Description
Summary:The present study investigated the relationship between different perceptions of interdependence with one’s in-group, aspects of the self and subjective well-being in a sample of two hundred and forty-five undergraduates from Singapore. The participants completed questionnaires measuring attitudes toward group, self-aspects, Asian subjective well-being, and positive and negative affect. The hypotheses that perceived affective interdependence with one’s significant in group would be positively associated with Asian subjective well-being and positive affect were supported. The collective self-aspect was found to be a partial mediator of the relationship, but the relational self-aspect was not. Institutional interdependence was not related to both affective and cognitive components of subjective well-being.
