“…Caldwell et al (2010) analyse for example a sample of young Mexican-American (aged 11-17) and find a negative correlation between their degree of delinquency (capturing both their opinions and their actual engagement in anti-social activities) and their level of self-esteem and psychological wellbeing, though only the former result is statistically significant. Buunk et al (2016), examine life satisfaction in a sample of Spanish criminal offenders aged 16-24 and find that life satisfaction is lower among those held in correctional institutions than those on probation.…”

“…However, in the case where no causal evidence is available, crosssectional studies are considered (e.g. Caldwell et al 2010;Buunk et al 2016 on life satisfaction and engagement in criminal behaviour; and Sulemana 2016 on subjective wellbeing and environmental behaviours). These studies do not fully address the causality issue, ending up measuring mainly correlations among variables rather than causal relationships.…”

The objectives of this paper are twofold. First, it reviews the empirical evidence showing the existence of linkage between wellbeing and possible co-benefits, investigating in particular the positive effect that happiness and life satisfaction can have on health, social outcomes, employment, education and environmental behaviours. Second, it presents the valuation methods that have been proposed in the literature to place a monetary value on these outcomes. With wellbeing having become more and more relevant for individuals and policy makers, the full understanding of the co-benefits of wellbeing is central for the design and development of wellbeing interventions. As a consequence, the evaluation of the co-benefits of wellbeing is of crucial importance for the appropriate allocation of resources towards such strategies.

“…Caldwell, Silverman, Lefforge & Clayton (2004) investigate the relationship of emotional family support to self-esteem, emotional well-being and delinquency of Mexican American adolescents. The study found a positive correlation between emotional support provided by mothers and emotional well-being and self-esteem among adolescents.…”

This study aimed to reveal emotional support from family, teacher, friends, and social medial network among a sample of (732) ninth graders Jordanian students, and to investigate the relationship between emotional support and emotional intelligence. The results of the study showed a high level of emotional support, and revealed that there were significant positive relationships between emotional support (family, teacher, friends, and network) and emotional intelligence. In addition, family and friend emotional support contributed significantly in the variation of emotional intelligence.

“…Among all males, high home environment scores were positively associated with anger and irritability related thoughts and moods, providing increased support for the notion of the home environment also having an impact on adolescent emotional well-being (Caldwell et al, 2004). Results related to the females in this study, showed that African American and Caucasian females exhibited the strongest relationships between their home environment, compliance, and impulsivity.…”

“…The Hispanic family has also been characterized as a close-knit family and these characteristics appear to be intensified due to acculturation and/or assimilation experiences. These familial characteristics including close familial connections including extended family ties, high parental monitoring, and good parent-child communication has been associated with a decrease in maladaptive and/or delinquent behaviors and an increase in positive well-being, mental health, and prosocial behavior (Caldwell, Silverman, Lefforge, & Silver, 2004;Kerr, Beck, Shattuck, Kattar, & Uriburu, 2003). However, also similar to African American adolescents and their families, Hispanic adolescents who experience home environment stressors such as single parent families with economic hardships, and poor and/or negative parental discipline, and familial relationships has been shown to be associated with externalizing behavior including violence and delinquency (Bird et al, 2001).…”

We examined and compared the influence of home and school environments to the affective (anxiety and depression) and behavioral (impulsivity and compliance) states of 626 African American, Caucasian, and Hispanic adjudicated juvenile offenders. African Americans showed the strongest relationship between their home environment and compliance. Caucasian and Hispanic males exhibited increased home and school environment problems associated with affective states. Among females, African American and Caucasian females exhibited the strongest relationships between their home environment and behavioral states, whereas Caucasian and Hispanic males revealed increased school environment problems related to affective states with Hispanic males showing the strongest relationships. In addition, the school environment was more predictive of the affective and behavioral states of the adolescents, particularly females.Adolescence is a critical period in one's life in which he or she undergoes a significant amount of developmental and personal change, which is at times, accompanied by stress that is related to their personal, social, and educational development that places them in vulnerable positions to engage in maladaptive or delinquent behaviors. Research has shown that specific home environment factors, including a negative relationship between an adolescent and their parent(s) or caregiver(s), poor or inconsistent discipline, lack of parental supervision and monitoring, a lack of positive support, history of criminal offending among parent(s), a lack of parental control and neglect, child maltreatment, and poverty is related to the increases in juvenile delinquency and offending with more serious offenders experiencing R.
