在本文中，我们使用英国家庭小组研究的 1994-1997 年青年调查来考察青少年的福祉。我们将福祉概念化为多维结构，并开发和测试性别和年龄差异模型。通过验证性因素分析，我们发现自尊、自我效能、不快乐和担忧方面存在明显的性别差异。我们确认，健康和一些健康风险行为（打架和吸烟）是相关的。我们测试了一些模型，研究家庭结构、父亲的职业、保有权和家庭收入如何影响青少年的福祉。虽然社会经济因素影响健康风险行为以及青少年报告的担忧，但它们对青少年福祉的其他方面影响不大。讨论了这些发现的含义。 (C) 2001 年青少年服务专业人员协会。
In this paper we use the 1994-1997 Youth Surveys of the British Household Panel Study to examine the wellbeing of young adolescents. We conceptualize wellbeing as a multi-dimensional construct and we develop and test models of gender and age differences. Using confirmatory factor analysis, we find clear gender differences in self-esteem,self-efficacy, unhappiness and worries. We confirm that wellbeing and some health-risk behaviours (fighting and smoking) are linked. We test models that examine how family structure, father's occupation, tenure, and household income, affect adolescent wellbeing. While socio-economic factors affect health-risk behaviours and also adolecents' reported worries, they have little impact on other aspects of youth wellbeing. The implications of these findings are discussed. (C) 2001 The Association for Professionals in Services for Adolescents.
