    Influence of coping style on life satisfaction Among Vietnamese undergraduates of psychology, mediated by stress, anxiety, and depression
    (Assumption University Press, 2018) Tran, Vu Anh ; Natalie Chantagul
    This study investigated (1) the direct influence of coping style on life satisfaction; (2) the indirect influences of coping style on life satisfaction, being mediated by depression, anxiety, and stress; and (3) gender differences in coping style, life satisfaction, depression, anxiety, and stress on a sample of 510 Vietnamese undergraduates of psychology in Ho Chi Minh city. Vietnamese-translated versions of the Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations (CISS), Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS), Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) and a researcherconstructed demographic questionnaire were employed for data collection. Reliability test, the t-test, and multiple regression analysis were used in data analysis. Results revealed that problem-focused coping and avoidance-focused coping were positively related to life satisfaction while emotion-focused coping was found to be negatively correlated with life satisfaction. Furthermore, problem-focused coping was found to be negatively correlated with depression, anxiety, and stress, whereas emotion-focused coping was found to be positively correlated with the three emotive variables. Avoidance-focused coping was negatively correlated with depression. In terms of testing indirect relationship hypothesis, the regression analysis showed that there was an indirect influence of emotion-focused coping and voidance-focused coping on Vietnamese psychology undergraduate students’ life satisfaction, being mediated by their reported level of depression. Additionally, no significant gender differences were found in problem-focused coping, depression, anxiety, stress, and life satisfaction. In contrast, there were significant gender differences in emotionfocused coping and avoidance-focused coping such that Vietnamese female students of psychology tended to employ emotion-focused coping and avoidance-focused coping more than their male counterparts.

    The influence of dispositional optimism-pessimism on life satisfaction mediated by coping strategies among Thais in Bangkok
    (Bangkok : Assumption University, 2019) Yanika Hoontrakul ; Parvathy Varma
    Research has shown that optimism and productive coping strategies have a momentous positive impact on physical and psychological well-being. It has been found that optimists tend to use engaged-style coping and pessimists use disengagedstyle coping. Therefore, the present study aims to investigate the direct and indirect relationship of dispositional optimism-pessimism on life satisfaction, being mediated by coping strategies among Thais in Bangkok. Two hundred and four Thai adults participated in an online survey. The research design of this study was correlational, using path analysis to test the hypotheses. Results revealed that there was no direct influence between optimism-pessimism on life satisfaction. However, there was an indirect positive relationship between optimism and life satisfaction, mediated by engaged coping. Lastly, there was no indirect relationship of pessimism on life satisfaction, mediated by disengaged coping, but disengaged coping was negatively related to life satisfaction. Some of the results in the present study diverged significantly from existing literature, future research is recommended to further investigate these discrepancies. Future studies should also continue to explore predictors to life satisfaction within the Thai population and develop culturally appropriate interventions.

    The influence of extraversion and neuroticism on self-esteem and life satisfaction mediated by Facebook use among Thai Millennials
    (Bangkok : Assumption University, 2019) Pimchanok Suebsumrarn ; Varma, Parvathy
    Facebook is the number one social networking site in the world that people engage in the most. Its popularity has reached epidemic proportions and it leaves many questions unanswered as to whether it is good or bad for users’ psychological health, especially for Millennials who engage in Facebook more than any other activity in their lives. The current investigation attempted to explore the direct and indirect influences of the personality traits of extraversion and neuroticism on self-esteem and life satisfaction, being mediated by Facebook use among Thai Millennials. The results indicate that extraversion and neuroticism showed no significant indirect influences on the self-esteem and life satisfaction of Thai Millennials, being mediated by their Facebook use. However, both extraversion and neuroticism were found to have positive direct relationships with self-esteem and life satisfaction. Moreover, there is a positive correlation between Facebook use and extraversion but not with neuroticism. Additionally, the amount of Facebook use has no link to either self-esteem or life satisfaction and that using Facebook does not change how Thai Millennials feel about themselves and their state of life satisfaction.

    The influence of goal striving and self-efficacy on life satisfaction, mediated by hope, among Thai working persons
    (Assumption University Press, 2017) Narindr Vangsrivadhanagul ; Blauw, Jon ; Arunya Tuicomepee
    This investigation attempted to examine the influence of goal striving and self-efficacy on life satisfaction, being mediated by hope, among Thai working persons. Data were collected from 523 working persons in the Bangkok area. A self-administered survey questionnaire in Thai was employed for data collection. The questionnaire consisted of the following: a researcher-constructed set of questions to elicit demographic information, the Goal Striving Scale (GSS) to measure the level of goal attainment in various areas of life, the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSE) to measure optimistic self-belief or self-efficacy, the Adult Trait Hope Scale (ATHS) to measure the global concept of hope, and the Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS) to measure global cognitive judgments of satisfaction with one's life. The results of Study I revealed that the Thai versions of the GSS, GSE, ATHS, and SWLS are psychometrically sound and, therefore, reliable and valid for use with Thai participants. In Study II, the fully identified path model demonstrated that both goal striving and self-efficacy have indirect significant influence on the criterion variable of hope and, subsequently, effected a higher level of life satisfaction, whereas only goal striving has direct positive influence on life satisfaction. It was also found that the full indirect model best explains the interrelationships among the core variables.

    Life satisfaction of seminary final year students in Yangon, Myanmar: a path analytic study of the direct and indirect influences of coping styles being mediated by stress, anxiety and depression
    (Assumption University Press, 2016) Win, Skeeter ; Ho, Robert
    The purpose of this study was to investigate the influences of coping styles on the life satisfaction of a sample of seminary final year students in Yangon, Myanmar, both directly and indirectly being mediated by their levels of reported stress, anxiety and depression. A total of 218 Yangon seminary final year students (aged between 20 to 45 years) participated in this study by filling in a self-administered questionnaire designed to measure the study's primary variables (stress, anxiety, depression, problem-focused coping, emotion-focused coping, avoidance-focused coping, and life satisfaction). The results of the study indicated that the Myanmar seminary final year seminary students' employment of the emotion-focused coping and avoidance-focused coping styles is directly and significantly related to their reported level of life satisfaction, although in opposite directions. The results also showed that the more the seminary students employed emotion-focused coping to deal with stressful situations, the higher their reported levels of depression, anxiety, and stress. The more the seminary students employed avoidance-focused coping to deal with stressful situations, the lower their reported level of depression. The implications of these findings in relation to the need to assist final year students identify which coping strategy is most effective in helping them cope with the daily stressors they encounter during their final year period were discussed.

    The study of the factor structure of the Thai version of GELOPH<15>
    (Digital Production Press, Assumption University, 2015) Damisa Virangkur ; Natalie Chantagul
    The present study was designed to investigate the factor structure of the Thai version of the GELOPH<15> scale in Thailand and test its reliability and validity via its relationship with measures of self-esteem and life satisfaction. The participants consisted of 210 Thai citizens (58 males, 152 females) aged over 18 years and willing to fill in the study's questionnaire. Exploratory factor analysis of the Thai version of GELOPH<15> yielded three factors (i.e., inability to deal with gelotophobia, negative reaction towards gelotophobia, and social avoidance) that are different from the original GELOPH<15> German version in which one dimension fit its data best and was identified by Ruch and Proyer (2008). Test of convergent validity showed that the GELOPH<15>'s three factors have negative correlation with self-esteem and life satisfaction. The analysis of demographic differences revealed that gender, age, and marital status have no significant effect on the three gelotophobia factors.
