Classes beyond the classroom? Social class and the perceived value of non-formal education for skills development
Previous research has extensively documented class differences in the value attached to formal education. However, less is known about class differences in conceptions of non-formal education as a route for skills development. To address this gap, we distinguish between two conceptions of education, narrow and expansive, based on the degree of acceptance of non-formal education as a setting where skills can be developed (breadth), and views on th…
Mapping Religious and Spiritual Comfort Worldwide
Prior research highlights the role of religious and spiritual (R/S) comfort in coping with adversity, particularly in Global North contexts. This study examined R/S comfort across 22 countries and various demographics, using representative data from 202,898 individuals participating in the Global Flourishing Study. For each demographic category country-specific proportions of R/S comfort were estimated by country and then pooled using random-effe…
Religious Reading across Borders and Demographics
Previous research on religiosity mainly focuses on religious service attendance and prayer. Less is known about reading and listening to sacred texts (RLST) across cultures. This study examines RLST habits across 22 countries and key demographic groups, using data from 202,898 individuals. The country-specific results are pooled using a random-effects meta-analysis. The prevalence of RLST varied substantially, from 4% in Japan to 70% in Tanzania,…
Signature Strengths Use is More Strongly Associated with Well-being in Individualistic than in Collectivist Societies
Prior research has established a positive association between signature strengths use and hedonic well-being. However, evidence concerning its relationship with eudaimonic well-being remains comparatively less explored. Moreover, the role of cultural factors in shaping these associations has received insufficient attention. This study explores how cultural context influences the association between signature strengths use and well-being, guided b…
Culture and creativity, skills building, and growth
In this paper, we discuss the role of culture and creativity as a so far neglected growth factor, filling an important gap in the existing literature. We analyse both the relevant theoretical and empirical studies, and we find that there is a solid basis to integrate culture and creativity into a more comprehensive growth paradigm. Working on the Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC) database, we adopt a cross-s…
Stress reduction from landscape painting and live nature viewing
Background: Societal trends indicate a decreasing frequency of visits to natural settings and an increasing withdrawal from such environments. Separation from natural environments may lead individuals to miss out on the health benefits associated with direct exposure to nature, including stress reduction and positive mood enhancement. Given these trends, surrogate exposures to live nature exposure might comparably reduce stress and are worth expl…

