An Exploratory Investigation of Refugees Personal Values and Subjective Well-Being in Malaysia
Journal Title: International Journal of Social Science Humanity & Management Research - Year 2023, Vol 2, Issue 07
Abstract
This study offers an integrated approach to understanding subjective well-being and attempts to extend the theoretical and empirical evidence on the causal relationships among Afghan refugees from personal values effect on their subjective wellbeing. The data were collected using an online survey among (n = 105) Afghan refugees in Malaysia. A structural equation model using AMOS was developed to examine how personal values and subjective well-being were related. Results showed that: (1) Healthy values are related to positive effects for second-generation immigrants and (2) Unhealthy values are related to negative effects. These results can be due to Afghan refugees' rising aspirations and ambitions that follow their routine in the improved surroundings in their host country. It can be suggested that fostering healthy values and delaying the process of Afghan refugees’ uncertain social expectations is a promising route to enhance their subjective well-being.
