| Abstract [eng] |
The aim of the study was to reveal the links between senior teenagers' satisfaction with life, bullying experiences, self-esteem and academic achievement. 175 X and 215 Y pupils of gymnasiums participated in the study, comprising the total of 390 students in 10th – 12th grades. The age of the adolescents in the study ranged from 16 to 19 years of age. The study has been done using the Multidimensional Students' Life Satisfaction Scale (S. Huebner, 2001), Bullying Experience questionnaire (Šimulionienė, Gedutienė, Čepienė, Rugevičius, 2008) and Rosenberg's Self-Esteem Scale (SES, M. Rosenberg, 1965). The results of the study revealed that family and self-satisfaction provides the greatest satisfaction with life of elderly teenagers. School is considered to provide the smallest life satisfaction. The results of the study showed that there are more boys than girls who have bullied others in both real life and online. The majority with the experience of online and traditional bullying consists of girls. The boys in the study expressed a higher self-esteem then girls. However, girls consider their academic achievements as higher than boys. After the correlation analysis has been carried out, the links between senior teenagers' life satisfaction with bullying experiences, self-esteem and academic achievements were determined. |
