    Predictors of family, school and neighbourhood domain on life satisfaction in chilean adolescents
    (2022) Oyarzún Gómez, Denise; Casas, Ferran; Alfaro Inzunza, Jaime
    Los adolescentes viven en constante interacción con los ámbitos de su vida familiar, escolar y del barrio, dicha interrelación mantieneun papel activo que influye en su bienestar subjetivo. El objetivo del estudio fue determinar la influencia de los ámbitos familia, escuela y barrio sobre la satisfacción con la vida de adolescentes chilenos. La muestra fue de 1392 adolescentes, quienes participaron en la International Survey on Children’s Well-Being (ISCWeB) en Chile. Los resultados prueban que un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales configurado con cinco dimensiones referidas a la familia, la escuela y el barrio contribuyeron, conjuntamente, a explicar 41% de la varianza de la satisfacción con la vida de los estudiantes. Al añadir al modelo, las variables género, edad e índice de vulnerabilidad escolar no se observó ninguna influencia en la satisfacción vital. Un hallazgo inesperado y contradictorio con otros estudios fue que la satisfacción con la escuela no ejerció influencia en este modelo. Las implicancias del estudio refieren a que los resultados pueden funcionar como diagnóstico para proponer intervenciones del bienestar subjetivo basadas en fortalecer el ámbito familiar, escolar o del barrio de los estudiantes.

    Material Conditions and Their Relationship with Affective Components of Subjective Well-being in Children
    (2024) Ditzel, Ana Loreto; Chuecas, María Josefina; Benavente, María Victoria; Alfaro Inzunza, Jaime; Villarroel Gutiérrez, Alejandra
    The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between material conditions, and affective components of subjective well-being in a representative sample, using data from the International Survey of Children’s Well-being (ISCWeB), of 1994 Chilean children in the 5th and 7th grades, with a mean age of 10.50 years (SD = 0.66) and 12.51 years (SD = 0.69), respectively. Descriptive statistical analyses were carried out, in addition to a regression analysis, considering age and gender variables. The main results showed that the majority of children report having material resources in the material conditions associated with basic needs and feeling happier to a greater extent. Regression analysis showed that children’s material conditions had a significant effect on positive and negative affect in both age groups. Children who reported greater access to material conditions had a higher mean positive affect. This effect was greater in the older group of children. In relation to gender, no significant differences were observed between girls and boys in the 10-yearold group, while in the 12-year-old group there were significant differences, both in positive and negative affect, with women reporting lower affective well-being. The results are discussed, which highlight the importance of considering the affective components of children’s subjective well-being when analyzing the material conditions in which they live and the differential effects according to age and gender.
