This survey aims to understand students' perspectives on safety, health and support at school. It guarantees confidentiality and notes that respondents do not have to answer all questions. It then asks about the respondent's academic performance, future plans, living situation, health, experiences at school including bullying, stress levels, activities, and spiritual beliefs to help evaluate how to better support students.
This document contains a patient health survey with questions about general health, physical limitations, pain levels, energy levels, and how health impacts daily activities. The survey uses a scale of 1 to 5 or 1 to 6 to rate responses. It collects information on physical and mental health over the past 4 weeks to assess a patient's overall well-being and functionality.
This survey examines the effects of social media usage on students. It asks respondents about their social media habits and seeks their level of agreement on whether social media negatively impacts factors like academic performance, self-esteem, communication skills, and mental health. The survey also questions if social media positively contributes to knowledge, awareness, and global connectivity. Respondents are asked to rate their agreement on a 5-point scale for 20 statements about social media's influence.

The document is a research report submitted by four students for their social psychology course. It details a study conducted on 100 participants to investigate perspectives on relationships after a breakup. The study used a questionnaire to understand participants' views on staying friends with an ex and remaining in contact. The results found that males tended to agree more with staying friends whereas females disagreed more. Overall, the majority of responses disagreed that couples can remain friends after a breakup, so the hypothesis that couples can remain friends was not accepted.
The document discusses a study on the impacts of sports participation on student well-being at AMEC. It aims to determine the relationship between demographic factors and impacts on physical, social, emotional and mental well-being. 181 students participated in a survey assessing these domains. Results showed most respondents were 19-20 years old, nearly equal males and females, and most were Christians and psychology students. Badminton was the most popular sport. Overall, respondents agreed that sports positively impacted all well-being domains, especially emotionally and mentally by reducing stress. Significant relationships were found between age, sex, nationality and well-being domains, but not for religion, course or nationality.

This document discusses the relationship between self-reported attitudes and actual behaviors towards people with intellectual disabilities. While self-report measures dominate research in this area, they are limited by social desirability bias and may not accurately reflect behaviors. The authors explore alternative ways of measuring attitudes, including implicit measures and tests of real-life behaviors. Their research found that people reported more positive explicit attitudes than their implicit attitudes suggested. They hypothesize that implicit attitudes may better predict subtle prejudiced behaviors, while explicit attitudes influence more deliberate behaviors. The authors plan to further study this relationship by conducting an experiment measuring voting behaviors, attitudes, and implicit biases in secondary schools.

Results and Discussion Cont’
State which Variables are Important in predicting the cost of constructing an LWR plant?
S is a significant contributing factor in predicting ln(C)(p = 0.021), but N and CT have no significant effect in predicting (p > 0.05)
7
Results and Discussion Cont’
State a prediction equation that can be used to predict ln(C).
After dropping N and CT from the model since they do not have a significance effect in predicting ln(C), the prediction equation is given by:
Does adding CT improve R2? If so, by what amount?
Adding CT in the model changes R-Square by 0.001 from 0.232 to 0.234 which is not significant different from zero (p > 0.05).

This document contains a survey questionnaire regarding waste management satisfaction in a local community. It asks respondents for demographic information and asks them to rate their level of agreement with statements about the impacts and benefits of waste collection programs on a 5-point scale. Questions also assess awareness of waste disposal laws, waste collection frequency, and satisfaction with waste segregation and the overall waste management process. The goal is to evaluate community satisfaction with current solid waste collection and sustainability programs.
This document discusses measuring the impact of women in leadership positions in India. It presents a theory of change where reservations for women in local government lead to more female leaders whose preferences and priorities differ from male leaders. Data is presented measuring each step of this theory, including administrative data on reservations, transcripts from village meetings on issues raised by men and women, and village surveys measuring public investments in areas preferred by women, like drinking water and education. The results show reservations significantly increase female leadership and that areas with more women leaders invest relatively more in issues preferred by women. This supports the hypothesis that putting more women in power can impact public spending priorities.

This document summarizes a presentation on optimizing quality of life in the treatment of depression. It begins with learning objectives focused on defining quality of life, describing how depression impacts quality of life, and strategies to engage patients regarding quality of life. It then provides background on depression and challenges in treatment. Sections define quality of life, discuss how it differs from functioning, and describe commonly used quality of life measures.
The document summarizes a study that examined gender differences in coping strategies for dealing with interpersonal conflicts and the link between coping strategies and cognitive interference. The study analyzed daily interview responses from 110 participants (59% women) over 14 days where they reported irritating social situations and their coping approaches. The results showed:
1) Men and women most commonly used constructive/positive coping strategies, with no significant gender differences in strategy use.
2) Coping strategies had varying effects on cognitive interference between genders - men reported more interference with indirect positive strategies while women reported more with direct positive strategies.
3) The study provides insights into how gender influences coping and well-being, which coping approaches are most beneficial, and directions

The document provides instructions for a multi-part counseling ethics assignment. It explains that students pursuing licensure as a licensed professional counselor should evaluate the American Counseling Association (ACA) Code of Ethics as well as their state's rules and regulations.
The assignment has two parts: 1) Students must rewrite each section of their professional code(s) of ethics in their own words, providing an example for understanding. 2) Students must identify the specific license and state they are pursuing and compare the national code to their state's licensing standards, noting three similarities and three differences.
This document summarizes a study on the impact of poor physical health on self-management and social skills among female sex workers in Mumbai, India. The study found that the sex workers generally had low levels of self-management and social skills. Most were between 25-35 years old and had low levels of education. The majority earned less than Rs. 600 per day. Statistical tests found significant relationships between age/education and choosing this work, and between daily wages and hours worked. Overall, the study suggests poor physical health is associated with weaker self-management and social skills among this group.
The document summarizes the results of a stress survey given to 8th grade students.

