“…Adolescents in orphanages who experience difficulties in adapting to social change feel depressed, so it leads to inconvenience, deviant behavior, and dissatisfied feeling with the conditions of life in the orphanage (Sengendo & Nambi, 1997). Adolescents raised in orphanages also have a tendency to compare their living conditions with those of others, so that the tendency can influence their subjective wellbeing (Zotova, Tarasova, & Syutkina, 2016). A study of Yuniana (2013) reveals that adolescents in orphanages have low life satisfaction that appears in pessimistic attitudes in looking toward their future, and they think of not getting attention, they have a negative affect of feeling sad that there is no opportunity to serve their parents, and they feel that they are being shunned by their friends.…”

Adolescents who live in orphanages need to adjust to the orphanage's conditions and rules to meet their subjective well-being. The fact shows not all adolescents living in orphanages are able to achieve subjective well-being in their lives. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of gratitude training in improving the subjective well-being of adolescents in an orphanage. A quasiexperimental design with a nonequivalent control group design was used in this study. Sixteen orphanage boys with moderately subjective well-being level participated in this study. Data were analyzed using non-parametric statistical analysis Mann Whitney u test and Wilcoxon. The results show that gratitude training is effective for improving the subjective well-being of the participants. The most improvement of subjective well-being was experienced by the participants who actively communicate with caregivers and optimistically achieve goals and expectations. The implication of this research is that to achieve subjective well-being in everyday live we should develop grateful behavior.Keywords gratitude training subjective well-being quasi experiment adolescents in orphanages

“…Subjective well-being comprises both cognitive and emotional components. Interrelations between these two components attest that satisfaction at cognitive level is accompanied by sensing emotional well-being ( [25]. P. 161).…”

Wellbeing is a multifaceted phenomenon with regard to its conceptualization, fields of application, discourse practices and a great number of components. Its greatest advantage resides in health improvement and lifespan increment. Health can be considered as a source of physical and mental force, as an adaptive ability of the organism, an ideal and meaning of life, an ideal state of the individual who feels well. The aim of the study was to examine socio-psychological features of the respondents with different degrees of subjective wellbeing and health self-esteem pronouncement. As a result, the four groups involving 202 testees were singledout. The survey showed that both health self-esteem and subjective wellbeing serve as predictors not only of attitude towards the world and the self but also as a certain “frame” through the prism of which the person perceives the world around. It was revealed that the respondents with low health self-esteem are emotionallyunstable, prone to neuroticism and dissatisfaction with their life in general. The group of the testees with high health self-esteem and high level of subjective wellbeing are characterized by proactive attitude, a zest for life, positive self-esteem, lack of sustainable tension, while the respondents with low level of subjectivewellbeing and low health self-esteem exhibit an increased level of neuroticism, significance of their social environment and preoccupation with their own emotional sensations. The search for individual and typological specific features depending on the person’s subjective perceptions about his health and wellbeing allows forrevealing idiosyncratic “syndromes” of individual consciousness. Keywords: subjective wellbeing, mental health, typology.
