The problem of psychological well-being is particularly acute in the age group of young people, because during this time a person's identity is formed and the next profession is chosen. High psychological well-being implies the sense of purpose of life, optimism, the ability to establish positive attitudes with others, which creates preconditions for positive personality development. For this reason, young people from comprehensive schools were selected for the study.
The significance of the research is justified by the fact that similar studies on psychological well-being in the youth age were not carried out in Latgale region.
The aim of the study was to investigate the peculiarities of psychological well-being of young people in Rezekne comprehensive schools.
