Does Demography Matter? Psychological Well-being of Aisyiyah Members Based on Age, Educational Background, Marital Status, and Parenthood Status

Abstract

Some studies suggest that psychological well-being is one of the key factors influencing individuals’ behaviors and emotions. Previous research on members of Aisyiyah indicates that psychological well-being, and religiosity, can influence philanthropic behavior. The study found that approximately 23% of the organization’s fellows have low levels of psychological wellbeing. This research aims to expand the previous study by analyzing the psychological wellbeing of Aisyiyah members with some demographic factors. The study employed a quantitative descriptive approach method and a population of around 1000 members of Aisyiyah in Sidoarjo who are 18 years old and above as a participant. The sample was determined using Isaac Michael Table which found 245 members of Aisyiyah Sidoarjo as the number of the Sample. One-Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) test technique was employed and the results showed that there were no significant differences in psychological well-being among the research sample when examined by age (p=0.108), marital status (p=0.263), and the number of children (p=0.363). However, a significant difference in psychological well-being was found when examining educational backgrounds (p=0.035). To conclude, the variable of age, marital status, and the number of children do not influence psychological well-being among members of Aisyiyah in Sidoarjo, whereas the variable of education impacts the level of psychological well-being among members of Aisyiyah Sidoarjo.
