The study modeled the variable of parental involvement, family functioning, family resilience and time with family as independent constructs. Data for the study was gathered from nationally representative survey of "Family Well-Being Index" study conducted by National Population and Family Development Board Malaysia. Response from 2808 sampled households which involved about 1484 (52.8%) fathers and 1324 (47.2%) mothers of having a child aged at least 13 years old were utilized for the purpose of the current study. A Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was employed by using Analysis of Moment Structure (AMOS) software. The study found all the modeled independent constructs tested had a significant and direct influence on family life satisfaction among the respondents except for parental involvement construct. The findings of the study suggests that some improvement should be made for the parental involvement constructs which covers different aspects of family life satisfaction which will lead the measurement model be more heterogeneous.

The existing body of knowledge on the predictors of happiness is limited to western perspective and cultures and with inclusive findings. The overall purposes of the thesis were to identify factors influencing to happiness as well as to examine the moderating effect of religiosity on the happiness predictors among local postgraduates in Malaysian public universities. Sample for this study was 525 postgraduates from four selected public university in Malaysia. Fieldwork survey has been conducted in 2013. A structured questionnaire were distributed to the selected sample. A Rasch rating scale model was utilized using Winstep software to each constructs which are life satisfaction, intrinsic and extrinsic religiosity, and happiness scale in order to investigate the measurement properties and to determine the equivalence of the item level acr...
