Keywords:
Psychological well-being, Socio-Demographic Profile, AdolescentsAbstract
Summary: There is clear indication that a person's innate level of psychological well-being is significantly influenced by their social environment and developmental history. The study was conceptualized in the context of research on the passage of teenagers into adulthood. The investigation of adolescents' psychological wellbeing was the study's main objective. 100 school-aged youths from Kerala's Kozhikode District, ranging in age from 15 to 17, made up the sample. The mean, standard deviation, and T-test were used to investigate the relationship between adolescents' psychological wellbeing and their sociodemographic profile. Findings: According to the mean score, 44% of schoolchildren reported great psychological well-being, compared to 56% who reported low psychological well-being. In terms of the manifestation of psychological well-being and sociodemographic profiles, respondents from different age groups demonstrated considerable disparities. The study's conclusions can be applied to people who have mild, moderate, or high degrees of psychological well-being. This analysis makes it possible to examine the relationship between and impact on teenage psychological well-being.
