Abstract

The paper presents the first findings of the children’s subjective well-being survey in Russia, which was conducted among representative sample of over 1719 pupils aged 10 and 12 years from Tyumen region in 2017–2018. The study is a part of International Survey of Children’s Well-being (ISCWeB) – Children’s Worlds. The main purpose of the research was to classify children in the field reflexive (cognitive) indicators of subjective well-being. The authors suggest that subjective well-being is a global regulatory mechanism; the core of it is children correlation of internal and external through reflection. Two-stage cluster analysis with selected cognitive factors of subjective well-being (intrareflexive, interreflexive) provides to group children in three clusters which are homogeneous to the research object and to build typical patterns of these groups representatives. As a result of Analysis of variance, belonging to any cluster group statistically significant influence on such factors as Overall Subjective Well-Being, Positive and Negative Affects, Psychological Subjective Well-Being.