This paper reports the results of three hypothesis tests conducted using survey data from 51 Harvard undergraduates. The paper tests theories that happiness comes from hard work, pleasure-seeking, and strong social ties. None of the theories received support. Spending time studying did not correlate with happiness. Those reporting more pleasure activities were not happier than those reporting fewer. And having more friends was not associated with greater happiness. The paper concludes that while the theories are not incompatible, the present data did not support any of them in explaining sources of happiness. Larger or alternative studies may be needed.
1) According to a 2007 European survey, only about 17% of Europeans report living a positive, engaged and meaningful life defined as "flourishing". Countries like Denmark, Switzerland and Austria have the highest percentages of flourishing citizens.
2) Research shows that happier people significantly outperform less happy individuals in many areas of life like work performance, physical health, social relationships, and more. A variety of positive benefits have been associated with higher levels of happiness.
3) While genetics and life circumstances influence happiness, intentional activities have the largest impact and can increase happiness levels. Various tools and interventions that target different aspects of well-being like positive emotions, relationships and meaning have been shown to improve each dimension.
This document summarizes the findings of a survey called the InTeGrate Attitudinal Instrument (IAI) that was administered to undergraduate students before and after Earth science courses. The survey looked at students' interest in Earth science careers, concern for environmental issues, and motivation for sustainability. It found that instruction increased interest in Earth science majors and careers while decreasing uncertainty. It also found that while participation in sustainable behaviors varies, saving money is a strong motivator. Most students felt they could use what they learned to address environmental problems through personal or professional actions.
The survey found that students were generally satisfied with the Business Management program, particularly with regards to teacher communication, weekly course load, and class sizes. However, nearly half did not feel the "Talent and Management Development" course was relevant, indicating an area for improvement. Students were also pleased with the school's accessibility and facilities. While most aspects received positive feedback, the report recommends addressing long free periods between classes, better balancing individual and group work, and improving exam scheduling. It suggests conducting student surveys more frequently to enable quicker program improvements.
Having a balance between work and home life can be a challenge. With this challenge come great rewards when it is done successfully. By balancing a career with home life it will provide benefits in each environment. You will become healthier, mentally and physically, and you will be able to produce more career wise. With a Work-Life Balance you will be managing your time better. Better time management will benefit all aspects of life; you will be working less and producing more. This workshop will show how to focus on the important things, set accurate and achievable goals, and communicate better with your peers at work and your family at home.

The document summarizes a study on the causes of stress and its effects on the social lives of college freshmen. The study surveyed 100 freshmen at the University of Michigan about their stress levels, sources of stress, coping mechanisms, and how stress impacts them socially. The results showed that academic pressures and course load were the primary causes of stress. While most students reported high daily stress levels, it also negatively impacted their social interactions and engagement. Few students sought help from others despite interpersonal contact being beneficial for reducing stress. The study concluded that higher stress leads to less social interaction, supporting the hypothesis.

This document contains a survey questionnaire regarding waste management satisfaction in a local community. It asks respondents for demographic information and asks them to rate their level of agreement with statements about the impacts and benefits of waste collection programs on a 5-point scale. Questions also assess awareness of waste disposal laws, waste collection frequency, and satisfaction with waste segregation and the overall waste management process. The goal is to evaluate community satisfaction with current solid waste collection and sustainability programs.
This document discusses measuring the impact of women in leadership positions in India. It presents a theory of change where reservations for women in local government lead to more female leaders whose preferences and priorities differ from male leaders. Data is presented measuring each step of this theory, including administrative data on reservations, transcripts from village meetings on issues raised by men and women, and village surveys measuring public investments in areas preferred by women, like drinking water and education. The results show reservations significantly increase female leadership and that areas with more women leaders invest relatively more in issues preferred by women. This supports the hypothesis that putting more women in power can impact public spending priorities.

This document summarizes a study on the impact of poor physical health on self-management and social skills among female sex workers in Mumbai, India. The study found that the sex workers generally had low levels of self-management and social skills. Most were between 25-35 years old and had low levels of education. The majority earned less than Rs. 600 per day. Statistical tests found significant relationships between age/education and choosing this work, and between daily wages and hours worked. Overall, the study suggests poor physical health is associated with weaker self-management and social skills among this group.

This paper reports the results of three hypothesis tests conducted using survey data from 51 Harvard undergraduates. The paper tests theories that happiness comes from hard work, pleasure-seeking, and strong social ties. None of the theories received support. Spending time studying did not correlate with happiness. Those reporting more pleasure activities were not happier than those reporting fewer. And having more friends was not associated with greater happiness. The paper concludes that while the theories are not incompatible, the present data did not support any of them in explaining sources of happiness. Larger or alternative studies may be needed.
1) According to a 2007 European survey, only about 17% of Europeans report living a positive, engaged and meaningful life defined as "flourishing". Countries like Denmark, Switzerland and Austria have the highest percentages of flourishing citizens.
2) Research shows that happier people significantly outperform less happy individuals in many areas of life like work performance, physical health, social relationships, and more. A variety of positive benefits have been associated with higher levels of happiness.
3) While genetics and life circumstances influence happiness, intentional activities have the largest impact and can increase happiness levels. Various tools and interventions that target different aspects of well-being like positive emotions, relationships and meaning have been shown to improve each dimension.
This document summarizes the findings of a survey called the InTeGrate Attitudinal Instrument (IAI) that was administered to undergraduate students before and after Earth science courses. The survey looked at students' interest in Earth science careers, concern for environmental issues, and motivation for sustainability. It found that instruction increased interest in Earth science majors and careers while decreasing uncertainty. It also found that while participation in sustainable behaviors varies, saving money is a strong motivator. Most students felt they could use what they learned to address environmental problems through personal or professional actions.
The survey found that students were generally satisfied with the Business Management program, particularly with regards to teacher communication, weekly course load, and class sizes. However, nearly half did not feel the "Talent and Management Development" course was relevant, indicating an area for improvement. Students were also pleased with the school's accessibility and facilities. While most aspects received positive feedback, the report recommends addressing long free periods between classes, better balancing individual and group work, and improving exam scheduling. It suggests conducting student surveys more frequently to enable quicker program improvements.

