GONGORA, Vanesa e CASTRO SOLANO, Alejandro. Bienestar emocional, psicológico y social y variables demográficas en población adulta de la ciudad de Buenos Aires. Rev. psicodebate: psicol. cult. soc. [online]. 2018, vol.18, n.1, pp.72-83. ISSN 24516600.
The study aimed to 1) compare the levels of satisfaction with life, meaning in life, satisfaction in different areas of life, depression and somatic symptoms in adults from the city of Buenos Aires among the mental health continuum categories and 2) to compare the levels of emotional, psychological and social well-being in adults from Buenos Aires by sex, age group, occupation and educational level. A sample of 460 adults (18-85 years old) from the city of Buenos Aires was used. The Mental Health Continuum-Short Form, CES-D Depression Scale, Schaffer Somatic Symptoms Scale, the Satisfaction with Life Scale, the Meaning in Life Questionnaire and Personal Well-being Index were used. The results indicated that adults who were in the flourishing mental health category had higher levels of satisfaction with life, satisfaction in different areas of life, and presence of meaning in life as well as lower level of depression and somatic symptoms. Adults with higher levels of education showed higher levels of psychological and social well-being. Higher social well-being was found in middle-aged adults (30-60 years) and in independent workers.
