Examining the experiences of different generations, this study assesses the subjective well-being(SWB) from eudaemonic perspective. Data was drawn from a survey of 1,214 adults in Korea. This research conducted descriptive statistics and multivariate regression analysis. Results show that even assessed from eudaemonic approach, material factors are still essential in explaining the variation of SWB. People in industrialization generation are less happy than other generations. Satisfaction with family and different types of social participation activities are related to SWB. This study suggests needs for focused attention on the factors affecting SWB in each generation.

Leisure satisfaction was the most significant factor and it positively influences the positive experience index. In order to increase the subjective well-being among dental hygienists, plans that can increase the job satisfaction, job identity, job commitment and leisure satisfaction should be implemented by improving job-related factors.

The purpose of the current study was to examine dual mediation effect of executive function deficiencies and adaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies in the relation of smartphone addiction and subjective well-being and to suggest implications for adult smartphone addiction intervention programs. A self-report survey was conducted to 148 adults(71 males and 77 females) and the mediation effect was evaluated by regression analyses. Key findings are as follows. First, executive function deficiencies showed mediation effect on the relationship between smartphone addiction and adaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies. Second, significant mediation effect of adaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies was not found on the relationship between smartphone addiction and subjective well-being. Finally, the relation of smarphone addiction and subjective well-being was mediated by executive function deficiencies and adaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies. These results imply that it would be helpful to train executive function and foster emotion regulation strategies to the adult smartphone addiction groups. Finally, limitations of this study and suggestions for future research of the entire adult age group were discussed.

The objective of this study was to survey Chinese university students taking a required taekwondo course, with a goal to understand the impact of motives for participating in required university physical education courses on the subjective sense of well-being of the students.

SPSS 22.0 was used to process the data, and the analysis results are as follows: First, Chinese university students' motives of participating in required physical education courses were positively correlated with their subjective well-being. More specifically, cognitive motivation, intellectual motivation, and social motivation, in that order, had significant correlation with positive emotions. Second, intellectual motivation was found to have a positive correlation with sense of satisfaction in life, while cognitive motivation had a negative correlation with sense of satisfaction in life.

In this study, we investigated the relationship between Finsta use and perceived online social support, self-monitoring, and subjective well-being. Furthermore, we investigated whether the number of Instagram accounts mediates the relationship between self-monitoring and perceived online social support. For this reason, To this end, we conducted an online survey of 396 adults in their 20s. Results indicated that the number of Instagram accounts showed a positive correlation with perceived online social support and self-monitoring, but did not show a significant correlation with subjective well-being. Next, it was found that the higher the level of self-monitoring, the higher the probability of using of Finsta. In addition, the number of Instagram accounts was found to partially mediate the relationship between self-monitoring and perceived online social support. In other words, the higher the self-monitoring was associated with, , the more Instagram accounts were, and many Instagram accounts increased the level of perceived online social support. For the first time in Korea, this study confirmed the relationship between Finsta use and perceived online social support, self-monitoring, and subjective well-being., Also, this study was meaningful because itand explored whether self-monitoring leads to perceived online social support through the number of Instagram accounts.

Recently, consumers are showing interest in social and environmental issues. In addition, consumers are increasingly participating in meaning-out that give meaning to their consumption and express moral values. However, unlike the spread of meaning-out, existing studies are lacking. This study approaches meaning out, which has become a recent issue, from an experiential point of view, and aims to study how the experiential characteristics of meaning out affect psychological effects such as improvement of self-esteem and subjective well-being. First, we hypothesized that the experience of meaning out(feel, think, act, relate) had an effect on subjective well-being through improvement of self-esteem. We tested the hypothesis on a total of 197 data using the structural equation model. As a result, it was found that three experiences excluding 'feel' have a positive effect on the improvement of self-esteem, and and improved self-esteem had a positive effect on improving subjective well-being. This study expands existing studies and provides practical implications by confirming that meaning out has a positive psychological effect.

The purpose of this study was to examine the changes of emotion experiences in old age and confirm the effects of emotional characteristics on the subjective well-being in old age by the longitudinal study. This longitudinal study started from 2003 and every two year we performed panel study. We analysed the data from old participants who participated tree-times(2003, 2005, 2007)and over 65 year-old. Finally, 844 old participants(male, 340; female, 504)' data were analysed. The elderly experienced more positive emotions than negatives and these results represented affective optimization. We performed mixed ANOVA method and confirmed significant change of emotion experiences during 6 years. Positive emotion experiences and negative emotion experiences were decreased as they get older. We also examined the effects of emotional experiences on the subjective well-being. In results, emotion experiences were more effective than the demographic variables for maintaining subjective well-being in old age. Decreasing negative emotion experiences and increasing positive emotion experiences can keep happy life up in old age. The importance of the quality of emotional life in old age and the necessity of longitudinal study of aging were discussed.

This research investigated differences of perception ratio and processes of memory reconstruction. To examine the differences in perception for positive or negative events related to individual subjective well-level, 199 participants were asked to report the perceived ratio of positive versus negative events for the provided event list. Also, recall differences of positive versus negative events were examined in relation to individual differences in happiness. Results partially supported the hypothesis that happy people perceive more positive stimulus in a given situation than less happy people. Happy people also showed more positive percentage in recalled events than actual ratio while unhappy people reported less positive recall percentage than actual ratio. These findings indicate existence of cognitive process that enhances positive or negative memory related to subjective well-being. Significant correlation between perceived ratio and recalled ratio further supports this proposition. Finally, theoretical implications of the present research and suggestions for future research were discussed.