The document summarizes a study on the causes of stress and its effects on the social lives of college freshmen. The study surveyed 100 freshmen at the University of Michigan about their stress levels, sources of stress, coping mechanisms, and how stress impacts them socially. The results showed that academic pressures and course load were the primary causes of stress. While most students reported high daily stress levels, it also negatively impacted their social interactions and engagement. Few students sought help from others despite interpersonal contact being beneficial for reducing stress. The study concluded that higher stress leads to less social interaction, supporting the hypothesis.

1.What are the main issues facing Fargo and Town Manager Susan.docxcroysierkathey
1.What are the main issues facing Fargo and Town Manager Susan Harlow?
Fargo and Town Manager Harlow are on a slippery slope to corruption. I think that Harlow is handling her position the correct way by trying to remain neutral and sticking to a code of ethics so the problem really comes down to the political actors in the town. It is good that Harlow declined the invite to the dinner party, and cracked down on employees playing politics at work, that is a step in the right direction to removing the possibility of political corruption.
2.What is the basis for your answer to question #1?
At the end of the article Harlow remembers another city manager saying “you never have more authority than the day you walk into your office” What I get from that, and what I think Harlow got from that is that when you come into a position as a public manager everyone is going to want something from you. Political actors are going to want political favors, quid pro quos, you have something that everyone else wants and they are going to try and get that from you.
3.What are your recommended solutions to the problems you identified?
I think the best thing to do would be to continue to try to remain neutral. It will always be impossible to please absolutely everybody so the best thing to do is try to avoid doing everything everyone asks and stick to some sort of code of ethics.
4.What points do you agree, disagree or want further discussion from your fellow classmates and why? (tell them not me)
I think the overarching theme of this article is that people are going to want things from the government. I agree with Harlow's steps to avoid political corruption in her administration by cracking down on political favors with the snow plows and referring to the ICMA code of ethics.

1.The following clause was added to the Food and Drug Act:
“the Secretary [of the Food and Drug Administration] shall not approve for use in food any chemical additive found to induce cancer in man, or, after tests, found to induce cancer in animals.”
After this clause was adopted, no new additives could be approved for use in food if they caused cancer in people or animals.
The public loved this and industry hated it.
What do you think of this clause? Do you support it or do you oppose it?
At the top of your post, please indicate SUPPORT or OPPOSE and then give your rationale. Then after you can view your classmates' posts, make your case to your fellow students.
2.There was a law that individuals who were indigent and who wished to litigate could apply to the courts for a total waiver of the normal filing fee. In the legislative session, however, a statute was enacted which limits the courts' authority to waive filing fees in lawsuits brought by prisoners against the state government.
Under this new law, a court has to require the prisoner to pay a filing fee "equal to 20 percent ... of the average monthly deposits made to the prisoner's [prison] account ... or the average balance in that account", whichever is greater (unless this calculation yields a figure larger than the normal filing fee).
A prisoner (who was indigent) wanted to appeal his case and was to be charged this fee. He filed suit claiming it was unconstitutional to charge this fee to prisoners.
Choose the side of the prisoner or the side of the state and tell why you would rule for the side you chose.
At the top of your post, please indicate SUPPORT PRISONER or OPPOSE PRISONER and then give your rationale. After you can view your classmates' posts, make your case to your fellow students.
3.A defendant pleaded guilty to receiving and possessing child pornography and was sentenced to 108 months in prison. The sentencing judge raised the defendant’s base offense level….by two levels because "a computer was used for the transmission" of the illegal material.

The defendant argued the law did not apply to him because he did not use a computer to transmit the material. (ie He was the receiver, not the sender, of the child pornography.)
Do you believe that the sentence enhancement should be upheld? Give an economic analysis and rational for your choice.
At the top of your post, please indicate SENTENCE UPHELD or SENTENCE REVERSED and then give your economic analysis/rationale. After you can view your classmates' posts, make your case to your fellow students.

1.This week, we’ve been introduced to the humanities and have ta.docxcroysierkathey
1.
This week, we’ve been introduced to the humanities and have taken some time to consider the role of the humanities in establishing socio-cultural values, including how the humanities differ from the sciences in terms of offering unique lenses on the world and our reality. Since one of the greatest rewards of being a human is engaging with different forms of art, we’ve taken some time this week to learn about what it means to identify and respond to a work of art. We’ve learned about the difference between abstract ideas and concrete images and concepts like structure and artistic form. To help you deepen your understanding of these foundational ideas, your Unit 1 assignment will consist of writing an essay addressing using the following criteria:
Essay Requirements:
• 1,000 words or roughly four double-spaced pages.
• Make use of at least three scholarly sources to support and develop your ideas. Our course text may serve as one of these three sources.
• Your essay should demonstrate a thorough understanding of the READ and ATTEND sections.
• Be sure to cite your sources using proper APA format (7th edition).
Essay Prompt:
• In this essay, you will consider the meaning of art and artistic form by responding to these questions:
o To what extent does Kevin Carter’s Pulitzer Prize-winning photograph (figure 2-5) have artistic form?
o Using what you’ve learned in Chapters 1, 2 and 14 explain if you consider Carter’s photograph a work of art? Be sure to point to specific qualities of the photograph to support/develop your response.
o How do you measure the intensity of your experience in response to Carter’s photograph? What does it make you see/feel/imagine and how does your response/reaction support Carter’s image as a work of art?