Reassessing the Role of Financial Knowledge and Confidence for Financial Outcomes Across Income Groups in the EU
This research utilizes Flash Eurobarometer data ( N = 26,139) collected in 2023 from 27 EU nations to examine the link between financial knowledge, financial confidence, income, and financial outcomes. The findings reaffirm positive correlations between these factors and the examined financial outcomes. Notably, financial confidence often shows a stronger association with the likelihood of achieving financial outcomes than objective financial kno…
Bidirectional, longitudinal associations between finance and health - what comes first? Evidence from middle-aged and older adults in Europe
Analysis of demographic variation and childhood correlates of financial well-being across 22 countries
Using nationally representative data from 202,898 participants in the Global Flourishing Study, this work examines factors associated with financial well-being across 22 countries. We investigate how demographic factors—including age, gender, marital status, employment status, education, religious service attendance and immigration status—are correlated with financial well-being (as assessed through four dimensions). Additionally, we analyse asso…
Discrepancies in Signature Strengths Identification
Signature strengths (SS) are the most central and prominent character strengths in a person’s profile. They can be self-nominated or identified as the top strengths in a character strengths profile. This study investigates discrepancies between self-identified signature strengths (S-SS) and those identified by the VIA Inventory of Strengths (VIA-IS). Data from a large international sample of 31,527 respondents from 142 countries were analyzed to …
From hardship to resilience
This study examines the prospective associations between subjective childhood financial conditions and adult well-being outcomes across 22 countries, with a specific focus on differences between WEIRD and less WEIRD contexts. Using nationally representative cross-sectional data from 202,898 individuals, we analyzed retrospective reports of childhood financial conditions - categorized as "lived comfortably," "got by," "found it difficult," and "fo…
Do All Savings Matter Equally? Saving Types and Emotional Well-Being Among Older Adults
Ill-being and mental ill-health have been on the rise in both Europe and the United States, especially among middle-aged and older adults. Although financial security has been shown to play a protective role in emotional well-being, little is known about the protective role of different types of family assets on mental health and well-being. Using longitudinal survey data from the Survey of Health, Aging and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) collected…
Bidirectional associations between meaning in life and the health, emotional ill-being and daily life functioning outcomes among older adults
OBJECTIVE: Meaning and purpose in life are recognised health determinants. Evidence on the factors contributing to the experience of meaning and purpose in life is limited. The bidirectional associations between the experience of meaning in life and physical health, emotional ill-being and daily life functioning from a 6-year perspective are examined. METHODS AND MEASURES: Longitudinal data from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Euro…
Associations of orientation to promote good in challenging situations with distress and well‐being
We examine whether an orientation to promote good serves as a potential buffer against distress and facilitator of well‐being outcomes in three non‐Western samples with a recent history of conflict (Indonesia, Colombia, Mexico) and across three different time frames (1, 4 and 12 months). Longitudinal surveys provided data for cross‐lagged panel modelling. A series of sensitivity analyses provided evidence for the robustness of results. Persons wi…
Mind-stimulating leisure activities
Introduction: This study examines prospective associations within a 6-year perspective between three mind-stimulating leisure activities (relaxed and solitary: reading; serious and solitary: doing number and word games; serious and social: playing cards and games) and 21 outcomes in (1) physical health, (2) wellbeing, (3) daily life functioning, (4) cognitive impairment, and (5) longevity domains. Methods: Data were obtained from 19,821 middle-ag…
Character strengths and health-related quality of life in a large international sample
We examine associations between 24 character strengths (CS) and 15 health-related outcomes. We hypothesize that CS are favorably associated with positive health-related quality of life (HRQoL) outcomes, health behaviors, purpose in life, and lead to lower disease risk. Data from a large sample of approximately 60,000 respondents from 159 countries were used. CS yielding the most significant favorable associations across HRQoL outcomes were zest, …
National Culture and Financial Capability
The origins of financial capability assessed at the country level can be traced back to the socio-economic and quality of life factors. However, the role of national culture should be considered equally important. Hence, differences in national culture are hypothesized to correlate with average financial capability levels at the country level. This study attempts to answer an important question: What is the relationship between culture and financ…
Psychological caring climate at work, mental health, well-being, and work-related outcomes
Psychological climate for caring (PCC) is a psychosocial factor associated with individual work outcomes and employee well-being. Evidence on the impacts of various psychological climates at work is based mostly on self-reported health measures and cross-sectional data. We provide longitudinal evidence on the associations of PCC with subsequent diagnosed depression and anxiety, subjective well-being, and self-reported work outcomes. Employees of …
Longitudinal Evidence for Reciprocal Effects Between Life Satisfaction and Job Satisfaction
Graduate employability in Europe
The link between higher education and employment is central to the understanding of social stratification and social mobility. We use three theories to analyse the importance of education and credentials in recruitment decisions in European graduate labour markets: human capital (HC), network capital (NC) and reputational capital (RC) theory. Latent class modelling was applied to data from over 5,000 European private-sector companies to allow seg…
Deregulation, quality and access—The case of legal professionals in Poland
This article provides a comprehensive assessment of changes in the quality of legal services in Poland. From 2005 to 2015, changes in the regulatory framework facilitated access to legal professions in Poland, providing a space for employment growth. Our analysis showed that an increase in the number of legal professionals following deregulation did not lead to a decline in the quality of legal services in any dimensions. However, it coincided wi…

The role of financial conditions for physical and mental health. Evidence from a longitudinal survey and insurance claims data
Policy-makers might consider the introduction of more effective measures for ensuring favorable financial conditions as an important contributor to better population health. Furthermore, policy could encourage teaching adequate financial management techniques and the importance of understanding of long-term consequences of financial decisions, as those might be pivotal for health outcomes
The Role of Financial Fragility and Financial Control for Well-Being
Financial fragility is recognized as a substantial issue for individual well-being. Various estimates show that between 46 and 59% of American adults are financially fragile and thus vulnerable in terms of their well-being. We argue that the role of financial control in shaping well-being outcomes-despite being less recognized in the literature than the role of financial fragility-is equally or even more important. Our study is a longitudinal coh…

The impact of workplace harassment and domestic violence on work outcomes in the developing world
Workers’ mistreatment is a serious problem, particularly for disadvantaged populations in the global garment supply chain who are often subjected to human and labor rights violations. Workplace abuses are believed to originate from human resource management practices, which aim to reduce production costs and achieve inflated production targets. Improvements in worker well-being are often perceived as costs rather than investments. Family life mig…

Cultural events – does attendance improve health? Evidence from a Polish longitudinal study
We showed the relation between attendance at cultural events and self-reported health could only be confirmed as associational. Therefore, this study provided little justification to encourage use of passive cultural participation as a measure of health promotion (improvement). Our study did not confirm any identifiable benefit to physical health from passive participation in culture. Future research should investigate the causative influence of …

Well-Being in Life and Well-Being at Work
Understanding reciprocal relationships between specific arenas in life and at work is critical for designing interventions to improve workplace health and safety. Most studies about the links between dimensions of well-being in life and at work have been cross-sectional and usually narrowly focused on one of the dimensions of the work-life well-being link. The issues of causality and feedback between life and work well-being have often not been a…
Psychological Climate for Caring and Work Outcomes
The current literature's focus on unidirectional effects of psychological and organizational climates at work on work outcomes fails to capture the full relationship between these factors. This article examines whether a psychological climate for caring contributes to specific work outcomes and investigates whether work outcomes support the climate for caring, creating a feedback loop. Results confirm a bi-directional, temporal association betwee…
