The present study sought to extend work on subjective well-being using Lent’s (2004) model. Specifically, the role of goal attainment in the academic and social domains, and the value accorded these domains, in the pathway to life satisfaction was examined using self-report data from 354 Singapore university students. Results demonstrated a role for goal attainment and domain value. For goal attainment, it was found to be able to predict life satisfaction and to play a mediating role in the pathway to life satisfaction – specifically for the link between domain goal progress and domain satisfaction – although the full serial mediation model (from positive affect to life satisfaction) was supported only for the social domain. As for domain value, a moderating role was found in one instance, where the value of benevolence in the social domain moderated the link between social satisfaction and life satisfaction. Overall, the inclusion of both goal attainment and domain value can thus enable a better understanding of subjective well-being.
The structure of online political discussion has proven important to deliberative democracy. However, the organizational mechanisms of the structure receive little attention in scholarship. This study employed a random‐effects relational event model to differentiate and examine the effects of a set of organizational principles in web forum discussions. By analyzing more than 175,000 forum replies, the study found that cross‐ideological debate is an independent organizational mechanism even when accounting for the effects from common interests, opinion congruity, purely structural effects, and conversational norms. These findings differ from the selective exposure thesis and previous incidental claims of political disagreement. In addition, the findings indicate that endogenous mechanisms and opinion congruity could influence the tendency of cross‐ideological debate to varying degrees. 相似文献
