Researchers at the UPV/EHU-University of the Basque Country have shown that it is possible to predict the psychological well-being of adolescents by combining group and individual variables The UPV/EHU’s Qualiker research group has proposed a combination of variables never proposed before to study the psychological well-being of adolescent students. After testing a methodology that studies group and individual variables together on over two thousand adolescents, they have been able to show that this is valid in predicting psychological well-being.
