The adaptive role of emotional self-regulation in adolescents’ well-being: Evidence from Chilean public schools
Introduction Subjective well-being (SWB) serves as a key indicator for assessing psychosocial adjustment and quality of life in adolescence. The established connection between emotional self-regulation (ESR) and well-being is well documented, yet the specific role of short-term ESR strategies and sociodemographic factors remains underexplored. This study examines how short-term ESR and these sociodemographic variables jointly influence the subjec…
Psychometric properties of the Strength‐Based Parenting Questionnaire in a sample of Chilean early adolescents
Objective This study assessed the psychometric properties of the Strength‐Based Parenting Questionnaire (SBPQ) in a sample of Chilean early adolescents. Background Most parenting assessments rely on parents' or caregivers' reports. This is the first study in Chile to evaluate strengths‐based parenting through adolescent self‐reports. Methods A cross‐sectional, correlational‐predictive design was employed with the participation of a nonprobabilist…
Longitudinal Study of Gender Differences in Adolescent Sense of Loneliness: The Roles of Subjective Well-Being, Bullying, and Problematic Internet Use
This longitudinal study explores the evolving contributors to adolescents’ sense of loneliness (SoL), focusing on subjective well-being (SWB), bullying and problematic internet use (PIU) across two time points. Data were gathered from adolescents aged 10 to 16 using self-reported measures of SWB (cognitive and affective dimensions), bullying experiences, PIU and a direct question on SoL. The analysis included 882 adolescents, with the mean age be…
Kairos study protocol: A multidisciplinary approach to the study of school timing and its effects on health, well-being and students’ performance
Recent evidence from chronobiology, chssronomedicine and chronopsychology shows that the organisation of social time (e.g., school schedules) generally does not respect biological time. This raises concerns about the impact of the constant mismatch between students’ social and internal body clocks on their health, well-being and academic performance. The present paper describes a protocol used to investigate the problem of (de) synchronisation of…
Well-being in late childhood and early adolescence: Evolution and explanatory factors
This paper has three objectives (1) to test whether a decrease in well-being scores is observed from one year to the next in the period between 10 and 16 years of age when measured using indicators of subjective well-being (SWB) (including the OLS as a global measure) and psychological well-being (PWB); (2) to explore the contribution of the primary/secondary school, gender and age in explaining global SWB; and (3) to identify potential non-linea…
Changes in the network structure of well-being components in adolescents in the school context: A 2-year longitudinal study
Disentangling the connections between subjective and psychological well-being may help practitioners identify effective targets of intervention to promote mental health in school settings. Based on theoretical foundations of well-being, the present study utilized psychometric network analysis to explore prospective associations between the subjective and psychological well-being of adolescents over 2 years. To this end, a cross-sectional network …
Is the Self-Categorization of Social Network Consumption Related to Subjective Well-Being? A Longitudinal Study of Spanish Adolescents
The impact of social network consumption on adolescents’ subjective well-being (SWB) has remained a subject of debate in cross-sectional studies, and the understanding of how changing social network consumption patterns affect SWB over time is even more limited. This study adopts an innovative approach, utilizing various measurement scales to assess adolescents’ SWB alongside the evolution of their SSNC patterns. A four-wave longitudinal study wa…
A Machine Learning Approach to Well-Being in Late Childhood and Early Adolescence: The Children's Worlds Data Case
Explaining what leads to higher or lower levels of subjective well-being (SWB) in childhood and adolescence is one of the cornerstones within this field of studies, since it can lead to the development of more focused preventive and promotion actions. Although many indicators of SWB have been identified, selecting one over the other to obtain a reasonably short list poses a challenge, given that models are particularly sensitive to the indicators…
Examining the Relationship between Subjective Well-being and Psychological Well-being among 12-Year-Old-Children from 30 Countries
Cross-cultural studies on the relationship between subjective and psychological well-being in children are still very limited. Consequently, proposing a model that considers the interaction of these constructs and examining its applicability in several countries would enhance the understanding of these phenomena in childhood. Thus, the objective of this study is to identify the latent relationship between subjective and psychological well-being, …
Filling the 8-Year-Old Gap in the Study of Well-Being: Cross-Cultural Assessment and Validation of a Subjective Well-Being Measure Across 19 Countries
Research on child well-being under 10 years old is limited. A first step towards stimulating research targeting this population is the validation of psychometric scales across cultures. The current study examines the cross-cultural validity of the Children’s Worlds - Subjective Well-being Scale (CS-SWBS-8-year-old version), a six-item subjective well-being scale in an international sample of 8-year-olds (N = 20,822) across 19 countries. A confirm…
Rights and overall life satisfaction of 10- and 12-year-old children in three countries
Previous research has shown that knowledge of the rights of the child and their perceptions about their own participation may contribute to children’s subjective well-being (SWB), and that satisfaction with how adults listen to children and take what they say into account is highly related to children’s SWB in many countries. Thus, the aims of this article are: (a) exploring the contribution to children’s subjective well-being of several items re…
