Demands, Resources, Well-Being and Strain: Meta-Analyzing Moderator Effects of Workforce Racial Composition

Liberal ideology promotes equality whereas conservative ideology justifies inequality. Four studies examined whether the liberal–conservative continuum moderates the relation between inequality and subjective well-being (SWB). All four studies found a significant moderator effect such that higher inequality was related to greater SWB in conservative countries. In liberal countries, the corresponding relation was mostly reversed but did not reach significance. Studies 2 and 3 also showed that the moderator effect of liberalism was itself moderated by socioeconomic status (SES)—it was stronger among lower SES individuals. These two studies also found that the moderator effects of both liberalism and SES were partially or fully mediated by financial satisfaction. The current findings explain why previous research on the relation between income inequality and SWB produced inconsistent results.

Flexible Goal Adjustment

Abstract. This study investigated the relationships between tenacious goal pursuit (TGP) and flexible goal adjustment (FGA), two fundamental modes of self-regulation suggested by Brandtstädter and colleagues, and positive and negative affect (PA, NA). This was done in general terms and by considering the developmental constraint of perceived age-related visual decline. Data stem from 751 community-dwelling elders (55-98 years, 372 women, 379 men). Results support the hypothesis of differential associations of TGP and FGA, respectively, with affect: TGP was positively related to PA, and FGA was negatively related to NA. Moreover, differential moderator effects of TGP and FGA, respectively, on the relationship between subjective vision and affect emerged. FGA independently moderated the inverse relationship between subjective vision and NA. The moderator effect of TGP, however, was dependent on FGA: TGP did not alter the relationship between subjective vision and PA until FGA was high, too. It is concluded that both TGP and FGA are necessary for an adaptive self-regulation.
