DYNAMICS OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF SOCIAL MATURITY AND FEATURES OF THE PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING OF STUDENT YOUTH

Abstract

This article analyzes the dynamics of the formation of social maturity and the characteristics of the psychological well-being of student youth. The general idea of human well-being has existed since ancient times. It was associated in various ways with other concepts, such as “happiness”, “satisfaction”, “quality of life” and was the subject of reflection by the earliest philosophers. The category of psychological well-being, which appeared relatively recently, serves as the object of research by domestic and foreign psychologists and sociologists. However, there is still a need to study the relationship between various concepts that characterize the positive functioning of the individual, highlighting areas of their intersection and differences in order to ultimately have a clear understanding of the structure, quality and essence of well-being. There is also a need for psychological practice to possess a meaningful theory of personal well-being and the resulting methods of working with psychological distress
