Background

This study sought to analyze the structural relationships between optimism, distress tolerance, grief avoidance, intrusive rumination, deliberate rumination, and psychological well-being among undergraduates who have experienced a loss.

Methods

Subjects comprised 435 university students (258 females and 177 males), with their duration of grief experience and the elapsed period from when the loss occurred having been taken into consideration.

Results

Distress tolerance, grief avoidance, intrusive rumination, and deliberate rumination mediated the relationship between optimism and psychological well-being sequentially. Additionally, there were significant differences between the “less than 6 months” and “more than 6 months” groups in the structural relationships between optimism, distress tolerance, grief avoidance, intrusive rumination, deliberate rumination, and psychological well-being.

Conclusions

The direct path of grief avoidance to psychological well-being was not significant, but it was found to have a significant effect through the sequential mediations of intrusive rumination and deliberate rumination. This result suggests the need for active intervention to allow people to face and cope with life after a loss, without avoiding the loss experience.

Abstract PDF

Backgound:

This study is intended to administer stress scale, psychological well-being scale and self-efficacy scale in 279 baby boomers who were born from 1955 to 1963 residing in the P and U areas.

Methods:

Pearson’s simple correlation analysis was performed to identify the relationship between life stress, psychological well-being and self-efficacy, while hierarchical regression was used according to the procedure suggested by Baron & Kenny (1986) to figure out how self-efficacy mediates the effect of life stress on psychological well-being.

Results:

First, life stress in baby boomers has a significantly negative effect on psychological well-being and self-efficacy; second, it was confirmed that self-efficacy has a partial effect in the relationship between life stress including family, economics, health and psychological well-being.

Conclusions:

We discussed the implications and limitations of this study and whether interventions are required to improve the psychological well-being of baby boomers.
