| description | Life satisfaction is one of the main components of an individual’s well-being. It is a fundamental component of positive
psychology, which aims to identify a person’s resources and prevent psychopathology. In recent decades, the developmental
factors underlying life satisfaction have been investigated. Adolescence, a period of rapid cognitive and psychosocial turbulence,
is a possible turning point in terms of subjective life satisfaction and its predictors. The level of life satisfaction declines from
childhood to adolescence, but it remains rather stable throughout adulthood. The aim of the current review is to describe
predictors of life satisfaction in adolescence and the developmental period bridging childhood and young adulthood. |
