Degree of life satisfaction among young people is associated with collectivism
An international group of scientists from Italy, the USA, China and Russia have studied the relationship between collectivism, individualism and life satisfaction among young people aged 18-25 in four countries.
They found that the higher the index of individualistic values at the country level, the higher the life satisfaction of young people s lives. At the individual level, however, collectivism was more significant for young people. In all countries, young people found a positive association between collectivism, particularly with regard to family ties, and life satisfaction.
This somewhat contradicts and at the same time clarifies the results of previous studies. Russia was represented in the research group by Sofya Nartova-Bochaver, Professor at HSE University s School of Psychology. The results of the study have been published in the journal