ABSTRACT
The relationship between life satisfaction, attachment styles,
and psychological resilience
in university students
Objective: The main aim of the current research is to investigate
the relationship of attachment styles to life satisfaction
and psychological resilience of university students. Another aim
of the present study is to see whether life satisfaction
scores differ by the subjects’ level of psychological resilience.
Method: The current work is a descriptive study using the
relational screaning model. The study sample consisted of 425
university students, 302 of whom (71.1%) were female and the
remaining 123 (29.9%) male. Convenience sampling was used
in selecting the sample. The sample group was composed of
undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral students. Data was
collected through Experiences in Close Relationships Scale II
(ECRS-II) for attachment styles, the Satisfaction with Life
Scale
(SCLS) for life satisfaction, and the Resilience Scale for Adults
(RSA) for psychological resilience.
Results: Research findings concerning attachment styles of
university students indicated that 49.4% of the sample
displayed an avoidant and 48.9% an anxious attachment pattern.
Individuals taking a score below the median in both
anxious and avoidant dimensions of attachment, which
constituted 31.7% of the study population, were defined as
being
securely attached. Study findings showed that the anxiety and
avoidance sub-dimensions of attachment negatively
predicted the total score of satisfaction with life. An increase in
anxious and avoidant attachment scores was associated
with lower levels of life satisfaction. Multiple regression
17. analysis revealed that the anxious and avoidant attachment
styles
did not predict psychological resilience. In addition,
satisfaction with life scores of university students varied
according to
levels of psychological resilience. Individuals who had a high
level of psychological resilience were found to have increased
satisfaction with life compared to those who had a low level of
psychological resilience.
Discussion: There are many studies indicating attachment styles
to be the main determinant of subjective well-being.
Study findings show that secure attachment affects satisfaction
with life, which is one of the elements of subjective well-
being and positive development. It is seen that the ability of
university students to adapt to stressful and difficult conditions
and to cope with unfavorable situations is associated with their
satisfaction with life. Thus, psychotherapeutic interventions
focused on improvement of attachment relations and
enhancement of psychological resilience may increase the
overall
satisfaction with life.
Keywords: Attachment styles, life satisfaction, psychological
resilience, subjective well-being

Tartışma: Bağlanma ilişkilerinin, öznel iyi oluşun temel
belirleyicisi olduğunu gösteren pek çok çalışma bulunmaktadır.
Araştırmadan elde edilen bulgular güvenli bağlanmanın, pozitif
gelişimin ve öznel iyi oluşun bileşenlerinden biri olan
yaşam doyumunu etkilediğini göstermektedir. Üniversite
19. öğrencilerinin stres ve zorlu durumlara uyum gösterme ve
negatif durumlarla başa çıkma yetisinin, yaşamdan aldıkları
doyumla ilişkili olduğu görülmektedir. Bağlanma ilişkilerini
geliştirmeye ve psikolojik dayanıklılığı artırmaya yönelik
psikoterapötik girişimlerin genel yaşam doyumunu artıracağı
düşünülmektedir.

INTRODUCTION
The interaction with the primary caregiver (mostly the mother)
in the first years of life is thought to
have a relatively critical impact on peoples’ lives.
Attachment theory examines the relationship between
infant and primary caregiver and explains the
development of personality on the basis of this
relationship (1,2). Attachment is defined in the
broadest sense as ‘emotional bond developed to a
special person’ (1-3). The need for emotional bonding
is highly functional for the survival and developmental
course of the newborn (4-7). The emotional bond
established with the primary caregiver also serves as a
“secure base” that allows for the child to explore the
surroundings (3,8,9).
The attachment pattern based on the emotional
interaction between the mother and the infant during
early childhood maintains its impact also in adulthood
(10), affecting the individual’s mental health and
behaviors.
Not least thanks to the effects of positive
psychology, psychological research is increasingly
focusing on the importance of life satisfaction (11). Life
satisfaction is a component of subjective well-being
(12) and a positive indicator of mental health (13).
21. Experimental studies emphasize the protective
mechanism of life satisfaction against negative effects of
stress and the development of psychological disorders
(14). Moreover, while high levels of life satisfaction are
associated with happiness and good living conditions
(15), low levels of life satisfaction are associated with
depression and unhappiness (11). Substantial evidence
suggests that attachment styles are the key determinants
of subjective well-being (16). It is seen that individuals
with secure attachments have high self-esteem with
both increased academic achievements and life
satisfaction (17).
Studies show that attachment has a direct impact on
life satisfaction (17-19). Psychological resilience is
defined in the most general sense as the ability to adapt
to stressful and difficult conditions. Psychological
resilience, also conceptualized as ‘stress-resistant
attitude’, represents the ability to cope with unfavorable
situations (20,21). The theories explaining psychological
resilience based on the developmental process actually
take into consideration the relationship established by
the child with the primary caregiver. Therefore,
psychological resilience is based on the child’s early
attachment relationships (21,22). While attachment
theorists assume that secure attachment enhances
psychological resilience (23,24), only a limited number
of studies have examined the relationship between
attachment and resilience (25). Several studies reported
that psychological resilience was also associated with a
high level of life satisfaction (26). This study primarily
aimed to examine the relationship of attachment styles
(anxious and ambivalent) of university students to their
life satisfaction and psychological resilience levels.
Another aim of the study was to see whether the life
satisfaction of university students differs according to
22. psychological resilience levels. Finally, the study also
aimed to examine the distribution of attachment
dimensions among university students.
METHOD
The study population consists of university
students enrolled in various faculties at state and
private universities of Turkey in the academic year
2016-2017. Convenience sampling was used in
selecting the sample. For this purpose, classes were
chosen randomly in the psychology department of
Fatih Sultan Mehmet Foundation University.
Responses to the measurement tools were obtained on
a voluntary basis. At Bogazici University, two courses
that were mandatory for all departments such as
History or Turkish were randomly selected and student
volunteers completed the scales. The scale items were

the study. Out of 425 participating students, 71.1%
were female and 28.9% were male. The age range in
the sample including undergraduate, master’s, and
doctoral students was between 18 and 39 years
(Mean=22:50, SD=3.26). While the majority of

