“…In Israel, as well, the Hebrew translation of this questionnaire has been used extensively to examine self-esteem among adolescents, with a Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient of .84 (Ullman & Tatar 2001). The Hebrew questionnaire consists of 10 statements that are positively and negatively worded (e.g., ''I feel I am a person of worth at least to an equal degree as others'').…”

The study explored the relationship between internal resources (self-esteem, sense of mastery), external resources (social support) and the adjustment of 112 adolescents living in a typical Israeli residential treatment center. All had been exposed to abuse and neglect in their familial homes. Although none of the resources was related significantly to all of the adjustment measures, various resources were related to individual adjustment measures in different ways. Peer support did not relate significantly to any of the adjustment measures. Self-esteem was related to the academic adjustment of adolescents, and a sense of mastery was related to social and personal adjustment. As for external resources, family support was related to both academic and personal adjustment. In the regression analysis the contribution of family support to academic adjustment was indirect and only in interaction with the distance between the residential treatment center and the family's home.

“…While most research indicates similar levels of PQOL among early and late adolescents, recent studies with separate samples of Israeli and rural South Carolina youth suggest slightly elevated PQOL during early adolescence Ullman and Tatar, 2001). Thus, one purpose of this paper is to present preliminary normative information for the BMLSS appropriate for use with middle school students.…”

Preliminary normative data for the Brief Multidimensional Students' Life Satisfaction Scale (BMSLSS) total score were collected from 2,987 South Carolina middle school students in Grades 6 though 8. Tests for gender and ethnicity (African-American vs. Caucasian) effects were non-significant. Statistically significant differences between grade levels were discovered, but the magnitude of these differences was quite small. Thus, a single set of norms is appropriate for use when interpreting middle school students' responses to the BMSLSS.

“…The existing literature on immigrants' life satisfaction commonly report lower life satisfaction (Marsiglia et al, 2013;Verkuyten, 2008;Ullman & Tatar, 2001) and empirical evidence also points to a negative direction in association between perceived discrimination and life satisfaction among immigrants and ethnic minorities (Verkuyten, 2008;Giamo, Schmitt, & Outten, 2012). A similar finding was yielded in Giamo et al (2012)'s study of multiracial individuals in Canada that their perception of discrimination had negative effect on their life satisfaction.…”

This study aims to examine the effect of perceived discrimination on life satisfaction of the foreign wives from multicultural families in Korea. In particular, this study aims to understand whether these experiences and the impact of such experiences on their life satisfaction differ by spouses' ethnic background. Using the data from 'National Survey of Multicultural Families 2009', analyses were conducted on 16,064 foreign wives living in Korea. The findings show that perceived discrimination is significantly associated with low life satisfaction that those reporting of having experienced more discriminatory events were less satisfied with their life in general. The findings also show that ethnic group differences indeed exist in migrants' exposure to discriminatory events and in the level of life satisfaction. These findings imply that social work practitioners and scholars need to recognize such differences in understanding the marriage migrants and that one-size fits all approach does not work when working with the population.
