THE SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING OF PREADOLESCENTS WORLDWIDE AND IN ROMANIA IN DATA AND STUDIES

Summary/Abstract: In this particular paper we aim to bring to the forefront a series of researches on the social and emotional well-being of preadolescents in different parts of the world: the European, Asian, African, North American, South American and Australian spaces. This paper also emphasizes the way in which the similarities and differences among cultures are both present in the research of the social and emotional well-being of children and preadolescents. A not inconsiderable minority of young people suffer from anxiety disorders, depression and other mood disorders and behavioural problems. Others have low self-esteem and feelings of insecurity. Given the harmful consequences of such disorders / difficulties, both in preadolescence and in later adult life, the appropriate authorities and the decision-makers should pay attention to the mental and emotional health of preadolescents so that they can develop sound strategies of prevention and intervention to raise awareness and prepare for these challenges. In this paper we will take into account, of course, Romania's situation regarding the social-emotional wellbeing of children. The selection of studies was made based on the accuracy of the data, the importance at a national and international level and the relevance for the present piece of work.
