Abstract

This study aims to compare personal relationships satisfaction and subjective well-being of Brazilian and Spanish children and to verify if personal relationships are associated with subjective well-being for the sample. Participants are 6,747 children aged from 11 to 14 years old (M = 12.07, DP = 0.731), 1,020 being Brazilian and the others Spanish. From the total sample 50.7% were girls. Results pointed that the items of personal relationships are grouped into three components related to family, school and friends. Spanish children had higher means than Brazilians' in the items of personal relationships and in the subjective well-being scale. There is a significant association between personal relationships and subjective well-being, and the relationships with family, school and friends are predictors of children well-being in both countries. Family relationships are those with the highest contribution to the prediction of child well-being for both countries, followed by relationships at school and with friends. Personal relationships can be considered a predictor of child well-being with approximately 40% of explained variance for both countries.

儿童主观幸福感和个人关系:巴西和西班牙儿童的比较

本研究旨在比较巴西和西班牙儿童的个人关系满意度和主观幸福感，并验证个人关系是否与样本的主观幸福感有关。参与者是6747名11至14岁的儿童(M = 12.07, DP = 0.731)， 1020名巴西儿童和其他西班牙儿童。在总样本中，50.7%是女孩。结果表明，个人关系项目分为家庭、学校和朋友三个组成部分。西班牙儿童在人际关系项目和主观幸福感量表上的手段高于巴西儿童。个人关系与主观幸福感之间存在显著关联，与家庭、学校和朋友的关系是两国儿童幸福感的预测指标。两国的家庭关系对儿童幸福的预测贡献最大，其次是学校关系和朋友关系。个人关系可以被认为是儿童幸福的预测因子，两国的解释差异约为40%。
