El objetivo del artículo es responder a dos importantes preguntas relacionadas con la igualdad intergeneracional en bienestar emocional: ¿Son las personas mayores tan felices como las jóvenes? ¿Cuál es la relación entre edad y felicidad? El actual consenso académico considera que tal relación adopta la forma de una curva en “U”, es decir, la felicidad sería alta en la juventud, descendería llegando a un mínimo hacia la mitad del curso vital, y remontaría hasta alcanzar de nuevo un alto nivel en la vejez. Según esta tesis, las personas mayores serían tan felices como las jóvenes. Sin embargo, estos resultados están condicionados por las propias limitaciones metodológicas del análisis de regresión. Además, estos análisis pretenden describir la relación genérica y universal existente entre un concepto abstracto de edad y la felicidad. Pero como era previsible, la variable edad, desprovista de todo contenido social, tiene una escasa influencia en la felicidad de las personas. Estos estudios carecen de interés sociológico alguno porque ocultan la verdadera relación existente entre la “edad social” de las personas y su felicidad. Tras exponer una crítica a los análisis de regresión, tal y como son habitual y convencionalmente aplicados por los científicos sociales, se propone segmentar la variable edad, estudiando el bienestar emocional de las personas en las distintas etapas de su ciclo vital (niñez, juventud, edad adulta, edad madura y vejez) utilizando análisis descriptivos multivariables. Se demuestra, así, que la relación edad-felicidad adopta la forma de una “ola” o “S” tumbada y que, por tanto, la felicidad de los mayores es bastante inferior a la de los jóvenes.The article aims to answer two important questions, both linked to emotional well-being throughout lifetime: Are old as happy as young people? What is the relationship between age and happiness? The current academic consensus states that the relationship between age and subjective well-being follows a "U-Shape". Happiness would be high in youngsters, would decrease to a minimum about midlife, and would ascend to reach again a high point in old age. Then, according to this thesis, old would be as happy as young people. However, we show that these research results come from the own methodological constraints of regression analysis. Additionally, these analyses try to find the generic and universal relationship between age, considered as an abstract variable, and happiness. But, not surprisingly, an age variable devoid of any social content and context has a meagre influence on people happiness. These inquiries lack any sociological interest because hide more than reveal the actual relationship between “social age” and happiness. The article deploys a critique of the irreflexive and conventional way in which regression analysis is used by social scientists. The segmentation of age in five stages (childhood, youthfulness, adulthood, maturity and old age), and descriptive multivariate analysis are proposed as the best methodology to study happiness throughout the lifetime. Finally, it is proved that the age-happiness relationship follows the pattern of a “wave” or “S lying down-shape”. Therefore, the happiness of the old is much lower than that of young people.

The article is devoted to the study of migration intentions among young people in Komsomolsk-on-Amur. The study tested two hypotheses: 1) differences between groups of young people with different migration activity will be manifested in the mismatch between values and their accessibility, as well as in the level of subjective well-being; 2) components of the value-semantic sphere are predictors of migration intentions among young people. The sample group included 130 subjects aged 16—25 years (mean age 23.1 years). To explore value-semantic sphere was used the methodology of E.B. Fantalova “level of correlation between “value” and “accessibility” in various spheres of life” and the Index of personal well-being. The results of the study showed that 26% of young people are not going to change their place of residence, 22% — are going to leave the city. Step-by-step regression analysis allowed us to identify explanatory models that predict the migration activity of young people. Subjective well-being is the most significant predictor of migration intentions (28% of variance). The second place is occupied by the sharpness of the mismatch between the importance of values and their subjective accessibility (26% of the variance).

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the relationship between subjective well-being (SWB) and exposure to online hate material using samples of Finnish and American youth and young adults. The authors aim to identify socio-demographic determinants of SWB and the social ties prevalent both online and offline that may be relevant to the discussion of how hate material associates with well-being. Design/methodology/approach The data are derived from online survey responses from both Finnish (n=555) and American (n=1,014) young people aged 15-30. The authors control for the possible effects of social trust, offline friendships, online victimisation and economic status, which have been found to associate with SWB in earlier studies. Findings The findings show a clear association that highlights the uniformity in how negatively intended material online affects young people, despite the inclusion of a cross-national comparison. The study confirms previous work concerning happiness and life satisfaction. Research limitations/implications The survey used was not designed solely to address issues of SWB and as such a more targeted set of questions may have resulted in more in-depth data. Also, structural determinants of SWB, social spheres, and tie strength were analysed through proxy measures. Practical implications The findings concerning new variables linked to well-being and victimization in the cross-national context provide a new point of reference in terms of online hate being associated with happiness. Originality/value The authors consider a number of descriptive characteristics, determining the relationship between these variables and participants’ happiness. Through this cross-national data set, new comparisons were made possible between internet users of both countries. The study combines many earlier findings with new variables and theoretical frameworks to add new perspectives to the understanding of how well-being is affected online among young people.

