O Bem-estar prende-se com grau em que cada pessoa julga a qualidade de sua vida favoravelmente como um todo, uma avaliação que está intimamente ligada à forma como o indivíduo é capaz de lidar e absorver a ocorrência de episódios de sua vida. No entanto, tem sido menos estudado junto dos mais novos, nomeadamente junto de crianças e adolescentes, ao qual a presente investigação propõe-se estudar os preditores do bem-estar em crianças e adolescentes portugueses do cavado. Para isso, foi realizado um estudo transversal, descritivo e correlacional, com o recurso a um instrumento de auto-relato junto de uma amostra de 330 sujeitos, pertencentes às escolas do Norte do país. Através dos resultados foi possível perceber que à medida que a idade aumenta o bem-estar diminui, e que existe diferenças entre género em variáveis específicas como na escola. Ainda, foi possível verificar que a família, tempo de lazer (prática de exercício físico apresentam uma relação significativa com o bem-estar. Por fim foi encontrado um modelo significativo que integra 12 preditores explicativos do bem-estar geral em crianças e adolescentes, centrando-se nas variáveis escola, família, amigos, habitação, bens-materiais, self, abrangendo desta forma as principais áreas do desenvolvimento e de suporto de ser humano.
Well-being describes the degree to which a person evaluates their quality of life as a whole. This evaluation is deeply connected to the way an individual manages to deal with and process all the events of his/her life. However, this dimension has seldom been studied among children and teenagers. Therefore, this paper aims to study the preditors of well-being in portuguese children and teenagers living in the Cávado region. To that effect, a transversal, descriptive and correlational study was carried out by employing a self-report tool among a sample of 330 subjects, students of several schools in the North of Portugal. After considering the results, it was possible to conclude that well-being decreases as one gets older, and that there are considerable gender differences in a school-setting. It was also possible to conclude that family, leisure time and physical exercise were positively related to well-being. 12 explicative models were discovered with a potential to explain well-being among the considered population, focused on specific variables - school, family, friends, housing, personal posessions, self - that gather some of the main areas of the human being's development and interpersonal support.
