The Psychological Well-being of East Asian Youth

Abstract

This series, the first of its kind, will examine both the objective and subjective dimensions of life quality in Asia, especially East Asia. It will unravel and compare the contours, dynamics and patterns of building nations, offering innovative works that discuss basic and applied research, emphasizing interand multi-disciplinary approaches to the various domains of life quality. Thus, the series will appeal to a variety of fields in humanities, social sciences and other professional disciplines. Asia is the largest, most populous continent on Earth, and it is home to the world's most dynamic region, East Asia. In the past three decades, East Asia has been the most successful region in the world in expanding its economies and integrating them into the global economy, offering lessons on how poor countries, even with limited natural resources, can achieve rapid economic development. Yet while scholars and policymakers have focused on why East Asia has prospered, little has been written on how its economic expansion has affected the quality of life of its citizens. The series will publish several volumes a year, either single or multiple-authored monographs or collections of essays.

How kinship systems and welfare regimes shape leaving home: A comparative study of the United States, Germany, Taiwan, and China

“…Earlier home-leaving of daughters in the United States is reported by, among others, Goldscheider and DaVanzo (1985) and DaVanzo and Goldscheider (1990), for daughters in Germany by Billari, Philipov, and Baizán (2001) and Iacovou (2002), in China by Yi et al (1994) and Ting and Chiu (2002), and in Taiwan by Huang (2013). Moreover, previous findings on average age differences between sons and daughters were confirmed.…”

“…Leaving the parental home is a significant event in the status passage between youth and adulthood, at both the individual and the societal level (Huang 2013). At the individual level, this transition is interdependent with other biographical transitions (Billari 2001: 120).…”

“…Existing studies commonly link demographic, situational-biographical, and family-of-origin characteristics to home-leaving behavior in single societies (de Jong Gierveld, Liefbroer, and Beekink 1991;Goldscheider, Thornton, and Young-DeMarco 1993;Goldscheider and Goldscheider 1994, 1998Raymore, Barber, and Eccles 2001;Thornton, Young-DeMarco, and Goldscheider 1993;Sandberg-Thoma, Snyder, and Jang 2015;Ting and Chiu 2002;Huang 2013;Jacob and Kleinert 2008;Juang, Silbereisen, and Wiesner 1999;Windzio 2011). Cross-national comparative analysis is less common and often concentrates on culturally homogeneous areas such as Europe or East Asia (Aassve et al 2002;Aassve, Arpino, and Billari 2013;Billari, Philipov, and Baizán 2001;Holdsworth 2000;Iacovou 2002Iacovou , 2010Le Blanc and Wolff 2006;Mulder, Clark, and Wagner 2002;Wolbers 2007;Chu, Xie, and Yu 2011).…”

Boosting Psychological Well Being of Adolescent: Psychoneurobic Intervention Versus Mindfulness Training

“…The nature of difficulties and life challenges faced by adolescents are of much higher gradient than before, yet they are provided less guidance and intervention for their personal development (Pajares & Urdan, 2005;Suresh, Jayachander & Joshi, 2013). Owing to the dual effects of traditional and modern values as well as practices, the growth trajectory of next generation is exposed to an entirely different context (Yi, 2013).In the Indian sub-continent, home to the largest population of adolescents, complex economic, social, political, cultural and environmental contexts create a wide range of challenges (UNICEF report card for children, 2012). Additionally, some risk factors in the Indian adolescent's life are disintegration of joint families and the traditional social support systems (Vranda,2015), poverty and social stress (Kuruvilla & Jacob, 2007), social hierarchies (Jiloha, 2007) and friction between parents and children (Das, 2000) among others.…”

Pengaruh Rasa Syukur Dan Memaafkan Terhadap Kesejahteraan Psikologis Pada Remaja

“…Perilaku tersebut diperkuat dengan adanya permasalahan dalam bidang akademik. Penelitian Yi (2013) menjelaskan bahwa remaja mengalami tingkat stres yang tinggi karena gaya hidup yang hanya berputar di sekitar prestasi akademik saja. Stres ini menjadi salah satu penyebab utama tingginya tingkat bunuh diri dan rendahnya tingkat kesejahteraan psikologis di kalangan remaja tersebut.…”
