“…Romantic partners, friends, and family were other sources of social support found among the general population of male undergraduates (Lee & Goldstein, 2016). Researchers also report some variations based on gender in the context of social support, as findings showed that male mean score regarding social support received based on perception was higher in Iran (Zamani-Alavijeh et al, 2017), but in Taiwan, female students showed higher scores for social support compared to males (Lin, 2016). There was a stronger correlation reported between distress and resilience among males compared to social support and resilience in China .…”

“…Among females, stronger correlation was found between distress and social support (-0.31) than distress and resilience (0.01). Finally, Lin (2016), who studied Taiwanese undergraduates, found gender differences with respect to social support (t = −6.63, p= .001), with female students showing higher scores for social support than males.…”

“…Researchers have presented social support as a significant element in encouraging undergraduates' educational attainment and in reducing their psychological stress (Bai et al, 2018;Li et al, 2018;Marhamah & Hamzah, 2016;Vungkhanching et al, 2016). Social support can be described as an individual's perception or reception from the immediate environment of psychological and social support (Lin, 2016). Examples of such support include assistance, care, and respect (Lee & Goldstein, 2016).…”

Although researchers have conducted multiple studies on social support among male undergraduates, a gap was identified in the lack of systematic reviews of literature synthesizing their findings. The purpose in this systematic review was to obtain an understanding of recent findings on social support among male undergraduates. To identify relevant literature, a search strategy was developed consisting of six criteria for inclusion, which yielded a total of 30 studies from multiple databases. Findings showed an overall positive impact of social support on psychological outcomes, academic achievement, and technology use among male undergraduates. The findings also revealed a diverse range of sources of social support as well as variations based on gender. In addition to addressing the identified gap in the research, findings from the review may help teachers, educational policymakers, educators, and scholars identify relevant patterns that could be used to note important dimensions within which possible interventions could be introduced to promote desired outcomes. Keywords: academic achievement, male undergraduates, social support, systematic review, technology use.

“…This means that people have differing standards of evaluation, even though they live in the same environment and experience the same events. SWB consists of two principle components, the cognitive domain (evaluation of satisfaction with life), and the affective domain (positive and negative emotions) (Lin, 2015). This implies that an individual having high SWB (happiness) is a person experiencing a greater satisfaction with life, and experiencing relatively more positive emotions than negative.…”

Retired people often feel unhappy (have low subjective well-being – SWB). Perceived social support is a form of stress buffer, which can play the role of an additional resource, for an individual facing the challenges of life (as a pensioner). The goal of this study is to ascertain the connections between perceived social support and SWB for ex-servicemen and women of the TNI. The retired TNI subjects (N = 40) live in Denpasar (Bali). Data collection was conducted using the Interpersonal Support Evaluation List, the Satisfaction with Life Scale, and the Positive and Negative Effects Scale. Data analysis used the correlation technique of Pearson and Spearman. The results showed a significant positive correlation between perceived social support and life satisfaction (r = .420; p(.007) < 0.05) and a positive effect (r = .667; p(.000) < 0.05). There was no significant negative correlation shown between perceived social support and negative effects (r = - .208; p(.119) > 0.05).

ImportanceSupporting healthy aging is a US public health priority, and gratitude is a potentially modifiable psychological factor that may enhance health and well-being in older adults. However, the association between gratitude and mortality has not been studied.ObjectiveTo examine the association of gratitude with all-cause and cause-specific mortality in later life.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis population-based prospective cohort study used data from self-reported questionnaires and medical records of 49 275 US older female registered nurses who participated in the Nurses’ Health Study (2016 questionnaire wave to December 2019). Cox proportional hazards regression models estimated the hazard ratio (HR) of deaths by self-reported levels of gratitude at baseline. These models adjusted for baseline sociodemographic characteristics, social participation, physical health, lifestyle factors, cognitive function, and mental health. Data analysis was conducted from December 2022 to April 2024.ExposureGratitude was assessed with the 6-item Gratitude Questionnaire, a validated and widely used measure of one’s tendency to experience grateful affect.Main Outcomes and MeasuresDeaths were identified from the National Death Index, state statistics records, reports by next of kin, and the postal system. Causes of death were ascertained by physicians through reviewing death certificates and medical records.ResultsAmong the 49 275 participants (all female; mean [SD] age at baseline, 79 [6.16] years), 4608 incident deaths were identified over 151 496 person-years of follow-up. Greater gratitude at baseline was associated with a lower hazard of mortality in a monotonic fashion. For instance, the highest tertile of gratitude, compared with the lowest tertile, was associated with a lower hazard of all-cause deaths (HR, 0.91; 95% CI, 0.84-0.99) after adjusting for baseline sociodemographic characteristics, social participation, religious involvement, physical health, lifestyle factors, cognitive function, and mental health. When considering cause-specific deaths, death from cardiovascular disease was inversely associated with gratitude (HR, 0.85; 95% CI, 0.73-0.995).Conclusions and RelevanceThis study provides the first empirical evidence suggesting that experiencing grateful affect is associated with increased longevity among older adults. The findings will need to be replicated in future studies with more representative samples.
