The article presents the results of the study of the level and features of the structure of subjective well-being of orphans with disabilities aged 7 to 12 compared with conditionally healthy children. Within the limits of research, under the subjective well-being of the child the satisfaction (level of satisfaction) "system of the relations" to itself, others, with environment is considered. The study is based on a theoretical construct, an operational model, and a toolkit for studying subjective well-being in orphans and children without parental care, the validity of which has been proven on the basis of empirical research on this category of children. The analysis of the results showed that the structure of subjective well-being depends on the presence or absence of disabilities in orphans of primary school age, but at the same time, the presence of disabilities by itself, without taking into account the relationship with other components, is not reflected in the level of their subjective well-being.
<p>The article presents the results obtained within the framework of the All-Russian empirical study "Subjective well-being of older adolescent and adolescent children in the Russian Federation" (2021), in which 10626 respondents (13-17 years old) from 22 regions of the Russian Federation participated. Interest in the topic is due to anxiety for the physical and psychological health of the younger generation entering adulthood. The obtained results made it possible to prove the existence of a positive close relationship between satisfaction with one's own activity in the social and physical spheres, subjective health, comfort of the educational environment and the summary score of subjective well-being (hereinafter SB) among the study participants. The identified age and gender patterns of changes in the level of closeness of the scales with the SB, a comparative analysis of satisfaction ratings with them in dynamics indicated their dependence on puberty and adolescent crises. It is shown that girls rate their "activity" and "comfort of the educational environment" lower than boys and are less vulnerable to stress associated with leaving school. It was revealed that in informants with disabilities, the assessments of their activity and subjective health have a negative age dynamic, in contrast to conditionally healthy ones. Living in ecologically unfavorable (polluted) and hard-to-reach territories has a negative impact on respondents' assessments of activity and subjective health.</p>
