Item type:Publication, Ageing unequally in Europe(Oxford University Press, 2020-09-11)Abstract To shed light on the quality of the ageing experience in Europe and its heterogeneity, this study adapts and computes the Active Ageing Index—an index constructed at the country level to monitor ageing quality in Europe—at the individual level. This strategy allows the measuring of inequality in the experience of active ageing and is flexible enough to consider different value judgements in the overall assessment of the quality of life while ageing. The study examines the predictors of this inequality by using regressions with a Gini-recentred influence function. It finds that education plays a very significant role in reducing inequality, though its influence varies across countries. Furthermore, the study uncovers large variance in the quality of the ageing experience across Europe. For instance, more than 50% of the populations of Romania, Lithuania and Bulgaria show a level of active ageing quality lower than that of the bottom decile of the distribution in Sweden.2 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Sustainable development challenges in a war-torn country: Perceived danger and psychological well-being(John Wiley and Sons Ltd, 2020-08-01)The laborer's physical and mental health, well-being, and happiness are among the major indicators for measuring each nation's sustainable development. A conflictive and hostile external environment (war zone) poses considerable difficulty and psychological distress to workers and nonworkers. Therefore, working in such a physically dangerous business environment may hurt worker's well-being and happiness that in turn may reduce the workers' productivity at the workplace. A high level of laborers' productivity in public and private sectors is essential for achieving sustainable development in the long term. Therefore, this paper examines the effects of perceived danger on employees' psychological well-being in war-torn Afghanistan, an issue being addressed for the first time. We tested the moderating role of social support from coworkers on this effect in order to have a broader vision of which individuals are healthier and happier in a physically dangerous working environment. Two survey data sets were collected from 190 employees working in various small private and public businesses in Herat, Afghanistan. Our results reveal the negative impact of perceived danger on employees' psychological well-being and that employees who receive little or no social support from their peers feel the negative effects of a physically dangerous working condition even more acutely. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Perceiving societal pressure to be happy is linked to poor well-being, especially in happy nations(Nature Research, 2022-12-01)Happiness is a valuable experience, and societies want their citizens to be happy. Although this societal commitment seems laudable, overly emphasizing positivity (versus negativity) may create an unattainable emotion norm that ironically compromises individual well-being. In this multi-national study (40 countries; 7443 participants), we investigate how societal pressure to be happy and not sad predicts emotional, cognitive and clinical indicators of well-being around the world, and examine how these relations differ as a function of countries’ national happiness levels (collected from the World Happiness Report). Although detrimental well-being associations manifest for an average country, the strength of these relations varies across countries. People’s felt societal pressure to be happy and not sad is particularly linked to poor well-being in countries with a higher World Happiness Index. Although the cross-sectional nature of our work prohibits causal conclusions, our findings highlight the correlational link between social emotion valuation and individual well-being, and suggest that high national happiness levels may have downsides for some.1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Does the 2030 Agenda generate happiness? A longitudinal approach to the SDGs vs. the wellbeing of the world(Conscientia Beam, 2024-01-01)This research aims to determine the relationship between the SDGs and the happiness of people in 40 developed and 114 developing countries since the 2030 Agenda initiative was implemented back in 2015. No literature measures such an impact and it is essential to start the debate on the matter. This study determined that the relationship between the SDGs and the world's happiness among the time horizons analyzed (2015-2021) is negligible through a set of panel data and multiple linear regressions. There is much greater structural happiness that comes from sources other than the 2030 agenda. However, although most of these relationships are negative, the classification of the statistically significant SDGs into Maslow's pyramid offers a novel view that allows prioritizing taking actions first on those SDGs associated with the most basic needs of people. This study offers opportunities for future research into why an initiative such as the 2030 Agenda which seeks to generate well-being has the opposite effect and proposes that the initiatives associated with the 2030 Agenda be first linked to the SDGs at the bottom of Maslow's pyramid and that they progressively ascend as positive correlations are achieved between the SDGs and people's well-being.2 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Orientación futura, bienestar y rendimiento en universitarios de un programa de tutoría durante la pandemia COVID-19(2023-01-02)El objetivo del presente estudio fue comparar la orientación futura, el bienestar y el rendimiento académico medidos antes y durante la pandemia. Adicionalmente, se buscó analizar si los niveles de orientación futura pre-pandemia fueron un factor protector ante posibles cambios en el bienestar y el rendimiento durante la pandemia. En el año 2018 se convocó a participar en un estudio longitudinal (2018-2020), a todos los estudiantes registrados en el programa de tutoría (N = 596) de la facultad de Psicología de una universidad privada peruana. Accedieron a colaborar 96 estudiantes durante los dos primeros años (período pre-pandemia = T1). No obstante, solo 48 lo hicieron durante el tercer año (T2). En este grupo se realizó el estudio comparativo. Los hallazgos señalan que hay variación entre T1 y T2 en términos de exploración (búsqueda de información y consejo) en los dominios de vida de carrera y familia, es decir los estudiantes durante la pandemia exploran con mayor intensidad sus opciones futuras. También ha variado el optimismo respecto a la vida de pareja y familiar. Los alumnos consideran más viables sus planes futuros respecto a su familia nuclear. Finalmente se ha observado, mediante un análisis de regresión, que las creencias de los estudiantes, respecto a sus recursos internos para