Abstract
In this research we aimed to determine to what extent
socio-demographic variables, subjective material well-being,
aspects of social relationships and personal resources
predict adolescents' life satisfaction. The study included
a representative sample of 2823 Croatian high school
students. The participants completed scales measuring their
perception of parental child-rearing practices, family
cohesion, support from a close friend and global self-worth.
The structured questions were used to assess students'
global satisfaction with life, perception of economic status
of their family and socio-demographic variables. The results
of multiple regression analyses showed that adolescents'
life satisfaction could be best explained by their higher
self-esteem, family cohesion and parental support, and
higher perceived material well-being. Significant interaction
effects were also found which indicate that self-esteem and
support from a close friend moderate negative effects of
perceived material disadvantage on adolescents' life
satisfaction.
