“…Mexico is one of the countries in Latin America and the Caribbean with high levels of structural violence in its society (Charles-Leija et al, 2019 ). A high prevalence of violence directed at women from men is often observed due to the machismo ingrained in the different spheres of Mexican society (Moral & Ramos, 2016 ).…”

The current COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic has generated negative psychological effects on the global population. In this context, one of the most vulnerable groups is adolescents, who have faced a range of challenging scenarios. The consequences of this pandemic for the wellbeing of adolescents need to be researched across countries. From this perspective, this study aims to characterize the wellbeing of adolescents from Mexico and Chile during the pandemic and delve into the relationship between victimization and the hedonic and eudaimonic types of wellbeing. Data from adolescent students (n = 3,275) were used, with the support of the Global Research Alliance. Descriptive and regression analyses were conducted and their results indicated that: 1) Late adolescents scored lower on flourishing, and males scored higher than females. There was also a higher prevalence of languishing in late adolescents from both countries, as well as high levels of languishing in non-binary adolescents, especially in Chile; 2) There was a high prevalence of poly-victimization, with the highest percentage reported by females and the late adolescent group in both countries; 3) Non-victims had a higher probability of being in the flourishing group than victims in both countries; 4) Poly-victimization especially had an effect on the eudaimonic wellbeing of early adolescents and on the hedonic and eudaimonic wellbeing of late adolescents in both countries. Implications related to the mental health policies for adolescence are discussed in terms of how to increase adolescent wellbeing.

“…However, when the dependent variable (life satisfaction) is categorized into High and Low, personal security does turn out to be a statistically significant factor for life satisfaction, alongside other SWB indicators (table 3). The reason, which is also observable in the bubble diagram in figure 2, is that poor households appear to perceive the problem of security more acutely than higher-income households (Charles-Leija et al, 2018). By analyzing it at the household level, the problem of security manifests itself more among the poor in disadvantaged neighborhoods in which QoL and happiness is compromised by a plethora of impediments to well-being.…”

“…According to an econometric analysis by Rojas (2018a), satisfaction with life declines in the presence of perceptions of corruption and exposure to crime, these results coincide with those of Martinez-Martinez et al (2018). Charles-Leija et al (2018) report that violence disproportionally affects women, although stronger social and family networks and better educations reduce the likelihood of physical assaults and violence. Not everything is a problem in Latin America, and public policy needs to recognize that family and community are a source of strength and inspiration (Rojas, 2018a;Rojas & Elizondo-Lara, 2012).…”

El artículo hace una reseña de la literatura del bienestar y mide cómo los cuestionarios con preguntas subjetivas pueden mejorar nuestra comprensión del bienestar en México. El cuestionario utiliza datos a nivel estatal principalmente de dos cuestionarios de enfoque subjetivo, Módulo de Bienestar Autorreportado (BIARE) y Encuesta Nacional de Victimización y Percepción sobre Seguridad Pública (ENVIPE), ambos aplicados en 2014. El estudio emplea un análisis descriptivo y econométrico de indicadores inspirado tanto en la teoría como en investigaciones mexicanas previas. El análisis confirma que el bienestar subjetivo correlaciona con y complementa los datos objetivos y que la felicidad crece con un aumento en los ingresos, como lo sugiere la teoría. Además, se encontró que los mexicanos son relativamente felices, considerando los bajos ingresos y los altos niveles de inseguridad en el país. Se sugiere que el bienestar es un fenómeno complejo y multidimensional que se puede explorar utilizando la regresión múltiple exploratoria y modelos de correlación parcial que yuxtaponen indicadores subjetivos y objetivos.

“…In a study conducted with 136 women who were victims of violence, it was determined that violence has a direct effect on psychological distress and an indirect effect on happiness (Bonilla‐Algovia et al., 2020). In another study conducted with men and women who were exposed to domestic violence, it was reported that violence negatively affects happiness levels in both genders, and women are more severely affected than men (Charles‐Leija et al., 2019).…”
