Abstract:
Relevance. The relevance of the study stems from the fact that adolescence is a crisis age and young men's lives are being
restructured both emotionally and in terms of values. Age-related changes entail learning new skills and modifying
behavioural patterns in order to cope effectively with life's challenges.
Purpose. The aim of the study is to examine the relationship between emotional intelligence and subjective well-being.
The analysis of the issues was conducted using a theoretical and practical research framework. The theoretical framework
is based on the methods of analysis, synthesis, generalisation, comparison and classification. The practical part consisted
of testing and processing the results.
Methodology. The following research methods were chosen for testing: the C. Ryff's psychological well-being scale and
the D. Lyusin's emotional intelligence questionnaire.
Results. The results were processed using Pearson's statistical correlation coefficient. The sample for the study consisted
of 168 participants. An analysis of the theory regarding the indicators under study makes it clear that no single definition
of 'subjective well-being' has emerged in scientific sources, but scientists have identified a number of factors and components in its structure that somehow influence the level of development of subjective well-being of the individual,
which in turn influences the quality of life as a whole.
Conclusions. Practical research suggests that there is a direct correlation between the level of development of emotional
intelligence and the level of subjective well-being. The research materials will be useful to workers in the field of social
and psychological work, practical psychologists of higher educational institutions, specialists in professional guidance
work, and social pedagogues.
