“…Instrument created by Huebner (1991) to measure global satisfaction with life in children and adolescents from 8 to 18 years old, which has been validated in Chile and has adequate psychometric properties for Chilean children and adolescents ( Alfaro et al., 2016 ; Benavente et al., 2019 ).…”

“…In the same line of a previous study conducted in a country from a different region of Europe [ 55 ], a remarkable satisfaction with life on the part of children was observed. Hence, the application of measurements to recognize well-being increases their understanding of their state, being a guide to recognize actions oriented for its improvement [ 56 , 57 ]. In this sense, in line with a recent study [ 58 ], a relationship between the use of their leisure time and the satisfaction experienced by children is appreciated.…”

Leisure time activities in childhood may have a crucial role in the development of subjective well-being. Nevertheless, more research is needed with cross-national samples concerning the differential effects of lifestyles on life satisfaction. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to analyze the associations between the frequency of playing sports/exercise or playing electronic games on life satisfaction in a sample of 12-year-old children from nine countries from the European Union. The data used in this publication come from the third wave of the Children’s Worlds project, an international survey of children’s lives and well-being whose administration started in 2017. The sample was composed of 10,626 children (50.9% boys) from Estonia, Belgium, Croatia, Estonia, Hungary, Italy, Malta, Poland, Romania, and Spain. They completed the Student Life Satisfaction Scale and answered two questions to assess the frequency of playing sport or exercise, and the frequency of playing electronic games. The results indicated notable scores in life satisfaction in all participating countries. The results showed some differences between boys and girls, and among the countries, in the frequency of sport practice and electronic games in the leisure time, as well as in the overall level of life satisfaction. The results also underlined that sport practice had a greater positive effect on life satisfaction than the use of electronic games. Thus, this study highlights the need to design programs to promote sport practice in leisure time for 12-year-old children in Europe, in order to protect their subjective well-being.

“…This instrument was developed by Huebner ( 43 ) for measuring global satisfaction with life in children and adolescents aged 8 to 18 years. This scale has been validated in Chile and shown to have adequate psychometric properties in Chilean children and adolescents ( 43 , 44 ). An abbreviated four-item version was used for the present study, which assesses several measures of life satisfaction through an 11-point Likert-type response scale (0 = Strongly disagree; 10 = Strongly agree), which includes the following statements: “My life is going well,” “My life is the way I want it to be,” “I have a good life” and “I have what I want in life.” Higher scores on the scale indicate higher levels of life satisfaction.…”

IntroductionDuring the COVID-19 pandemic, adolescents had to deal with a range of mental health problems that has increased social media addiction levels with adverse effects on life satisfaction. Previous studies have explored coping mechanisms to deal with this addiction problem, but did not consider the need to simultaneously cope with different dimensions. Therefore, our study aimed to examine the moderating effect of various coping mechanisms on the relationship between social media addiction and adolescent life satisfaction.MethodsSelf-report questionnaires were applied to 1290 secondary school students (age mean = 16.03, SD = 1.27, range: 14 to 19; and 57% female). An exploratory and a confirmatory factor analysis were performed to determine the factor structure of the Brief-Cope 28 scale. Then, a descriptive and correlational analysis of the variables and a multiple linear regression analysis was performed.ResultsWe found that the social media addiction risk was negatively associated with life satisfaction, adaptive strategies were positively correlated to life satisfaction, and maladaptive strategies were negatively correlated to it. Also, a moderation model was evaluated in which four stress management strategies, namely acceptance and perspective-taking, seeking socio-emotional support, active coping, and maladaptive strategies all conditioned the relationship between social media addiction risk and life satisfaction after controlling for demographic variables and the specific strategies of using comedy, religion and substance use. Results indicate additive and multiplicative effects of management strategies for stressful situations in the studied relationship. Seeking socio-emotional support and active coping were positively related to life satisfaction and maladaptive strategies were negatively associated with it. Multiplicative effects indicate that the relationship between the social media addiction risk and life satisfaction depends only on the acceptance and perspective taking that adolescents report. When adolescents reported having low or average levels of acceptance and perspective taking, there was a negative correlation with general life satisfaction, a connection that grew markedly stronger. In contrast, no connection between social media addiction and life satisfaction was detected for adolescents who report higher levels of acceptance and perspective-taking.DiscussionAbuse of social media and the use of maladaptive stress coping strategies were risk factors that decreased life satisfaction among adolescents during the COVID-19 pandemic period.
