“…This is in line with the result of the study stating that social support and acceptance significantly affect student's subjective well-being (Tian et al, 2015). A study found that social support positively affects Chinese college students' subjective well-being (Xi, Wang, & Jia, 2017). The result of the study conducted on older adults and old exhibits that social support holds a significant association with subjective well-being, meaning that high social support leads to better subjective well-being (Goudarz et al, 2015;Tian, 2016).…”

The data were collected using social support and subjective well-being scales. Simple linear regression was used to analyze the data. The present study exhibited that social support significantly affects single mothers' subjective well-being. This study can be used as a reference proving that social support is much needed by a single-mother to obtain subjective well-being.

“…Associations have also been found in the past literature between religiosity and selfefficacy (Israel-Cohen et al, 2016;Haag, 2008;Hidayatin, 2013;Xi et al, 2017). The individuals, who see themselves as religious, are found to be more self-efficacious (Abdel-Khalek and Lester, 2017).…”

Purpose This study aims to test the serial mediation effect of attitude toward socially responsible investing (SRI) and social investing efficacy (SIE) on the relationship of knowledge about SRI with the intention to invest in SRI along with moderating effect of religiosity. Design/methodology/approach The study uses a quantitative analysis approach, wherein the data has been collected from 569 north Indian retail investors. Partial least square (PLS)-structural equation modeling has been applied in this study using the latest version of SmartPLS (v. 3.2.8) software to examine the complex model of serial and moderated mediation. Findings Attitude toward SRI and SIE significantly and serially mediate the relationship between knowledge about SRI and intention to invest in SRI. Also, the interaction effect of religiosity with knowledge about SRI is significant only for SIE and not for attitude toward SRI. Research limitations/implications The study is cross-sectional in nature conducted only on the north Indian investors. Besides knowledge, there can be many other personal or social aspects that might affect SRI intention that have not been taken into the study. Practical implications The results suggested that the companies, financial advisors and governmental bodies can improvise upon social and environmental performance reporting so that investment in SRI can be promulgated. Social implications The paper concludes that religious-minded people are more open to the idea of investing in SRI. India, being is a religious-minded country, the results of this study suggest that there is good potential for the development of SRI in India. Originality/value Empirical evidence regarding the relationship of SRI intention with its determinants is limited in Asian countries. Prior literature mainly provides evidence from developed countries where social and governance systems are comparatively stronger. The study provides evidence for the bright future of SRI in India, where investor’s beliefs are dominated by their religious values.

“…Self-efficacy positively predicts an increase in older adults’ positive emotions, such as optimism [ 37 ] and happiness [ 38 ]. Moreover, self-efficacy works as a mediator in the relationship between social support and subjective well-being [ 39 ], and mental health [ 40 ]. Accordingly, older adults with high levels of self-efficacy are more likely to cultivate higher positive emotions when compared to those with low levels of self-efficacy.…”

Background Social support and self-efficacy play a significant role in improving positive psychological well-being in marginalized older adults. However, to date, there are few studies identifying the relationships during the COVID-19 pandemic. We examined the effect of social support and self-efficacy on hopefulness in a majority Black sample of marginalized low-income older adults during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods This study used baseline data from a clinical trial designed to increase COVID-19 testing in Essex County, NJ, United States. The dataset involved participants 50 years old or older. We conducted: 1) cross-sectional descriptive/frequency statistics to understand the sociodemographic characteristics, 2) multivariate linear regression to investigate the direct relationships between social support subscales or self-efficacy and hopefulness, and 3) mediation analyses to examine the mediating role of self-efficacy in the relationship between social support and hopefulness. Results Our findings showed that self-efficacy had a partial mediating effect on the relationship between social support and hopefulness. After adjusting for covariate variables, social support subscales (i.e., emotional/informational, tangible, affectionate, positive social interaction social support) and self-efficacy were significantly associated with hopefulness. The indirect effect of social support via self-efficacy was positive and statistically significant. Conclusion Self-efficacy mediated the relationship between social support and hopefulness in marginalized older adults aged 50 and over. Further research is needed to identify the various facets of positive psychological well-being using longitudinal data and a larger sample size.
