Abstract

Subjective well-being is an important indicator of individuals’ quality of life, and social support is often considered a contributing factor in enhancing it. However, empirical findings regarding the relationship between these variables remain inconsistent. Therefore, this study aims to comprehensively examine the relationship between social support and subjective well-being using a meta-analytic approach.This study employed a meta-analysis method by integrating six empirical studies obtained from the Scopus database within the 2020–2026 period, with a total sample of 3,087 participants. The analysis was conducted using a random-effects model with the assistance of JASP software. All effect sizes were transformed into Fisher’s Z to improve variance stability. The results indicate that the relationship between social support and subjective well-being tends to be positive but weak and statistically non-significant (pooled effect = 0.137; p > 0.05). In addition, a very high level of heterogeneity was found (Q = 565.92; p < 0.001; τ² = 0.237), along with a wide prediction interval, indicating instability of effects across studies. Variations in the direction of relationships, including negative effects in some studies, suggest that social support does not consistently function as a protective factor for subjective well-being.

Abstract

As the foundation for lifelong learning, independent learning is an important psychological skill that must be developed from elementary school. The internal component of self-efficacy is crucial for enhancing independent learning. The purpose of this study was to investigate how self-efficacy influences elementary school students' ability to learn independently. A total of 87 fifth-grade students selected from the overall sample were included in a quantitative correlational design. Validated measures of independent learning and self-efficacy were used to collect data. Independent learning and self-efficacy were found to be significantly positively correlated based on Pearson correlation analysis (r = 0.523, p < 0.01). Simple linear regression analysis showed that self-efficacy explained 27.4% of the variation in independent learning (R2 = 0.274). These findings indicate that students with higher self-efficacy tend to demonstrate greater ability to manage and regulate their learning independently. The study highlights the importance of strengthening self-efficacy as a psychological foundation for promoting learning independence from an early educational stage

Abstract

Subjective well-being has become an important indicator of individual quality of life and psychological functioning, while social support is frequently regarded as a key factor influencing well-being outcomes. However, empirical findings regarding the relationship between social support and subjective well-being remain inconsistent across studies and contexts. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the overall relationship between social support and subjective well-being through a meta-analytic approach. This study employed a quantitative meta-analysis by synthesizing empirical studies published between 2020 and 2026. The literature search was conducted systematically through the Scopus database using several related keywords associated with social support and subjective well-being. After applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, six empirical studies with a cumulative sample of 3,087 participants were included in the analysis. Statistical analysis was performed using a random-effects model with Fisher’s Z transformation to estimate the pooled effect size and heterogeneity across studies. The findings revealed that social support demonstrated a positive but weak and statistically non-significant relationship with subjective well-being (pooled effect = 0.137; p 0.005). In addition, substantial heterogeneity was identified, indicating that the relationship varied considerably across populations, contexts, and measurement approaches. The results suggest that social support does not function as a universally consistent predictor of subjective well-being, but rather operates as a context-dependent relational resource influenced by cultural, psychological, and organizational conditions. This study contributes to management and psychological literature by emphasizing the complexity of social support and encouraging more context-sensitive approaches in future well-being research.
