Abstract

 Life satisfaction is a subjective construct that varies according to gender, education level, age, income, marital status, and other demographic factors. Life satisfaction is an important issue among middle-aged women. They face various responsibilities, roles and expectation at this age. The objective of this article is to identify the differences in life satisfaction among middle-aged Malay women from different educational level, marital status, career and income. This study applied a survey technique, which is a set of questionnaire which consisted of socio-demographic scale and life satisfaction scale (based on Life Satisfaction Index - Short Form by Barrette and Murk, 2006). Simple random sampling and purposive sampling have been used to obtain the responses. A total of 410 middle-aged career women in Hulu Langat, Selangor have participated in this study. The finding showed that life satisfactions among middle-aged women are different depending on their marital status, career and income. This was based on the result of ANOVA. Single women and widower who are working in private sector and of low-income level reported to have the lowest life satisfaction. This finding may provide input to the planning of programs to enhance the well-being and life satisfaction among middle aged career women.

Abstract

Digital technology has had a significant impact on adolescent behavior, including the increasing prevalence of internet addiction. This study aimed to examine the influence of adolescents’ attachment to their mothers and fathers on the level of internet addiction. Parental attachment is a crucial aspect of adolescent psychosocial development that can affect patterns of internet use. A quantitative survey method was employed, involving X adolescent respondents aged 14 to 18 years, selected using purposive sampling. The instruments used in this study were the Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment (IPPA) and the Internet Addiction Test (IAT). Based on the results of the analysis, this study concludes that parental attachment has a statistically significant relationship but does not have a practically significant effect on internet addiction in adolescents. These findings suggest that internet addiction in adolescents is influenced by various complex factors beyond the dynamics of family relationships, such as peer pressure and the influence of the digital environment. Therefore, it is essential for researchers and practitioners to develop more comprehensive intervention approaches that incorporate broader social environments and relevant psychological factors to support adolescents in managing healthy internet use.
