PATIAS, Naiana Dapieve; HEINE, Júlia Assumpção  e  DELL'AGLIO, Débora Dalbosco. Subjective well-being, violence and symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress in adolescents. Aval. psicol. [online]. 2017, vol.16, n.4, pp. 468-477. ISSN 1677-0471.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15689/ap.2017.1604.13012.

This study investigated the relationship between exposure to direct violence (DV) and indirect violence (IV), subjective well-being (SWB) and symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress in 426 adolescents aged 12 to 18 years (M = 14.91; SD = 1.66). The instruments used were the Screening for Children's Exposure to Violence in the Community; Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale for Adolescents (DASS-A); Positive Affects Scale (PA) and Negative Affects (NA) Scale; and the Multidimensional Scale of Life Satisfaction for Adolescents (MSLSA). Multiple Linear Regression indicated a model in which being exposed to DV and IV, being female, having a higher level of NA and lower levels of SVA, explained 47% of the variation in DASS-A scores. Depression and DV explained 39% of the variation in SWB scores. Exposure to DV and IV was associated with symptoms of anxiety, depression and stress, demonstrating that it constitutes a risk factor for emotional development.
