Abstract
Aim. To analyze the role of perceived social support and effortful control in the psychological well-being of juvenile delinquents and adolescents in difficult life situations.
Methodology. In the course of empirical research based on a sample of 82 male adolescents from 11 to 17 years old, diagnostics were carried out using the scale of perceived social support MSPSS by D. Zimet, the scale for studying effortful control in adolescence by T.O. Rippinen, Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) by B.P. White, and the multidimensional students’ life satisfaction scale (MSLSS). In the course of processing the results, correlation and regression analysis were used.
Results.
It is demonstrated that school well-being depends only on effortful control, while self-satisfaction, satisfaction with relationships in the family and with friends depends on perceived social support and effortful control. In the course of controlling perceived support and effortful control the contribution of perceived stress to well-being becomes insignificant, which indicates the likely importance of these resources for coping with stress and reducing its impact on well-being.
Research implications. The study clarifies theoretical ideas about the role of perceived social support and effortful control based on a special sample of adolescents, as well as confirms the conclusion that is important for practice about the decisive role of voluntary regulation in school well-being.
