“…Previous studies suggest a positive association between social connections and happiness/life because people greatly value the quality of their social connections (Arslan & Coşkun, 2023;Buhagiar et al, 2021;Waldinger & Schulz, 2010). This study reports a positive relationship between happiness/life satisfaction and shows the importance of family and being married.…”

The motivation for happiness research rather than GDP is becoming important to the role of many governments across the globe. When people are asked to list the key characteristics of a good life, they are more likely to include happiness, health, living well and longer. This study investigates whether factors that predict men’s happiness and life satisfaction explain why men die earlier than women. The present research analyses data (N=426,452; 51.90% females) collected by the World Value Survey from 1981 to 2020 in 102 countries, and from six continents. A multilevel random-effects regression analysis was conducted in which individuals were nested by countries. We investigated variations across nations, country-level of development, and geographical regions. Men were slightly less happy and less satisfied with their lives compared to women. State of health, household’s financial satisfaction, freedom of choice, family importance, and being married were positively associated with happiness/life satisfaction. In contrast, being men, being in a low-income household, or being unemployed were negatively associated with happiness/life satisfaction. Unemployed men and men who were living in Africa or the Middle East regions were less satisfied with their lives compared to women. The excess mortality burden on men is due to a mix of biological, behavioural, and social factors. Happy people may live longer because of underlying factors such as health status, household financial satisfaction, and social connections. Policies targeting men’s health and social connections are needed.

“…It goes beyond just feeling good and encompasses a sense of purpose, positive relationships, and a sense of achievement. Individuals with high levels of mental well-being tend to be more resilient in the face of adversity and can adapt to changes in their environment more effectively (Arslan & Cos ¸kun, 2023;Arslan & Wong, 2024). Ultimately, fostering mental well-being is critical for promoting a fulfilling and satisfying life.…”

Psychological maltreatment is a severe form of abuse that can have a significant negative impact on an individual’s mental health and well-being. Examining the factors that reduce the negative effects of child maltreatment on the outcomes can, hence, contribute to the development of effective prevention and intervention strategies, providing resources and support for families, early detection, and education for parents and caregivers. The present study aimed to explore the mediating role of mindful awareness and self-transcendence in the association between childhood psychological maltreatment and mental well-being among Turkish emerging adults. The study sample consisted of 422 emerging adults enrolled in a state university in Türkiye (with 65% of female). Participants ranged in age from 18 to 29 years, with a mean age of 20.94 years ( SD = 1.86). The present study found that psychological maltreatment was not only directly associated with lower levels of mindful awareness and self-transcendence, but also indirectly associated with poorer mental well-being through the mediating effects of these variables. The study suggests that childhood psychological maltreatment is a significant risk factor for mental well-being among emerging adults, and highlights the importance of promoting the development of mindful awareness and self-transcendence in preventions and interventions aimed at improving mental well-being. By cultivating these positive psychology states, emerging adults may be better equipped to overcome the negative effects of psychological maltreatment.

“…Akos and Galassi [7] discussed the procedural, social, and academic aspects of the middle-to-high-school transition that cause concern for students, teachers, and parents, as well as how each can be supported. The psychological wellbeing of students is critical for fostering a true sense of school belonging [17], which helps to ease the social aspect of school transitions [7]. Secondary schools that implement support to address these aspects of the transition and nurture adolescents' basic and developmental needs may ease this transition [3,4,6,7,18]…”

“…Positive changes include opportunities for new friendships, extracurricular involvement, and new adult mentors [7]. Other changes such as a heightened sense of social hierarchy, shifts in friendships, and an increase in peer pressure can lead to negative outcomes such as absenteeism, isolation, low self-esteem, aggression, bullying, and school dropout [17,21,22].…”

Supporting a Responsive Transition to High School through a Summer Transition Camp

In this qualitative case study (n = 32), researchers sought to understand the ways a multi-day summer transition camp may help incoming ninth-grade students experience a developmentally responsive transition into high school. The findings revealed camp helped support students’ procedural, social, and academic-related needs and concerns. Learning the school layout and policies helped support students’ procedural-related needs and concerns. Promoting student–student, educator–student, and school–student relationships helped support students’ social-related needs and concerns. Attending academic classes and communicating expectations for academic success helped support students’ academic-related needs and concerns. A summer camp may foster a responsive transition and mitigate school failure, but must be developed and delivered based on students’ developmental and transition-related needs and concerns. Furthermore, students must perceive camp activities as actually supporting their needs and concerns.
