Abstract

The purpose of this mixed methods sequential explanatory study was to investigate the effects of independent goal pursuit, interdependent goal pursuit, independent goal attainment, and interdependent goal attainment on subjective well-being among Filipinos and the moderation interaction of developmental levels (e.g., adolescence and young adulthood) in these effects. In the quantitative study, four measures: SWLS, PANAS-X, Goal Motivation Scale, and Goal Progress Scale were administered to 218 adolescents and young adults from Mindanao. The Path analysis technique was used to test the effects of independent goal pursuit, interdependent goal pursuit, independent goal attainment and interdependent goal attainment on subjective well- being, and the moderation interaction of developmental levels on these effects. Subjective well- being was measured in terms of satisfaction with life (SWLS), positive affect (PA) and negative affect (NA). Results of the study indicated that the moderation model of developmental levels on goal pursuit and goal attainment with SWLS tested attained a good and perfect fit (x2/df = 2.34;