23. students (70.8%) were studying at private universities,
28.5% were studying at state universities and 0.7% at
other (unidentified) universities. Distribution of the
study population by faculties showed that 65.9% were
from a faculty of science and letters, 9.6% from an
engineering faculty, 7.5% from a faculty of economics
and administrative sciences, 4.5% from a faculty of
education, 2.4% from a faculty of health sciences,
1.6% from a theological faculty, 1.2% from a faculty of
law, 0.9% from a faculty of communication, and 6.1%
from other faculties. Most of the study population
(86.4%) consisted of undergraduate students, whereas
10.1% and 3.5% of students were enrolled in master’s
and Ph.D. programs, respectively.
Measures
This study was approved by the ethics committee of
Fatih Sultan Mehmet Foundation University. The
measurement tools used in the current study were
administered individually to the students at Fatih Sultan
Mehmet Vakif University and Bogazici University. In
addition, students at other universities were reached via
Google Docs, where those who agreed to participate
voluntarily filled in online surveys. Confidentiality was
observed during administration and informed consent
was obtained from all students participating in the
study. It took approximately 15-20 minutes for the
student participants to complete the questionnaire.

demographic information form prepared by the
researcher according to the purpose of the study is
composed of 16 questions about participants’ gender,
age, marital status, university and department where
24. they studied, financial status, the environments where
they mostly live in, birth order, academic achievement,
educational status of their parents, relationships with
their friends, and perceived peer influence.
Experiences in Close Relationships Scale II
(ECRS-II): In this study, ECRS-II was utilized, which
is commonly used for determining attachment styles in
adults and has a high measurement sensitivity.
Developed by Fraley et al. (27) in 2000, ECRS-II was
prepared as a 7-point Likert-type scale. It consists of 36
items, measuring two subscales: anxiety about
attachment (18 items) and avoidance of attachment (18
items). The odd-numbered items measure the anxiety
dimension and the even-numbered items the avoidance
dimension. Two different total scores are obtained
from the scale, varying between 18 and 126 for each
sub-dimension. An increase in the scores of the
subscales indicates an increase of anxiety or avoidance
of attachment, respectively (27).
The Turkish validity and reliability study of the
scale was performed by Selcuk et al. (28) Cronbach’s
alpha coefficient was found to be 0.90 for the
avoidance dimension and 0.86 for the anxiety
dimension. It was also reported that ECRS-II had a
high test-retest reliability, which was 0.81 for the
avoidance dimension and 0.82 for the anxiety
dimension. Cronbach’s alpha coefficients were
detected as 0.88 for both anxious attachment and
avoidant attachment in this study.
The Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS): SWLS
was developed by Diener et al. (15) in 1985. The scale,
which aims to measure general life satisfaction, consists
of five items and each item is answered according to a
25. rating system of seven. An increase in the scores of the
scale indicates that general life satisfaction is increasing.
The Turkish adaptation of the scale was performed by
Koker (29). The item-test correlations of the Turkish
form of the scale vary between 0.71 and 0.80. The test-
retest coefficient was found to be 0.85 (29). Cronbach’s
alpha internal consistency coefficient of the scale was
detected to be 0.83 in this study.
Resilience Scale for Adults (RSA): RSA was
developed in 2003 by Friborg et al. (30). The scale
consists of five sub-dimensions. These dimensions are:
(1) personal strength; (2) structured style; (3) social
competence; (4) family cohesion; and (5) social
resources. In a study by Friborg et al. (30) in 2005, the
personal strength sub-dimension was further divided
into two sub-dimensions, ‘perception of self’ and
‘perception of future’, eliciting a six-factor structure.
Tepeli-Temiz Z, Tari-Comert I
277Dusunen Adam The Journal of Psychiatry and Neurological
Sciences, Volume 31, Number 3, September 2018
The Turkish adaptation of the scale was performed
by Basim and Cetin (31). The total Cronbach’s alpha
coefficient of the original scale is 0.86. Internal
consistency coefficients for the sub-dimensions of the
scale range from 0.66 to 0.81. Test-retest reliability
values range from 0.68 to 0.81. The reliability of the
scale was determined as 0.81. The scale has a six-factor
structure that overlaps with the original scale (31). The
internal consistency coefficient was found to be 0.89 in
the current study. Internal consistency coefficients of
26. the subscales were calculated between 0.59 and 0.78.
Statistical Analysis
SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences for
Windows) Version 21.0 was used for the statistical
analysis of the data obtained from the data collection
tools. Student’s t test and one-way analysis of variance
(ANOVA) were used to see whether demographic
variables differed with respect to anxiety and avoidance
dimensions, satisfaction with life, and psychological
resilience. In addition, one-way ANOVA was used to
assess the differentiation in the life satisfaction scores
according psychological resilience levels. Chi-square
test and correlation and multiple regression analyzes
were performed to assess the relationship of
independent variables (anxious-avoidant attachment)
with dependent variables (satisfaction with life,
psychological resilience, alexithymia). It was examined
whether the assumptions of multiple regression
analysis were met, and the data were found to exhibit
normal distribution. Since the correlation coefficients
between the predictor variables ranged from 0.372 to
0.374, it was determined that there was no multi-
collinearity problem. Multi-collinearity was also
examined in terms of variance inflation factors
(VIF<10), tolerance value (Tolerance>0.20), and
condition index (CI<30). Residual values were studies
with Mahalonobis distances and a multivariable
normality was assumed.

