Eudaimonic approach to well-being is a relatively less researched area in psychology in which human potential and optimal development is emphasised in contrast to the popular hedonic approach that focuses on pleasure attainment. Based on the related literature, we hypothesised a causal link between self-compassion and eudaimonic well-being, being mediated by personal growth initiative – a personal resource that facilitates positive development. Using a mediation analysis, we examined the role of personal growth initiative on the relationship between eudaimonic well-being and self-compassion in young adults. The participants were 346 undergraduate students from Bangkok, Thailand. Reliable and valid Likert-type self-report inventories were used to measure the variables. The findings of this study support a positive relationship between self-compassion and eudaimonic well-being (r = .64, p< .01),and personal growth initiative partially mediates this relationship. Being self-compassionate in early adulthood triggers personal growth initiatives and this enhances the eudaimonic well-being of the students in turn. The results are discussed with an emphasis on the mediating role of personal growth initiative in early adulthood. The implications of the study are also discussed with its limitations.Keywords

This study aimed to investigate the mediating role of self-esteem in the relationship between attachment dimensions and life satisfaction of adolescents living in orphanages in Bangkok, Thailand. The sample consisted of 240 adolescents (148 girls & 92 boys) living in five orphanages in Bangkok. Attachment dimensions (angry-distress, non-availability, & lack of goal-corrected partnership), life satisfaction and self-esteem were measured employing valid and reliable questionnaires. The results of the mediation analysis supported the indirect effect of angrydistress and availability on life satisfaction. However, self-esteem did not mediate the relationship between lack of goal-corrected partnership and life satisfaction. The findings are discussed in relation to the attachment issues experienced by the adolescents living in orphanages – where the probability of attachment issues is high. Considering the long-lasting effects of attachment on the adolescents' psychological development, this study provides insights into the attachment dynamics in adolescents living in orphanages. The findings may help develop effective interventions with this vulnerable population to facilitate desirable outcomes.Keywords
