Young adults face different stressors in their transition to college. Negative emotions such as stress can emerge from the demands they face. This study aimed at gaining an improved understanding of the role that gender and age play in the well-being of young adults. Coping strategies, resilience, self-regulation, and positivity were selected as indicators of well-being. Descriptive and inferential analysis have been conducted. Results show that well-being varies significantly with age and gender. Gender was predominantly involved in the acquisition of the well-being outcomes, highly predicting problem-focused coping strategies. No interaction effects were found between gender and age. An improved understanding of the developmental factors involved in well-being outcomes will enlighten future interventions aimed at improving young people's resources to face adversity.
年轻人在过渡到大学时面临不同的压力源。压力等负面情绪可能会因他们面临的要求而产生。本研究旨在更深入地了解性别和年龄在年轻人的幸福感中的作用。应对策略、韧性、自我调节和积极性被选为幸福感的指标。进行了描述性和推论性分析。结果表明，幸福感随年龄和性别有显著差异。性别主要参与幸福感结果的获得，高度预测问题焦点应对策略。没有发现性别和年龄之间的交互作用。对幸福感结果中涉及的发展因素有更深入的了解，将为未来旨在改善年轻人应对逆境的资源的干预措施提供启示。