education levels of their parents. While 38.4% (n=163)
of the mothers were primary school graduates, 39.3%
(n=167) of the fathers were university graduates.
Table 1 shows the descriptive statistics of the
study population in terms of scores obtained from
different scales. ECRS-II has two dimensions (anxiety

below 56.00 were defined as having a non-avoidant
attachment pattern whereas those above 56.00 were
defined as having an avoidant attachment pattern.
According to these criteria, the analysis showed that
49.4% of participants (n=210) had an avoidant
attachment pattern and 48.9% (n=208) an anxious
attachment pattern. Subjects who had low scores
from both anxious and avoidant attachment
dimensions were labeled with a secure attachment
pattern (n=135).
The mean score for psychological resilience of
securely attached individuals was 99.23 with a
standard deviation of 0.52. The satisfaction with life
scores of securely attached participants had a mean
value of 25.49 with a standard deviation of 0.50.
29. Participants’ scores for psychological resilience
and satisfaction with life were divided into two
groups based on their median scores. Chi-square

whether there was an association between avoidant
attachment patterns and level of psychological

independence test, performed to determine whether
there was an association between anxious attachment
patterns and level of psychological resilience, also
revealed no significant association between anxious
attachment and resilience (χ2=1.001, p>0.05).
Chi-square independence test showed a significant
relationship between avoidant attachment patterns
and level of satisfaction with life (low-high) among
university students (χ2=18.737, p<0.001) and also
demonstrated a significant association between
anxious attachment and satisfaction with life
(χ2=14.785, p<0.001).
Pearson correlation analysis was performed to
determine whether there was a linear relationship
between dependent and independent variables. The
findings showed that sex, perceived academic
achievement, the ECRS avoidance sub-dimension, and
satisfaction with life were associated with each other
(p<0.05). Order of birth was found to be positively
correlated with academic achievement (p=0.007,
p<0.05). Financial status, the place where they had
spent most of their lives (p=0.016, p<0.05), parents’
education level (p<0.001, p<0.001), and relationships
with friends (p=0.001, p<0.01) were positively
30. associated with life satisfaction (p<0.001, p<0.01) and
negatively associated with psychological resilience
(p=0.006, p<0.01). As the economic level increases,
people are more likely to live in urban centers and big
cities. The universities (state or foundation) of the
students were associated with their satisfaction with

life at a level of p=0.040, p<0.05, with psychological
resilience at a level of p=0.028, p<0.05 and with
attachment-avoidance sub-dimension scores at a level
of p=0.007, p<0.05. While there was a significant
positive correlation of relationship with friends with
satisfaction with life, it was negatively associated with
the anxiety-avoidance dimensions of attachment. As
the number of close friends of the people increases,
satisfaction with life rises and insecure attachment
levels decrease. There was no significant relationship
between sex and psychological resilience (p=0.063)
and the anxious attachment sub-dimension (p=0.808).
Nevertheless, sex is significantly associated with
satisfaction with life (p=0.014, p<0.05) and the
avoidant attachment sub-dimension (p<0.001, p<0.01).
There is a significant relationship between age and
32. psychological resilience (p=0.001, p<0.01). In the
analyses regarding satisfaction with life, we examined
by one-way ANOVA whether the differences between
satisfaction with life and its potential independent
variables (academic achievement, perceived economic
level, perception of future, relationships with friends,
education level, self-esteem, psychological resilience)
were significant. The findings of these analyses are
shown in Table 2.
A significant difference was found between the
groups in the total scores of satisfaction with life with
respect to the level of academic achievement (high-
intermediate-low), (F
[2,420]
=6.78; p=0.001). Analysis of
Levene’s homogeneity of variance indicates that the
variances are homogeneous (p=0.873). Bonferroni test
was performed for post-hoc analysis. Satisfaction with
life was found to be significantly higher in patients with
a high level of perceived academic achievement
(Mean=24.36, SD=6.18) than in those with an
intermediate (Mean=23.15, SD=6.21) and low
(Mean=19.79, SD=6.04) level of academic achievement.
Analysis of the total scores of satisfaction with life
based on perceived economic level (low-middle-high)
revealed that there was a significant difference between
the groups (F
[2,420]
=33.072, p<0.001). Levene’s
homogeneity of variance analysis shows that the
variances are not homogeneous (p=0.003). Accordingly,
33. satisfaction with life differs among university students
in terms of perceived economic level. Examining the
mean difference of total scores of perception of the
future sub-dimension of RSA and satisfaction with life
shows a significant association (F
[1,419]
=16.123,
p=0.000). Levene’s homogeneity of variance reveals
that variances are homogeneous (p=0.453).
For the relationship with friends, a significant
difference between the groups was seen (F
[13,409]
=2.510,
p=0.003). Analysis of Levene’s homogeneity of
variance shows that variances are homogeneous
(p=0.068). Findings show that satisfaction with life is
significantly higher for those with more than one
close friend (Mean=24.04, SD=5.99). A significant
difference was also found between education level
(undergraduate, master, doctorate) and satisfaction
with life (F
[2,420]
=4.185, p=0.016). Analysis of Levene’s
homogeneity of variance shows that variances are
homogeneous (p=0.348). Mean scores of satisfaction
with life were higher (Mean=27.33, SD=5.51) in
participants who study for their doctorate compared
to undergraduates and master’s students.
One-way ANOVA was performed to test whether
satisfaction with life differs according to psychological
34. resilience levels. The total scores of psychological
resilience were divided into three groups: 1 standard
deviation below the mean, the mean, 1 standard
deviation above the mean. There is a significant
difference between satisfaction with life scores in terms
of psychological resilience level (F
[2,420]
=4.896,
p=0.008). Analysis of Levene’s homogeneity of

