Abstract

[This chapter presents the preliminary analysis of a research study carried out in the course of 2013 in Caracas, Venezuela – on the quality of life of high school students, by using the PWI (2006) translated and adapted into an Argentine version (Tonon and Aguirre 2009) and the ESCVP (Scale of Satisfaction with Life in the Country, Tonon 2009, 2011). For this purpose, a sampling was compiled of 801 high school students attending five educational institutions (three private schools and two state schools), comprising 425 boys and 376 girls between 12 and 18 years of age. Satisfaction indicators of personal well-being showed differences between students studying in state schools and those attending private schools, showing higher levels of satisfaction in the former case, with the exception of the economic status indicator. In all cases, the indicators marking the scale of satisfaction with life in the country showed higher rates for high school students attending public schools as compared to private schools.]