Independent Internet surfing and persistently addictive smartphone use have become a significant public health problem. This addictive behavior is more prevalent in young people, who can engage in long-term secondary inopportune outgrowths. The main aim of this study is to see whether self-control in Internet usage (SCIU) and mobile phone addiction (MPA) will mediate the relationship between physical fitness and subjective well-being (SWB) in a group of Chinese adults using IoT. 1801 university students completed the proposed standard scale grading assignments. The results of our analysis showed that SCIU directly mediated the relationship between physical exertion and SWB. MPA mediated the interaction between physical exercise and SWB in reverse. The results also showed that the multiple SCIU-MPA serial frameworks between physical exercise and SWB were statistically significant. This result indicates that SCIU and MPA’s relationships may be unique mediators in the relationship between physical exercise and SWB. Understanding the underlying interactions may have therapeutic significance for chronic, neurobiological disorders in young people with MPA. These results may also be used to improve physical intervention programs to improve the well-being of young Chinese people.

We examine the relationship between ‘flexicurity’ systems, unemployment and well-being outcomes for young people in Europe. A key tenet of the flexicurity approach is that greater flexibility of labour supply supports transitions into employment, trading longer-term employment stability for short-term job instability. However, there is a risk that young people experience greater job insecurity, both objective and subjective, with less stable contracts and more frequent unemployment spells. Our research draws on data from the European Social Survey and uses multi-level models to explore whether and how flexibility-security arrangements moderate the effect of past and present unemployment on the well-being of young people. We distinguish between flexibility-security institutions that foster improved job prospects and those that provide financial security.

The article is devoted to the study of well-being, which is considered as a multi-factorial construct and is described by most scientists in three terms: «subjective well-being», «life satisfaction» and «psychological well-being». The article covers the theoretical analysis of the concepts of «psychological well-being» and «subjective well-being», and also the concept of «coherence». Psychological well-being is considered as a basic dynamic characteristic of a personality, which reflects a subjective assessment by a person of his functioning and potential capabilities. Subjective well-being is considered as an integral system, which consists of the personality's ideas about himself, his life, his relations, capabilities. The concept of «sense of coherence» is considered as an orientation of a person to what extent a person perceives life as conscious and amenable to control. The empirical study involved 251 people, of whom 197 were women and 54 men, the average age was 27-41. Four test methods and two statistical-mathematical methods were used. The results of the study of the correlation between the sense of coherence and the level of psychological and subjective well-being among students are presented. The specificity of correlation between the components of coherence (comprehensibility, manageability, meaningfulness) and indicators of well-being is considered. A correlation analysis was performed to detect the relationships between the components of a sense of coherence and psychological well-being. For a visual representation, the results obtained are presented in the form of diagrams. Regression analysis was used to study the effect of sense of coherence on psychological well-being. It was revealed that sense of coherence is a factor of ensuring the psychological well-being. Further perspectives for psychological well-being research have been identified. Further perspectives are in clarification of the concept of psychological well-being and the study of the characteristics of the relationship of psychological and subjective well-being with various dispositions of an individual.

                In this study, it is aimed to determine and evaluate the relationship between the subjective well-being levels of the university students and their academic achievement according to various variables. The study group consisted of 600 students from various faculties of Samsun 19 Mayıs University. Subjective Well-being Scale developed by Tuzgöl-Dost (2004) and academic achievement scores prepared by the researcher were used as data collection tools. The subjective well-being scale, which consists of 46 items, aims to measure the subjective well-being of individuals. Students' academic achievement scores were obtained with personal information form. In the study, simple regression analysis was performed to examine the predictive power of subjective well-being on academic achievement. According to the results of the regression analysis, subjective well-being significantly predicted positively (β = .330, t = 54.704, p <.01) and 5% of the variance in subjective well-being scores. According to these results, as the subjective well-being of the participants increased, their academic achievement levels increased. The level of subjective well-being of the students differed according to the number of faculty and the number of siblings they studied. These findings were discussed in the light of the literature and suggestions for practitioners and researchers were presented.   Keywords: Faculty, level of well-being, subjective well-being, university students;