35. variance shows that variances are homogeneous
(p=0.550). As the level of psychological resilience rises,
satisfaction with life increases. Bonferroni test was
performed for post-hoc analysis. Satisfaction with life
scores of the group with high psychological resilience
(Mean=25.39, SD=6.49) were found to be significantly
higher than those with low psychological resilience
(Mean=21.5217, SD=5.42). These findings suggest that
satisfaction with life differs among university students,
based on their psychological resilience levels.
The anxiety and avoidance dimensions of
attachment that are thought to have an effect on
“satisfaction with life”, one of the indicators of
subjective well-being, were tested to disclose the
presence of such an effect using the “enter” method in
multiple regression analysis. The analysis shows that
anxious and avoidant attachment accounts for 11% of
the variance in satisfaction with life. It was observed
that insecure attachment dimensions were significantly
associated with life satisfaction (R=0.338, R2=0.115),
and anxiety and avoidance sub-dimensions of
attachment were found to be a significant predictor of
satisfaction with life (F
[2,420]
=27.162, p<0.001). The
increase in satisfaction with life was detected to be
related to the reduction in anxious and avoidant
attachment scores. The relative significance of the
predictor variables with respect to the standardized
regression coefficients (ß) is anxious attachment (ß=-
0.235) and avoidant attachment (ß=-0.172). The
regression analysis results regarding prediction of
satisfaction with life by attachment dimensions are
36. given in Table 3.
A multiple regression analysis was conducted to
show that the anxiety and avoidance sub-dimensions
of attachment predicted the total score of the RSA,
one of the indicators of psychological resilience. This
analysis showed no significant associations of either
anxious or avoidant attachment dimensions with
psychological resilience (R=0.092, R2=0.008) and
attachment sub-dimensions were not found to be a
significant predictor of psychological resilience
(F
[2,422]
=1.805, p>0.05). The regression analysis results
regarding prediction of psychological resilience by
attachment dimensions are given in Table 4.
DISCUSSION
This study aims to examine the distribution of
university students’ attachment dimensions and the
relationship of insecure attachment patterns to
satisfaction with life and psychological resilience.
Analyzes performed in view of the aims of the study
indicate that most of the university students exhibit
insecure attachment (anxiety-avoidant) patterns. The
level of satisfaction with life is significantly lower in
insecurely attached individuals than that in securely
attached people. Another aim of the study is to see
whether the life satisfaction of university students
differs by their psychological resilience levels. Our
findings indicate that satisfaction with life differs
depending on psychological resilience levels,
increasing with a higher level of satisfaction with life.
37. Similar to previous studies, the presence of a two-
way relationship between life satisfaction and
psychological resilience may be suggested (26). The
relationship between the perception of future sub-
dimension of the RSA and satisfaction with life was
also investigated. Several studies reported a
r e l a t i o n s h i p b e t w e e n u n i v e r s i t y s t u d e n t
s ’
expectations about the future and the satisfaction
with their lives. It was reported that life satisfaction
was increased among those who perceived a positive
future (32). This finding is supported by the current
study.

Satisfaction with life is thought to be related to
ac ad e mic a chie vement (33). This hypothesis
resembles the results of the studies performed by Tov
and Diener (12) and Proctor et al. (11). Because of
concerns about the future, university students
consider their academic achievements as an important
factor for the ability to create their professional
identities (32).
According to Vitters, the personality characteristic
of extroversion is closely related to subjective well-
being (32). Dost (32), who studied the differentiation
of life satisfaction of university students according to
their level of loneliness, reported that the level of
loneliness increased with reduced satisfaction with life.
In this study, relationship with friends were
investigated to measure the association between
loneliness and life satisfaction. The latter was
significantly higher in those with multiple close friends
than those without. Analyses to determine whether
there is a significant relationship between sex and
satisfaction with life seem to remain controversial.
While there are studies showing that life satisfaction
differs according to sex (32), some others report that
there is no significant association between sex and
satisfaction with life (34). The results obtained from
this study show that the life satisfaction of female
participants is significantly higher than that of their
male counterparts. According to Diener, socio-
economic status is one of the main factors affecting
satisfaction with life (35). In this study, perceived
economic status was also found to be related to
satisfaction with life, in accordance with the findings in
the study by Proctor et al. (11).
Numerous studies regarding satisfaction with life
39. indicate that attachment relationships are key
determinants of subjective well-being (16). The study
by Hwang et al. (17) shows that satisfaction with life is
high among securely attached individuals. A substantial
number of studies indicate that attachment has a direct
impact on satisfaction with life (17,18). In this study, it
was observed that there was a significant relationship
of anxious and avoidant attachment dimensions with
life satisfaction; and these dimensions of attachment
were found to be significant predictors of satisfaction
with life. Findings of the current study support previous
reports in the literature. In this context, therapeutic
modalities that target disturbances in the attachment
system or focus on an improvement of family
relationships in an attachment-oriented manner, such
as attachment-based family therapy, may help to
increase individuals’ overall satisfaction with life.
The relationship between psychological resilience
and attachment has been examined in a limited number
of studies. Theories that attempt to explain
psychological resilience during the developmental
process suggest that supportive and reassuring family
interaction in early childhood shapes the child’s ability
to withstand challenging situations in adulthood
(35,21). In this context, studies by Kurilova (22) and
Jenkins (21) reveal that anxiety and avoidance
dimensions of attachment (36,37) negatively correlate
with psychological resilience. These studies suggest
anxious attachment to be an important predictor of
resilience, yet no such predictive ability is reported for
avoidant attachment. The hypothesis that attachment
styles predict psychological resilience was not
confirmed by the current study. The fact that avoidant
attachment did not predict psychological resilience
supports the results in the literature. Further studies to
40. be performed with different populations are needed to
test the relationship between attachment styles and
resilience.
In conclusion, attachment styles appear to be
closely related to satisfaction with life in adulthood.
On the other hand, as individuals’ satisfaction with life
rises, the level of adaptation to stress and resilience
also increases. It is thought that psychotherapeutic
interventions that are directed to modulate emotions,
improve the environment of trust between personal
relationships, and help coping with stress will enhance
secure attachment, overall satisfaction with life, and
psychological resilience.

