender constellation in a sibling dyad was found to be statistically significant. Same-sex pairs scored higher on life satisfaction than cross-sex siblings. A positive relationship with a brother or a sister based on mutuality correlated with high overall satisfaction with life, while criticism, competition and apathy were associated with lower general satisfaction. Additionally, two of these relations (i.e. mutuality and apathy) were moderated by gender. Lastly, representatives of the Supportive type of relationships obtained higher levels of life satisfaction than the Ambivalent or the Reluctant types. The findings suggest that siblings play an essential role in shaping psychological well-being. As early adulthood is a stage characterised by multitasking and various challenges, the formation of positive, adaptive and supportive sibling bond may maintain good life satisfaction. The findings also underline the significance of gender combination in the relationship.

This study investigated how perfectionism is connected to general self-efficacy and subjective well-being. Two hypotheses were put forward: (1) Adaptive perfectionism is positively linked with self-efficacy and subjective well-being; and (2) Maladaptive perfectionism is negatively linked with self-efficacy and subjective well-being.The participants were 254 persons aged 18 years and above (average age M = 24.63, SD = 5.30), 76.8% of the participants were female and 23.2% were male. To collect data, these methods were used: General Self-Efficacy

“…Measures of attitudes and other constructs have been extensively investigated upon undergoing revalidation. They include Life Satisfaction Scale (Maslovska, Voitkāne, Miezite, & Raščevska, 2005), Liverpool Stoicism Scale (Gaitniece-Putāne, 2005), Zimbardo Time Satisfaction Inventory, which was revalidated in both Latvian and Russian languages (Koļesovs, 2002), as well as several self-report scales for the investigation of parent-child attachment style (e.g., Bite, 2002; Lubenko & Sebre, 2007). Going beyond the adaptation of existing scales, Maslovska (2004) constructed an original Coping and Bereavement Inventory.…”

History of psychology in Latvia can be divided into three stages: (1) origin and early development during the period of independence between the two World Wars; (2) survival under rather difficult conditions under the Soviet rule; and (3) rapid growth after the reestablishment of independence in 1991. After a brief review of the first two stages, this survey concentrates on recent and current trends in Latvian psychology. Research is reviewed on: interethnic relations, social representations; attachment styles in infancy and childhood and their reverberations in adulthood; early detection and intervention of depression in schoolchildren and university students; validation of major intelligence tests and exploration of new modes of assessing intelligence, and the interplay of social axioms and personal characteristics in observing traffic regulations. As a profession, psychology has burgeoned in the last two decades; programs for training psychologists have been expanded; and applications of psychology have been extended beyond schools to clinical, counselling, industrial/organizational, military, and sports settings.
