“…According to the study findings, no significant association was detected between gender and positive affect, which is in agreement with some previous findings (Joshanloo & Bakhshi, 2016;Koydemir, 2013). While the results of this study showed a lower subjective well-being among females in comparison with males, the mechanisms leading to gender differences in subjective well-being of migrants are unclear and more empirical research is required to further develop our understanding in this area (Batz-Barbarich et al, 2018;Manzoor et al, 2014).…”

Background: Middle Eastern (ME) migrants are vulnerable to developing mental health problems due to pre-migration and post-migration traumas and stresses. The evidence on the subjective well-being of ME migrants and its contributing factors is limited and inconclusive. Objectives: The aim of this study is to examine the moderating role of perceived social support in the association between perceived discrimination and subjective well-being, after controlling for socio-demographic factors. Method(s): This cross-sectional survey study was conducted in Queensland, Australia. A total of 382 first-generation young adult ME migrants, aged between 20 to 39 years, completed a self-administered questionnaire. To analyse data, a series of three hierarchical multiple regression (HMR) analyses were conducted, one for each of the subjective well-being components (i.e., positive affect, negative affect, and satisfaction with life). The interaction between perceived social support and perceived discrimination for the prediction of subjective well-being components was further explored using simple slope analysis. Results: Gender was found to be a significant predictor of positive and negative affect. Education was found to predict satisfaction with life, but not positive and negative affect. Married migrants were found to have significantly higher life satisfaction, positive affect and lower negative affect. Perceived social support had a moderating role in the association between perceived discrimination and subjective well-being. Conclusion: Considering the buffering role of perceived social support against the adverse effects of perceived discrimination on subjective well-being, organizations and individuals working with ME migrants should acknowledge the significance of social support and improve their capacity to deliver effective and appropriate social support services to migrants experiencing discrimination.

“…First, the significant relationship between happiness and academic performance corroborate previous findings of Mohammadi (2015), Manzoor, Siddique, Riaz, and Riaz (2014) and Tabbodi, Rahgozar, and Abadi (2015). The latter pieces of evidence suggest that happiness may boost academic performance resulting in higher academic performance.…”

“…The varied findings may have stemmed from the complexity of happiness that is characterized by multiple influential factors (Datu & Valdez, 2012). In some studies, happiness was found to be associated with academic performance (Manzoor, Siddique, Riaz, & Riaz, 2014;Mohammadi, 2015) and academic motivation (Hassanzadeh & Mahdinejad, 2013). Most of the previous studies revealed that happiness increased academic performance, and high academic performance also increases happiness.…”

For decades, studies on goal concordance had documented its significant role in individuals' performance and success in many aspects of life. Previous researchers claimed that goal concordance buffers happiness (Sheldon & Elliot, 1999) and task performance . But studies on the possible influence of goal concordance and happiness in academic context remained unclear, especially in the Philippine academic setting. To shed light on the remaining question in the literature, this study focused on determining the possible association between goal concordance and happiness with college students' academic performance. The study was conducted at the Central Luzon State University in the Philippines. 300 college students participated in the current investigation. Using the correlational and test of difference analyses, this study had come up with several important findings. A significant relationship between goal concordance and academic performance was found. In addition, the significant association between happiness and academic performance was also noted. However, goal concordance and happiness had no significant relationship. Moreover, the finding shows a significant difference between the two groups of students: college students with self-concordant goals had higher academic performance than those with nonconcordant goals. Lastly, there is no significant difference in happiness between students with self-concordant and nonconcordant goals. Both practical and theoretical implications are discussed.

“…In an academic setting, students' emotions shape academic performance (Daniels et al, 2009). Several findings found that happiness was significantly related to students' academic motivation (Hassanzadeh & Mahdinejad, 2013) and academic success (Mohammadi, 2015;Tabbodi, Rahgozar, & Abadi, 2015;Manzoor, Siddique, Riaz, & Riaz, 2014). The impact of happiness can also be found beyond the academic setting.…”

Throughout the years, studies had documented the influence of grit, academic adjustment, and happiness on college students' academic performance. However, none of the previous studies warrant conclusive results. Previous findings yielded inconsistent conclusions. In effect, the predictive ability of grit, academic adjustment and happiness on academic performance still merit further investigation, especially among freshmen students. This paper had taken the route towards exploring how grit, academic adjustment, and happiness predict first-year students' academic performance. The study was conducted at Central Luzon State University where 313 freshmen students participated. The correlational analysis found several surprising findings. First, both grit and college adjustment was not significantly related to freshmen students' academic performance. Happiness was the only significant predictor of academic performance. Second, the findings show that grit, academic adjustment, and happiness were significantly inter-correlated. The present investigation may suggest that the predictive ability of happiness on academic performance may be dependent on the influence of grit and college adjustment. This may further imply that the grittier the students, the more capable they are in adjusting with their academic life, the happier they become, and the higher academic performance they achieve. The theoretical and practical implications of the findings are discussed.
