“…Subjective well-being (SWB) is a self-reported measure of well-being, typically obtained by a questionnaire developed by Diener in 1984 [ 28 ]. Definitions of SWB focus on how a person evaluates his/her own life, and comprises moods and emotions as well as an evaluations of one’s satisfaction with the general and specific areas of one’s life [ 29 ]. The conceptualization of SWB focuses on the quality of the individuals’ lives and includes both emotional feelings (positive or negative experience), and cognitive evaluations of life satisfaction.…”

The current study examined whether perceived social support mediated the effects of loneliness and self-efficacy on well-being among students with or without a learning disability (LD). Participants included 834 elementary, middle, and high school students from Israel (29.6% students with LDs) who completed self-report questionnaires. The results of structural equation modeling indicate that social support mediates the indirect effects of age, gender, loneliness and self-efficacy on well-being. In addition, the results show differences between groups, as non-LD girls noted a higher self-efficacy and well-being than boys, and well-being had indirect effects in the non-LD group than in the LD group. These results indicate students with LDs have a unique social-emotional profile that affects their well-being. The study highlights the importance of enhancing self-efficacy and reducing loneliness in order to increase social support, thus predicting positive well-being. Effective and practical educational programs are needed for both groups across age and gender.

“…According to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, one must have positive self-esteem to attain a high level of functioning. Women who terminated a pregnancy in adolescence may find that their body esteem has been altered, resulting in a proneness to psychological distress (Olenik-Shemesh et al 2018 ).…”

Body esteem correlates with self-esteem and lower body esteem reflects lower self-esteem (Olenik-Shemesh, Heiman & Keshet 2018 ). The following narrative quotes support this finding:…”

Unstructured interviews were conducted to solicit narratives from 11 women who terminated a pregnancy in adolescence.Results: Data were analysed through narrative, thematic data analysis. Three themes emerged from the findings: delayed post-traumatic growth, low body esteem and an alteration in the development of maternal identity.Conclusion: The study intended to explore the interaction of culture and grief amongst women who terminated a pregnancy in adolescence.

“…Other studies deal with athletes' body esteem based on the assumption that in this group eating disorders are more common (15,16). In the literature, it is found that other factors related with body esteem include wellbeing, quality of life, personality, sexual functioning, and perfectionism (17)(18)(19)(20)(21).…”

Objective:The main aim of this research was to carry out a validity and reliability study for the Turkish version of the Body Esteem Scale. Method:The study sample consisted of 459 volunteers studying at the faculty of dentistry and the faculty of humanities and social sciences of a state university located in Izmir. Data were collected using the Body Esteem Scale (BES), Body Cathexis Scale (BCS), Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES), and a Demographic Information Form that recorded participants' Body Mass Index (BMI) and personal information.Results: The internal consistency coefficient for the total BES score was 0.94 and test-retest reliability was found to be 0.74. Both exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis found a well-fit three-dimensional model consistent with the original scale. Regarding criterion validity, the total BES score positively correlated with BCS and RSES scores while being significantly and negatively associated with BMI. Conclusion:Evidence has been provided that the Turkish version of the BES is a valid and reliable measurement tool.
