“…In our study, one of the main reasons for individual happiness is in relation to the improvement of self-esteem due to a better understanding of their own roots. Similar results were discovered by Butkovic et al (2019) [50]. Self-esteem is an important predictor of life satisfaction at different stages of life, identifying life satisfaction with happiness in a broad sense.…”

2020

In this research we analyze links between happiness and cultural tourism, taking the European Holy Grail Route in Spain as a cultural tourist product. Questions that arise are, among others, can cultural tourism generate understanding and social cohesion? Consequently, can it also mean increasing the happiness of both tourists and the host population? How and what can be learned from cultural tourism as a peaceful social process? Specifically, a qualitative approach was made in which we conducted semi-structured interviews with people belonging to civil society associations linked to the route. An analysis of the narratives (from the interviews) through the grounded theory was carried out. Improved individual reasons for happiness and social cohesion as a result of positive significant experiences are observed in the first step of results, and an exportable Decalogue of social behavior in cultural tourism experiences is presented and evaluated by the interviewees and shown as a research proposal.

“…The transition from the age of 35 from early adulthood to middle adulthood makes people take more responsibility in fulfilling their roles and focus primarily on their work and family. Butkovic et al [52] noted that this is due to the will to ensure stability in terms of already well-established social relationships that had been hitherto established in earlier stages of life.…”

Motivational Differences between 5K Runners, Marathoners and Ultramarathoners in Poland

et al. 2021

The aim of the study was to determine the reasons for practicing different running distances (5K run, marathon, and ultramarathon), and to analyze the differences in each type according to gender, age, and marital status. An empirical study was conducted during the 2020 Karkonosze Winter Ultramarathon, 20th PKO Poznan Marathon, and 5K run—Parkrun Poznan and City Trail, over the course of which we interviewed 925 runners. A total of 267 ultramarathoners, 493 marathon runners, and 165 Parkrun and City Trail participants took part in the cross-sectional study, which used the diagnostic survey method. The questionnaire employed the division of motives used by the Motivation of Marathoners Scale (MOMS) by Masters et al., adapted to the Polish language by Dybała. No significant differences were found in any of the disciplines based on gender or marital status, although the results showed that weight concern increased with increasing age range in all the running distances analyzed. In addition, in 5K run and marathon runners, weight concern decreased in the 36 to 50 age range, but subsequently increased in those over 51 years of age. Therefore, it will be important for coaches and other professionals to consider athletes’ age when trying to understand their motives to participate in different disciplines.

“…Agreeableness) is mostly unrelated to general life satisfaction but positively related to experiencing negative affect. Finally, narrower personality constructs like self‐esteem (feelings of self‐adequacy; Rosenberg, 1965) also relate to subjective well‐being measures (Butkovic, Tomas, Spanic, Vukasovic Hlupic & Bratko, 2020; Diener & Diener, 1995; Diener et al ., 2009; Marrero, Carballeira & Hernández‐Cabrera, 2020). Some researchers have stressed the importance of understanding how broad and narrow personality traits influence subjective well‐being in tandem (Lucas & Diener, 2009; Sedikides et al ., 2004).…”

“…In turn, self‐esteem can influence information processing (Beck, 1976) in ways that promote thoughts and behaviors that create pleasant (vs. unpleasant) experiences (Orth, Robins, Meier & Conger, 2016; Swann, 2012; Wood, Heimpel & Michela, 2003). Indeed, evidence suggests that self‐esteem prospectively predicts subjective well‐being constructs, but subjective well‐being constructs do not prospectively predict self‐esteem (Butkovic et al ., 2020; Orth, Robins & Widaman, 2012).…”

As subjective well‐being is foundational to understanding people, researchers have sought to uncover its correlates. Some theorizing proposes that effects of broad personality traits on subjective well‐being constructs are mediated by self‐esteem; unfortunately, evidence pertaining to this idea has been limited to the study of “normal” broad personality traits and limited measures of subjective well‐being. Here, we provided a more comprehensive test of this theory, and we examined the dominance of self‐esteem over normal and pathological broad personality traits in predicting an array of subjective well‐being constructs. In a primarily college sample (N = 272), we found that self‐esteem generally mediated the effects of all Five‐Factor Model (FFM) traits except Agreeableness and all pathological personality traits—represented in the Personality Inventory of The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders traits (5th edition; PID‐5)—except Antagonism on a set of subjective well‐being measures; moreover, dominance analyses showed that self‐esteem was generally more important than any FFM or PID‐5 trait in predicting the subjective well‐being measures. We discuss limitations of our study along with some of its basic and applied implications.
