Value-related and normative foundations of the subjective well-being of modern youth

in this article, the author summarizes the main theoretical positions on the problem of defining subjective well-being, personality, and values. An empirical study is organized and conducted, aimed at identifying the value-normative foundations of the subjective well-being of modern youth. As many note, youth are at an important stage when they are just forming life goals, value orientations, and ideas about what it means to be satisfied with their life. Therefore, it can be said that subjective well-being plays a significant role not only for individual people but also for the development of society as a whole. The basis of the research is the sociological survey method (n=100). Based on the results of the study, contradictions are identified, and the value-normative ideal of subjective well-being characteristic of modern youth (in a student sample) is determined.
