Variables Related to Well-Being in Adolescence

Dear Colleagues,

Adolescence is one of the most complex stages of the life cycle, marked by numerous biological, social, and cognitive changes. For a long time, a negative and conflicting view of this evolutionary stage had been maintained. However, adolescence is currently considered a time of transition that implies facing stressors and complicated situations and therefore requires important adaptations in a relatively short period of time. If it is not successfully overcome, more or less visible and serious problems are likely to manifest, such as substance use, violence, transgression of authority, school failure, psychological disorders, and even suicide. This is why this Special Issue aims to join contributions that investigate those capacities, skills, abilities, and experiences that, from an individual, social, or educational perspective, facilitate the well-being and integral development of adolescents, which results in the improvement of their wellbeing in the short and long term. In short, we welcome original research, reviews, or meta-analyses from the educational, psychological, and health fields with significant and quality contributions to expand the current knowledge on those variables related to adolescent wellbeing.

Some of the topics to highlight as part of this Special Issue dedicated to the adolescent stage are:

• Burnout and academic engagement
• Healthy development
• Social inclusion and school coexistence
• Youth violence, risk behaviors, and protective factors
• Emotional intelligence and stress management
• Well-being and quality of life
• Etc.