51. The Effects of School and Work on College Students’ Life
Satisfaction
As college students who work more than 25 hours a week,
balancing school and work life is a daunting task to complete.
We often find ourselves in the midst of sacrificing study time
for extra work hours and vise versa. Our study aims to
understand how the life satisfaction of college student’s varies,
depending on whether they work full time, part time, or are
unemployed. According to a report done by the Georgetown
University Center on Education and the Workforce, about 14
million college students are employed (Strahota, 2015).
Working has become a fundamental responsibility for many
college students, including undergraduate and graduate
students. According to the NCES, “ In 2017, the percentage of
undergraduate students who were employed was higher among
part-time students (81 percent) than among full-time students
(43 percent). Our study also aims to determine any underlying
factors that can affect student’s life satisfaction. According to a
study conducted by Lang, the more hours students work per
week off campus results in less time socializing compared to
students who work on campus (Lang, 2012). Lang stated, “With
only so many hours in the day, something has to proverbially
“give” and it appears that many students who work off-campus
are willing to sacrifice time spent socializing and relaxing in
return for more money” (2012). Balancing school and work
can become very stressful and trying to keep up with other
aspects of life adds further stress, therefore, working college
students are less satisfied with their lives than non working
college students.
52. LITERATURE REVIEW
Throughout the U.S., many college students work while
attending school. Whether you work full- time or part-time,
being employed helps you pay personal expenses along with
school expenses. However, there are students who don’t work
because they may have financial support from their parents or
other sources. Most students who are full-time or part-time
students are employed and it is easier for them to be susceptible
to distraction because of this, leading to a stress-filled life.
“The ability of university students to adapt to stressful and
difficult conditions and to cope with unfavorable situations is
associated with their satisfaction with life” (Temiz, 2018).
Employed college students are more likely to encounter
difficulties in socializing, sleeping, and in more severe cases,
can even develop depression. This can lead to a decline in
health status which can become concerning, and should be
acknowledged in order to maintain mental and physical
stability. “Adult college students who return to school have
multiple factors affecting their life satisfaction such as family,
work, and school. These factors were set as the predictor of
students negative affect in a sample of working students from
across the country” (Denning, 2018). Working students face
many circumstances that make it difficult for them to
accomplish their goals and responsibilities. For example, some
situations that working students may face include the situation
where they did not get promoted, they did not pass a test, they
are not being acknowledged for their work. This can easily have
a negative impact on the satisfaction they feel with how their
life is going. According to the research, “Having the time of
their life: College Student Stress Dating and Satisfaction with
Life”, conducted by Catherine Coccia and Carol A. Darling,
college students who work are less satisfied with their life due
to
the lack of sleep, more stress, watching television and not
socializing with people. The study shows that “college students
53. face pressure from all elements of their environment; however,
the manner in which students approach their socio physical
environment may influence their overall life satisfaction”
(2016). This study gives us an insight as to how there are many
unseen/unaccounted for factors that play a role in life
satisfaction. Comparably, the article, “Not all roles are the
same: An examination between work, family, school
satisfaction, social integration, and negative affect among
college students” mentions how the greater amount of roles a
student has, the greater their stress will be, which can result in
low life satisfaction. For example, students who are trying to
balance work, school, and other responsibilities may have a
harder time trying to reach their life goals. Therefore, in our
own study, we decided to identify how the importance of
balance impacts students in terms of life satisfaction. All the
evidence presented leads us to the hypothesis that college
students who work either full-time or part-time are less satisfied
with their lives than college students who are unemployed.
54. METHODS
Participants
For this study, our participants will consist of East Los Angeles
community college students as well as students from other
community colleges and universities in the surrounding areas.
We will recruit participants by sharing an online link to our
survey with our peers and by posting the link on several social
media outlets. We will also share the online link with coworkers
who are enrolled in a community college or university.
Participants must be over the age of 18 in order to take part in
our study. We will not require the participants to be employed
since we are testing to see how life satisfaction varies between
part-time, full-time, and unemployed participants. We hope to
have 150 participants take part in our online survey with an
outcome of at least 100 valid surveys considering that we might
receive unanswered questions or missing data from the survey.
Materials
We will be conducting an online survey to gather data for our
study. The survey will consist of 40, 4-point likert scale
questions (1 being “extremely disagree” to 4 being “extremely
agree”), five multiple choice questions, and four open ended
questions. The purpose of the survey is to measure life
satisfaction and gather demographic data (see appendix B). We
plan on using Cronbach’s alpha to measure the internal
consistency in our data and multiple regression to predict the
value of our dependent variable as well as the other variables
that we will be taking into account. A consent form will be
given to all participants at the beginning of the survey (see
Appendix A).
Design
In order to achieve a successful research we decided to conduct
a survey design to receive accurate results. The survey will
include 40 four-point likert scale questions, six multiple choice,
and four open ended questions in order to measure life
55. satisfaction within college students. We decided to use a
convenience sampling method in order to select our
participants. Our independent variables are college students
who work either full time, part time, or are unemployed. Our
dependent variable is life satisfaction. We will also be testing to
see if other factors, aside from employment status, affect
students' life satisfaction, for example: age, gender, and social
life. The degree of sincerity of the students surveyed will be a
variable affecting the study. We will use multiple regression to
find those how closely items are related in the study.
Procedure
Before beginning the online survey that we will be providing,
the participants will be given a consent form which will inform
them of what our study is about and the role that they will be
taking if they decide to participate. The participants will then
complete our online survey. The survey itself is expected to last
for about 25-30 minutes. All data collected will be saved on the
online database so that it can be analyzed. We will keep in mind
the possibility of receiving surveys that are incomplete and/or
the participant didn’t meet the proper requirements in order to
be part of the study, therefore, we hope that at least 100 valid
surveys will be analyzed. We will use SPSS to analyze the
information we receive from the questionnaire and use multiple
regression analysis to analyze the links between independent
and dependent variables along with their relationship to validate
our hypothesis.
