Abstract

The purpose of the present research was to
examine the relationships between positive affect(PA), negative affect (NA),
life satisfaction (LS) and scoliosis research society variables; image, pain,
function and mental health. To determine whether PA, NA and LS predicted by
image, pain, function and mental health a hierarchical regression analysis was
specified. In the current study female scoliosis patients (N=83) completed
three measures of positive and negative affect schedule (PANAS), Life
satisfaction Scale and Scoliosis Research Society-22. Result showed that four factors accounted for
subjective well-being variables (PA, NA, LS). The findings highlight the possibility that a
consideration of subjective well-being for body image concerns.
