The article presents the rationale for the theoretical construct ‘subjective well-being of orphans’, its operational model, as well as the reliability and validity of a specially designed standardized interview (SI) for measuring and assessing both the general level of subjective well-being and its specific areas (SWB).The subjective well-being of a child is viewed from the position of his/her satisfaction with the ‘system of own attitudes’ to himself, to others, to the environment, to his/her ‘chronotope’.The operational assessment model built on its basis included 10 domains that built the basis of SI. The tool was tested on a sample of 498 orphanage residents aged 13 to 17 years. Its reliability, internal consistency, correctness and validity have been proven: meaningful, constructive (Cronbach’s coefficient “α” α k = 0.741); convergent (at the level of high statistical significance, SI indicators correlate with the method of M. Rosenberg, as well as with the results of the “Vi ability” test (Osin E.N., Rasskazova E.I., screening version); criterial (correlation analysis revealed the stable relationships between indicators of subjective well-being and institutional experience (r = 0.017, p = 0.702).

<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>

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 results of the study of psychological resources of educators of organizations for orphans with different levels of emotional intelligence (EI) are presented. The study involved 186 employees from 39 regions of the Russia. 3 groups were identified: high (N=57), medium (N=83) and lowered (N=34) levels of EI. It is established that the degree of severity and content of psychological resources depend on the level of EI. A group with a high level can be considered as a model. Representatives of the average and lowered level of EI have adaptation mechanisms that compensate for the lack of EI. In a medium group excessively high requirements for their involvement in activities increase the risk of professional burnout, reduce satisfaction with instrumental resources, and increase vulnerability "to a conflict of roles". The specificity of psychological resources is noted, which is expressed in: 1) the predominance of interpersonal EI (hereinafter MEI) over intrapersonal EI (hereinafter WEI); 2) a certain specificity of the structure of psychological resources, which included 5 components: a) the EI resource as the key; b) the resources of stability and self-regulation in relation to subjective well-being; c) motivational resources associated with the potential of compassion; d) environmental resources and the self-efficacy of emotional self-regulation; e) instrumental resources negatively associated with the conflict of roles.</p>

The article presents an analysis of the monitoring results of the situation related to the temporary placement of children with parents (legal representatives) in organizations for orphans in 2018-2021, provided by the Department of State Policy in the field of Protection of Children’s Rights of the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation. The target group was the category of children who are in organizations for orphans and children left without parental care on full state support, children who were transferred by their parents voluntarily and temporarily for up to one year due to different life circumstances. They are invisible to the public, since parental rights do not cease, and parents must take part in the upbringing of their children, but information about them is practically not included in any form of state statistics. The article analyzes the grounds for temporary placement of children, the average period of temporary stay, the list of services provided by organizations to legal representatives and children, the number of children returned to parents (other legal representatives), the number of children left in organizations at the end of their stay, and monitoring the reasons for abandonment, provides information on the amount of funds (by budget levels) allocated for the maintenance of this category of children. The data are presented for organizations for orphans located in the field of education, social protection and healthcare. The consequences of temporary institutionalization for the psychological development of children and the role of parents in the return of the child home are evaluated. 85 subjects of the Russian Federation took part in the Monitoring, who filled out an electronic form of executive authorities exercising powers of guardianship in relation to minors. Monitoring has shown that the majority of families who have placed a child in an organization for orphans have a difficult financial situation, are often in a socially dangerous situation, due to intra-family conflict, illness, disability of legal representatives, undergoing treatment of parents for alcohol or drug addiction; finding a legal representative under investigation.
