“…As expected, PYD as an indicator of eudaimonic well-being, Martela and Sheldon [32] showed significant and negative impacts on the three factors of psychological distress in our samples. This finding can be supported by existing studies that have demonstrated that good PYD can relieve individuals' psychological distress (e.g., [44,45,75,76]). PYD is able to nurture youth mental health and encourage young people to make positive changes in multiple domains of their life to prevent behavioral and emotional problems [77].…”

“…The influence of PYD and life satisfaction on the DASS scores were tested by structural equation modeling (SEM). 45.2% were male (n = 3031), 54.5% were female (n = 3655), and 0.3% (n = 18) did not disclose their gender. In terms of age, 93.3% of the respondents were 18 years or older (n = 6252), and 56.2% of the students were 18 years old (n = 3769).…”

“…Based on the literature [44][45][46], it was expected that a higher level of eudaimonic well-being (indexed by PYD) and a higher level of hedonic well-being (indexed by life satisfaction) would be negatively related to depression, anxiety, and stress (Hypothesis 5a and Hypothesis 5b, respectively).…”

Although mental health problems among Hong Kong university students are serious, there is a lack of studies examining the psychometric properties of related assessment scales and correlates. This study attempted to validate the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS) in Hong Kong university students and examine the demographic (gender), time (cohort), and well-being correlates (positive youth development attributes and life satisfaction) of psychological morbidity. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to examine the factor structure of the DASS (n = 6704). Gender and cohort invariance were further established using a multigroup CFA. The three-factor model of the DASS showed a superior fit and factorial invariance across gender and five different cohorts. Regarding gender and cohort correlates of psychological morbidity, males exhibited more depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms than their female counterparts. The intensity of psychological distress also escalated after the Umbrella Movement in 2014. Furthermore, well-being measures (positive youth development and life satisfaction) were negatively associated with depression, anxiety, and stress. In short, the Chinese DASS demonstrated good psychometric properties. This study also showed that gender, cohort (occurrence of political events), and well-being were associated with psychological morbidity indexed by the DASS measures.

It has been widely proven that resettlement is associated with negative psychological effects (e.g., increased depression and symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder) among refugees. Therefore, there is an urgent need to improve the psychosocial functioning of migrants. This study assessed associations between negative dysfunctional appraisal (perceiving experiences as stressful), spiritual needs, religious coping and wellbeing. Data from paper-and-pencil questionnaires were collected from 744 refugees (69.8% male) aged 18–67 years (M = 27.99) with diverse backgrounds (including from Mashreq countries) who were resettled in Germany. Bootstrapping mediation analysis revealed that the relationship of dysfunctional appraisal and wellbeing among refugees is mediated by spiritual needs (i.e., existential and religious needs). Additionally, negative religious coping mediates the relationship between spiritual needs and wellbeing. The data obtained suggest the need for practitioners to focus on psychological interventions that strengthen spiritual needs in order to improve mental health among refugees.

“…When youths have strong spiritual qualities such as fulfil commitment exceeds self-interest and or show a tendency to engage in religious activities, they will get better performance in school, less likely to show risky behaviours, can involve in their communities more vigorous, more likely to engage in voluntary activities and engage in social and political activities (Good & Willoughby, 2006;Putnam & Campbell, 2010;Checkoway & Gutierrez, 2011, as cited in Hacket, 2015. On the other hand, individual might be at risk of negative psychological and behavioural outcomes for the lack of religious and spirituality belief (Sarizadeh et al, 2019).…”

They are under school youth category and education are emphasized on them. The education ecosystem is very important as a basis for the formation of a developed country. Continuous education as Lifelong Islamic Education (LIE) applied in the implementation of Ulul Albab Tahfiz Model (UATM) is seen as one of the important elements in education that can lead to positive youth development (PYD). Thus, using the qualitative case study methodology, this paper exploring on how LIE that takes place in the UATM can attain PYD. Data are obtained through analysis documents and semi-structured interview involving 8 students, 2 teachers and 2 guardians. The findings of the study found that the implementation of LIE able to develop individual assets and ecological assets in youth and lead to PYD. In conclusion, the implementation of UATM has a potential to develop PYD and subsequently strive to be one of the initial efforts to highlight the potential in the youth rather than the deficit approach aimed at addressing the social problems of youth.
