“…One of the strongest beneficial outcomes of subjective well‐being appears to be supportive social relationships (Frisch, ; Moore & Diener, ; Oishi, Diener, & Lucas, ). People high in life satisfaction and positive affect seem to have better social lives in that when they marry they are more likely to stay married and be happy with their marriages (Luhmann, Lucas, Eid, & Diener, ).…”

Background Subjective well-being as a predictor for later behavior and health has highlighted its relationship to health, work performance, and social relationships. However, the majority of such studies neglect the developmental nature of well-being in contributing to important changes across the transition to adulthood. Methods To examine the potential role of subjective well-being as a long-term predictor of critical life outcomes, we examined indicators of positive and negative affect at age 14 as a predictor of relationship, adjustment, self worth, and career outcomes a decade later at ages 23 to 25, controlling for family income and gender. We utilized multi-informant methods including reports from the target participant, close friends, and romantic partners in a demographically diverse community sample of 184 participants. Results Early adolescent positive affect predicted less relationship problems (less self-reported and partner-reported conflict, greater friendship attachment as rated by close peers), healthy adjustment to adulthood (lower levels of depression, anxiety, and loneliness). It also predicted positive work functioning (higher levels of career satisfaction and job competence) and increased self-worth. Negative affect did not significantly predict any of these important life outcomes. In addition to predicting desirable mean levels of later outcomes, early positive affect predicted beneficial changes across time in many outcomes. Conclusions The findings extend early research on the beneficial outcomes of subjective well-being by having an earlier assessment of well-being, including informant reports in measuring a large variety of outcome variables, and by extending the findings to a lower socioeconomic group of a diverse and younger sample. The results highlight the importance of considering positive affect as an important component of subjective well-being distinct from negative affect.

“…Another particularly valuable application comes from within the area of positive psychology. Referring to basic ideas of TP theory, particularly the concept of BTP, Boniwell (Fredrickson, 2009) or funeral service (Frisch, 2006), and some brand new TP-based techniques, Boniwell, Osin, and Sircova (2014) proposed a step-by-step guide for practitioners on how to start with TP coaching: from performing initial diagnostics, to distinguishing problems associated with excessive reliance on particular time frames, and providing practical tools that can help individuals to overcome the negative consequences associated with them. Coaching practice has often lacked theoretical background, and it seems that TP theory may provide comprehensive and useful conceptual frames for effective interventions supporting personal development.…”

“…Rodenberry i Renk, 2007). Naposljetku, visoka procjena samoefikasnosti pridonosi percepciji sreće i pozitivnih životnih ishoda, spremnosti na izazove i ustrajnosti u suočavanju sa stresom i gubitkom te je povezana s percepcijom sreće, pozitivnih ishoda te procjenom vlastite dobrobiti (Bandura, 1997;Fisher, 1992;Frisch, 2006). Budući da istraživanja pokazuju da se intervencijama može djelovati na metakognitivna uvjerenja i samoefikasnost starijih osoba (npr.…”

Evaluacije kognitivnih treninga kod starijih pokazuju poboljšanje u kognitivnim sposobnostima neposredno, a ponekad i duže nakon treninga. Nerijetko se uočava transfer efekata treninga i na sposobnosti koje treningom nisu uvježbavane. Promjene u nekognitivnoj domeni nakon treninga dosad nisu proučavane. Cilj je istraživanja bio provjeriti utjecaj 10-tjednog treninga pamćenja, temeljenog na pretpostavci o metakognitivnim promjenama kao uzroku kognitivnoga starenja, na osobine ličnosti (optimizam/pesimizam i mjesto kontrole) te subjektivnu dobrobit. U istraživanju su sudjelovali korisnici domova za starije i nemoćne osobe, podijeljeni u tretmansku (N = 21) i aktivnu kontrolnu (N = 20) skupinu. Mjere dobiti -promjene u varijablama u odnosu na predtest -prikupljene su u dvije točke mjerenja (posttest i praćenje nakon 6 mjeseci). Neposredno nakon treninga utvrđene su promjene u nekim dispozicijskim mjerama (optimizam, eksternalno mjesto kontrole) i procjeni subjektivne dobrobiti između dvije grupe sudionika. Na praćenju utvrđen je sličan obrazac rezultata s ponešto smanjenim razlikama. Nalazi sugeriraju mogućnost poboljšanja kvalitete života starijih (podizanje optimizma i internalnosti, smanjenje pesimizma i uvjerenja o vanjskim izvorima kontrole ishoda te poboljšanje subjektivne dobrobiti) sudjelovanjem u treningu pamćenja koji kombinira metakognitivne aktivnosti i usvajanje mnemotehnika.Ključne
