Self-perception, Well-being, and Stress Among Upper Secondary School Pupils
(2019) PSPR14 20191Department of Psychology
- Abstract
- Psychological health among adolescents has declined over the past decades. A big portion of adolescence is spent in the school environment where, with time, demands increase. The aims of this study were to explore 1) pupils’ experience of student health services, family, friends, and the learning situation, 2) whether there is a difference in self-perception, well-being, perceived stress, learning situation, and relationship with friends and family between introverted and extraverted pupils, and 3) the degree to which the different aspects of school-life predict self-perception, well-being, and stress. Data was collected by means of a web-survey where 1045 respondents participated. The results show that there are significant differences... (More)

Data was collected by means of a web-survey where 1045 respondents participated. The results show that there are significant differences between genders and type of programme on self-perception, well-being and stress. Results also reveal significant differences between introverts and extraverts in pupils’ relationship with family and friends, experience of the learning situation, and their reported self-perception, well-being and stress. A series of hierarchical linear regressions reveal that there are several factors affecting pupils’ reported self-perception, well-being and stress. Learning situation and relation to family and friends were significant predictors for all three outcome variables. Our results suggest that pupils would benefit from the student health services being made more visible to them. (Less)