cumplir sus metas, predicen incrementos en su rendimiento. Se requiere implementar estudios en diferentes contextos y con distintos actores educativos para fortalecer los hallazgos.1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Inter-Domain Role Transitions and Work-Family Life Balance: The Mediating Effect of Integration and Segmentation Preferences(John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2023-09-01)Despite growing research on boundary management through role transitions, there is still a lack of understanding of the strategies individuals use to achieve work-family life balance, and there is little research on the relationship between role transitions and work-family life balance. This article aims to determine the extent to which inter-domain role transitions affect work-family life balance using segmentation and integration preferences as mediating variables. To achieve this objective, we conducted an empirical study in which data were collected from a sample of 311 executives (directors) from Ecuadorian higher education institutions. Using structural equation modeling, the direction and strength of the proposed relationships were determined. Findings show that family domain integration preference and family domain segmentation preference mediate the relationship between family-to-work role transitions and work-family life balance. On the other hand, work domain segmentation preference and work domain integration preference were found to have no mediating effect between work-to-family role transitions and work-family life balance. The findings have practical implications for managing work and family life boundaries. This research contributes to a better understanding of the mediating effect played by segmentation and integration preferences between inter-domain role transitions and work-family life balance from an individual perspective.3 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Emotion Regulation Strategies and Psychological Health Across Cultures(American Psychological Association, 2023-11-16)Emotion regulation is important for psychological health and can be achieved by implementing various strategies. How one regulates emotions is critical for maximizing psychological health. Few studies, however, tested the psychological correlates of different emotion regulation strategies across multiple cultures. In a preregistered cross-cultural study (N = 3,960, 19 countries), conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic, we assessed associations between the use of seven emotion regulation strategies (situation selection, distraction, rumination, cognitive reappraisal, acceptance, expressive suppression, and emotional support seeking) and four indices of psychological health (life satisfaction, depressive symptoms, perceived stress, and loneliness). Model comparisons based on Bayesian information criteria provided support for cultural differences in 36% of associations, with very strong support for differences in 18% of associations. Strategies that were linked to worse psychological health in individualist countries (e.g., rumination, expressive suppression) were unrelated or linked to better psychological health in collectivist countries. Cultural differences in associations with psychological health were most prominent for expressive suppression and rumination and also found for distraction and acceptance. In addition, we found evidence for cultural similarities in 46% of associations between strategies and psychological health, but none of this evidence was very strong. Cultural similarities were most prominent in associations of psychological health with emotional support seeking. These findings highlight the importance of considering the cultural context to understand how individuals from diverse backgrounds manage unpleasant emotions.1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, When crisis hits home: cultural and gendered realities of entrepreneurial parenting in difficult times(Emerald Publishing Limited, 2025-01-01)This study identifies and details the notable effects of having children in the household and gender on how entrepreneurs experience work–family conflict, as well as on their well-being, during times of crisis (e.g. COVID-19 pandemic). Design/methodology/approach Leveraging both boundary theory and embeddedness literature, the authors analyze data from more than 6,500 entrepreneurs across 24 European countries, drawn from Eurofound's Living, Working and COVID-19 survey. Findings Entrepreneurs with children in the household experience greater work–family conflict than entrepreneurs without children, leading to variances in their psychological well-being. Female entrepreneurs are particularly affected by this increased work–family conflict and diminished well-being. However, a society's culture, measured as its embeddedness, can mitigate differences in work–family conflict and well-being between entrepreneurs with and without children. In particular, female entrepreneurs benefit from the support they receive from their embedded membership in family networks. Originality/value This study provides unique insights into the link between parenthood and psychological well-being and the influences of conflicting demands between work and family in times of crisis. It accounts for how these links vary by both gender and the broader cultural environment, offering novel recommendations for how entrepreneurs can protect themselves, even in the midst of a crisis.7 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Finance and women's well-being: a literature review(Cogent OA, 2025-01-01)The number of studies on finance, well-being, and women has increased in recent years. At a practical level, organizations seek to develop financial products for women. However, no study consolidates these findings for a better understanding of the theoretical and practical implications. This study offers a rigorous literature review in two stages. The first one is quantitative, through a bibliometric analysis on the relevant scientific-based literature validated by researchers such as Web of Science, Scopus and Dimensions, and supported on Bibliometrix. The second stage is qualitative, conducted through an interpretivist approach and that involved a description of terms, construction of content maps and relationships between terms, divergent interpretations and coding that led to a final concept map presentation. The main findings revolve around the great limitation that women still have to access financial literacy, particularly in emerging countries. It is suggested to create mechanisms and policies that reduce the gaps between men and women and allow the latter to better manage their finances for greater independence. Furthermore, these must be aimed at generating greater well-being that goes beyond the financial and that is not only carried out for particular interests.1
