“…Regarding how happiness behaves by gender, it cannot be said that the results of different investigations have been conclusive. Some studies [36][37][38] have found that women show higher levels of happiness than men, while others [39][40][41][42][43][44] have found no significant differences in terms of happiness depending on gender. In samples of university students, significant differences by gender have been found.…”

This study examines the relationship between social skills and happiness in 1st-year Teaching School students, as well as possible gender differences. The sample comprised 243 Teaching School students (Primary Education) in Zaragoza, including 110 men (45.27%) and 133 women (54.73%), aged 18–25 (average age 20.23 years; s.d. = 1.586). In order to analyse the relationship between social skills and subjective happiness, the Scale of Social Skills and Subjective Happiness Scale were used. While men scored higher in all social skills-related factors, women scored higher in all factors related to happiness. The study shows that factors such as self-expression in social settings and the ability to say no and cut off social interactions have a direct and significant effect on happiness among men, while self-expression in social settings and the ability to express anger led to a higher perception of happiness among women. Similarly, situations such as asking for and defending rights have an indirect and significant effect in men, reducing their levels of happiness. In the case of women, no social skills factors were found that led to lower happiness. It may be concluded that significant gender differences exist, although broader and lateral studies are needed in order to examine the relationship between gender identities, social skills and subjective happiness more in depth, and thus, understand the effect of these constructs in the development of personality.

“…With the cross-sectional data of the aforementioned variables, we first characterize generativity in relation to inquisitiveness, and second, characterize happiness in relation to inquisitiveness and generativity along with other factors. We decided to rely on cross-sectional data following some previous researches in that the effectiveness of cross-sectional data analyses is argued for identifying correlation and causal relation among psychometric and sociodemographic variables, especially when the causal direction is somewhat obvious or intuitively straightforward [75,76,79]. Specifically, we use mean-based and median regressions to address the two open questions posed in this paper.…”

“…Therefore, we hypothesize that inquisitiveness is an important determinant of happiness and generativity, empirically examining the relationships along with noncognitive, cognitive and sociodemographic factors in a single analytical framework. To this end, we conduct questionnaire surveys with 400 Japanese subjects to collect data, following previous studies that analyze the relationship between behaviors and happiness with cross-sectional data [75][76][77][78][79]. There are several studies that apply cross-sectional data analyses, such as mediation analysis and regressions, to examine the relationships among personality traits, behaviors and happiness [75,76,79].…”

How does inquisitiveness matter for generativity and happiness?

Inquisitiveness (curiosity & acceptance to something and someone different) is the main engine for one person to initiate some relation, and the literature has established that maintaining nice relationships with friends, family and general others contributes to generativity and happiness. However, little is known about how generativity and happiness are characterized by inquisitiveness. We hypothesize that inquisitiveness is a fundamental determinant for generativity and happiness, empirically examining the relationships along with cognitive, noncognitive and sociodemographic factors. We conduct questionnaire surveys with 400 Japanese subjects, applying quantile regression and structural equation modeling to the data. First, the analysis identifies the importance of inquisitiveness in characterizing generativity in that people with high inquisitiveness tend to be generative. Second, people are identified to be happy as they have high generativity and inquisitiveness, demonstrating two influential roles of inquisitiveness as direct and indirect determinants through a mediator of generativity. Overall, the results suggest that inquisitiveness shall be a key element of people’s happiness through intergenerational and intragenerational communications or relations.

“…Table 1 presents the study variables with respective indicators. The questionnaire survey was adapted from similar questionnaires as used in previous studies with some modifications related to the COVID-19 outbreak [65,79,81,86,87]. The scales were constructed on the basis of a seven-point Likert-scale ranging from 1, representing "extremely disagree" to 7 representing "extremely agree".…”

Vendors’ Attitudes and Perceptions towards International Tourists in the Malaysia Night Market: Does the COVID-19 Outbreak Matter?

et al. 2021

Although the negative economic impacts of COVID-19 are undiscovered, the tourism industry is recognized as one of the most vulnerable sectors. Considering tourism’s contribution to Malaysia’s GDP, this study aims to examine vendors’ attitudes and perceptions towards international tourists in night markets after the emergence of COVID-19 and the impacts of propagation power of COVID-19 on vendors’ perceptions in Malaysia. As large numbers of informal workers lost 60% of their income worldwide due to the pandemic, a lack of research is observed on vendors’ attitudes after the pandemic, especially in Southeast Asia. The study model was derived on the basis of the revised social exchange theory (SET). A questionnaire survey was conducted among local vendors in Malaysia using a multistage probability sampling method. Findings revealed that place attachment has a significant effect on positive perception but not negative perception towards international tourists’ receptiveness. Results indicate that positive perceptions towards international tourists significantly and positively mediate the relationship among place attachment, economic gain, and involvement with tourist receptiveness. Moreover, the research concluded that vendors still have positive attitudes towards international tourists’ receptiveness due to economic gain and their place attachment and involvement levels during the COVID-19 pandemic.
