Abstract

RODRIGUEZ-FERNANDEZ, Arantzazu et al. Subjective well-being in adolescence: The role of resilience, self-concept and perceived social support. Suma Psicol. [online]. 2016, vol.23, n.1, pp.60-69. ISSN 0121-4381.  https://doi.org/10.1016/j.sumpsi.2016.02.002.

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship of subjective well-being with resilience, self-concept and social support, determining variables that predict subjective well-being. The study used an ex post facto, observational and cross-sectional design, using the following scales: Satisfaction with Life (Diener, Emmon, Larsen, & Grifin, 1995), Affect-Balance (Bradburn, 1969), Connor-Davidson Resilience (Connor & Davidson, 2003), Perceived Social Support from Family and Friends Scale (González & Landero, 2014), as well as a Multidimensional Self-Concept Questionnaire (authors). The sample comprised 1250 adolescents aged 12 to 15 years old, randomly selected. The results confirmed that there were positive correlations between subjective well-being and resilience, self-concept and social support. A high level of self-concept, resilience and family support were predictors of satisfaction with life, a high level of resilience, self-concept and friends support of positive affect, and negative affect was predicted by low levels of self-concept and family support.
