“…Sin embargo, la presencia de estos criterios no garantiza a plenitud aspectos como la salud mental, la felicidad o la satisfacción. Por esto, se analiza desde una mirada subjetiva que se configura por las percepciones que valoran y otorgan una carga afectiva a la vida en un momento determinado (Diener et al, 1985;2015;Moreta-Herrera, Oriol-Granado et al, 2023).…”

Objetivo. Identificar el nivel de relación latente entre el Bienestar Subjetivo y la Salud Mental en una muestra de estudiantes universitarios de Ecuador. Método. Estudio descriptivo, correlacional y transversal por Modelamiento con Ecuaciones Estructurales (SEM). Participaron 476 personas (61.5% mujeres y 38.4% hombres), con edades comprendidas entre 17 y 47 años (M = 21.24; DT= 3.65). Eran estudiantes universitarios de 34 centros de educación superior de 10 provincias del Ecuador. Resultados. El Bienestar Subjetivo (Afecto Positivo, Negativo y Satisfacción con la Vida) se relaciona de forma latente con la Salud Mental a través de un modelo de ajuste adecuado. Además, el modelo SEM es invariante según el género. Por último, hay diferencias (p < .05) entre grupos para el afecto negativo y los síntomas de ansiedad/insomnio, depresión y salud mental general. Se concluye que el bienestar subjetivo es un atributo psicológico que juega un papel relevante en el curso y desarrollo de la salud mental.

“…Aunque se considera que los afectos y la SCV son independientes (Zuckerman & Diener, 2017), la evidencia actual considera que existe una fuerte asociación entre las mismas (Casas et al, 2021;Moreta-Herrera, Oriol-Granado et al, 2023), resaltando de esta manera interdependencia para integrar el constructo del BS.…”

Explaining what leads to higher or lower levels of subjective well-being (SWB) in childhood and adolescence is one of the cornerstones within this field of studies, since it can lead to the development of more focused preventive and promotion actions. Although many indicators of SWB have been identified, selecting one over the other to obtain a reasonably short list poses a challenge, given that models are particularly sensitive to the indicators considered.Two Machine Learning (ML) algorithms, one based on Extreme Gradient Boosting and Random Forest and the other on Lineal Regression, were applied to 77 indicators included in the 3rd wave of the Children’s Worlds project and then compared. ExtremeGradient Boosting outperforms the other two, while Lineal Regression outperforms Random Forest. Moreover, the Extreme Gradient Boosting algorithm was used to compare models for each of the 35 participating countries with that of the pooled sample on the basis of responses from 93,349 children and adolescents collected through a representative sampling and belonging to the 10 and 12-year-olds age groups. Large differences were detected by country with regard to the importance of these 77 indicators in explaining the scores for the five-item-version of the CWSWBS5 (Children’s Worlds Subjective Well-Being Scale). The process followed highlights the greater capacity of some ML techniques in providing models with higher explanatory power and less error, and in more clearly differentiating between the contributions of the different indicators to explain children’s and adolescents’ SWB. This finding is useful when it comes to designing shorter but more reliable questionnaires (a selection of 29 indicators were used in this case).

In recent years, there has been a notable increase in studies aimed at investigating the relationships between cyberbullying and subjective well-being (SWB) among adolescent populations. Nonetheless, the existing literature on this topic remains relatively sparse. Consequently, this study aims to explore the prospective associations of these constructs through the application of psychometric network analysis. Two cross-lagged network analyses were conducted (Wave 1 and Wave 2), alongside a longitudinal network analysis, encompassing 888 students aged 12 to 16 years (M = 12.61; SD = 1.79) from five secondary educational institutions. The results from both cross-lagged networks at both time points revealed significant associations among overall life satisfaction (OLS) and the various domains of life satisfaction, thereby reinforcing the central role of OLS within the network architecture of adolescent well-being. Regarding the affective component of SWB, “happy” emerged as the affect demonstrating the highest level of influence and impact at both time points. Additionally, a robust temporal consistency of the network structure was observed. In the longitudinal network analysis, the trajectories of the variables across time indicated that forms of cyberbullying, specifically “exclusion” and “harassment,” were prospectively and negatively related to “satisfaction with friends” and “satisfaction with body image.” The results of these findings are discussed in terms of their practical implications for the prevention and intervention of cyberbullying in adolescent population.
