Связь уровня и структуры субъективного благополучия у старших школьников

Abstract

<p>The article presents the study of the structure of subjective well–being (SWB) of senior schoolchildren, taking into account the actual and real level of its indicators and factors. 3282 students of grades 7-11 of the Tyumen region were interviewed. The author's questionnaire was used as a tool in the study, built on the basis of the of The International Survey of Children’s Well-Being (ISCWeB) – Children's World is taken as a basis. High school students assessed how important a specific SWB indicator (actual level) and its severity (real level) are for them. Factor analysis allowed us to determine the following structure of the SWB: family, school, agency, status, social loyalty, security and romantic relationships. Two-stage cluster analysis in the space of selected factors allowed dividing schoolchildren into 3 cluster groups, homogeneous with respect to the phenomenon under consideration: Romantics, Conformists, Rebels. The analysis of the weighting coefficients of the actual and real level of SWB in all three groups showed that those who have the structure of all factors of SWB harmoniously correlated are more satisfied and prosperous – Romantics, a low level of SWB is noted in Rebels.</p>
