description The main aim of this study was to investigate if there was a change of level of depression and life satisfaction of Serbian adolescents in Kosovo and Metohija. For that purpose we used a part of data from some research realized at the beginning of the year 2008 and compared them with data collected at the end of year 2012. In both sequences of research we measured depression by Beck's Depression Inventory, but satisfaction with life was measured by different scales. We had to standardize scores for satisfaction with life so we could compare data from different research sequences. Our results showed that depression level in second research sequence was significantly lower, while we didn't get significant differences in life satisfaction. Also, we found differences in depression and life satisfaction regarding gender, family material status and place where examines lives (north Kosovo and Metohija or Serbian enclaves). Obtained results were discussed regarding the possibility of adaptation at unfavourable circumstances of growing up and living.
