Abstract:

The general aim of this study was to analyse the effects of peer violence in the school context, school climate and perceived developmental contexts on children and adolescents’ subjective well-being. The sample is comprised of 910 students in Years 6 and 7 of primary school. Study participants attended 27 public and private schools in urban and rural locations in Ceará. It is a cross-sectional, quantitative study and the following instruments were used: scales measuring victimization and aggression among peers and school climate; three indexes on perceptions of developmental contexts (home, school, neighbourhood); and three well-being scales (Students’ Life Satisfaction Scale, Personal Wellbeing Index School Children, Single item on Overall Life Satisfaction). Data were analysed using multivariate variance analysis, with a significance level below 0, 01. Results indicate that bullying, alone or in interaction with the variables analysed, is the variable that has most impact on the well-being of the studied population, those involved in bullying displaying lower well-being means. Low levels of perception regarding the contexts of home, school and neighbourhood, and school climate are all also associated with low subjective well-being.
