Empirical verification of theoretical model between subjective well-being, self-esteem and depression in non-clinical young people
This study aimed to verify a theoretical model in which the subjective well-being construct explains self-esteem and depression in non-clinical Brazilian youth. A sample of 1864 subjects (men and women) aged 12 to 20 years of elementary or higher education from public institutions, in addition to socio-demographic data, responded to the subjective well-being inventory, the self-esteem scale and the depression inventory.
