Introduction:

The aim of this study was to assess the relative weight of life satisfaction and psychological well-being in predicting the flourishing of adolescents, evaluating in turn the profile of flourishing based on the degree of satisfaction with life and the levels of each of the aspects of well-being.

Methodology:

From a non-probabilistic sampling, 421 Argentine adolescents participated (Mage = 14,9; SD = 1,75), who answered the PERMA Profile Scale (Waigel & Lemos, 2023), Ryff Psychological Well-being Scale (Meier & Oros, 2019) and the Life Satisfaction Scale (Castro Solano, 2000). Data were analyzed using hierarchical regression analysis and multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVAs).

Results:

The findings indicate that both life satisfaction and psychological well-being significantly predict adolescent flourishing. The proposed model explains 65,5 % of the variance, highlighting the predictive weight of hedonic aspects. Furthermore, there are differences in the general profile of flourishing depending on the level of satisfaction with life and some of the dimensions of psychological well-being.

Conclusion:

The importance of designing interventions that consider the predictors with the greatest impact on prosperity during adolescence is highlighted. Likewise, it is suggested to deepen the study of the precursors of flourishing to consolidate the science of flourishing.
