The Role of Hope and Self-Esteem in the Relation between Economic Pressure and Life Satisfaction of Adolescents

Abstract

Cilj je rada bio provjeriti jesu li nada i samopoštovanje moderatori i/ili medijatori u odnosu doživljenoga ekonomskog pritiska i zadovoljstva životom adolescenata. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 348 djece (219 djevojaka) prosječne dobi od 15 godina iz sedam osnovnih i četiri srednje škole s područja Grada Zagreba i okolice. Za mjerenje doživljaja ekonomskoga pritiska upotrijebljeno je osam pokazatelja ekonomskih ograničenja iz Upitnika odgovora na stres (Wadsworth i Compas, 2002). Nada je mjerena Skalom nade za djecu (Snyder i sur., 1997), samopoštovanje kratkom verzijom Rosenbergove skale samopoštovanja (Rosenberg i sur., 1989), a zadovoljstvo životom Kratkom multidimenzionalnom skalom zadovoljstva životom za djecu (Selingson i sur., 2003). Rezultati pokazuju kako samopoštovanje nije moderator nego djelomičan medijator u odnosu ekonomskoga pritiska i zadovoljstva životom djevojaka. Nada se također pokazala kao djelomičan medijator, a ne moderator, u odnosu ekonomskoga pritiska i zadovoljstva životom djevojaka i mladića. Dobiveni nalazi pokazuju da se dio negativnog učinka ekonomskog pritiska na zadovoljstvo životom adolescenata može objasniti nepovoljnim učinkom ekonomskoga pritiska na samopoštovanje i nadu kod adolescenata, odnosno smanjivanjem samopoštovanja i nade.Ključne riječi: adolescenti, ekonomski pritisak, samopoštovanje, nada, zadovoljstvo životom Barbara Brdovčak, Hrvatsko katoličko sveučilište,

Life Satisfaction among Adolescents: Comparison of Adolescents Attending Music and Sports Programs and Those Who Do Not

“…The BMSLSS has previously demonstrated strong psychometric properties on international samples (Huebner et al, 2004). Furthermore, it has already been used on Croatian adolescents and has shown adequate psychometric properties (Brdovčak et al, 2018;Merkaš & Brajša-Žganec, 2011). The Cronbach alpha reliability coefficient for this study was 0.8.…”

Personality traits, self-esteem and menstrual cycle as correlates of consumer impulsiveness and regret

“…Balabanis (2002) proved that consumer impulsiveness positively correlates with extraversion, which contradicts the findings obtained in our study. Regarding the relationship between basic personality traits and self-esteem, a smaller number of studies have been conducted, and today relatively little is known about differences in personality traits, lower and higher levels of self-esteem and their influence on impulse buying (Brdovčak et al, 2018). The research undertaken so far, which was mainly focused on students, corroborates the fact that self-esteem, openness to experience, neuroticism and extraversion are positively correlated with consumer impulsiveness, while conscientiousness and cooperation are negatively correlated with consumer impulsiveness (Brdovčak et al, 2018).…”

Comparative Study on Residents' Health-Promoting Lifestyle and Life Satisfaction in Wuhan Before and After the COVID-19 Pandemic

“…This could be caused by the diffusion of the COVID-19 pandemic, which not only produces an effect on the change of anxiousness of physical health, but also increases the psychological pressure. To some extent, pressure and anxiety will reduce life satisfaction ( 32 ).…”
