Abstract

The aim of this study is to explore the basic situation of subjective well-being among primary and secondary school students and the relationship between academic achievement and subjective well-being. A questionnaire survey using the "Adolescent Student Life Satisfaction Scale" and the "Happy Feeling Scale" was conducted on 800 students from 6 high schools in Shanxi Province. The results of the study: (1) The subjective well-being of primary and secondary school students are at the upper-middle level. (2) The subjective well-being of female is generally higher than that of male, and the life satisfaction of primary school students is gender-specific. (3) There are grade differences in life satisfaction and positive emotions between primary school students and junior high school students. (4) The academic performance of primary school students and junior high school students was significantly positively correlated with life satisfaction, and negatively correlated with negative emotions. Research conclusions: Subjective well-being has a great influence on the academic performance of primary school students and junior high school students, and enhancing their subjective well-being is conducive to improving their academic performance.
