Psychological well-being and success of students in grades 5-11: analysis of latent profiles

Context and relevance. The problems that the individual faces in adolescence can have long -term consequences not only for his school life, but also to influence later events: the choice of profession, family and well -being in adulthood. Therefore, many researchers seek to highlight the factors associated with the emergence of difficulties and problems in the school life of the child in order to develop suitable prevention or correction strategies. Aim. To allocate and analyze the latent profiles of students in grades 5-11, from the point of view of academic performance, psychological well -being, cognitive and physical condition of the child and evaluate a change  of latent profiles from 5 to 11 class. Methods and materials. The study was attended by 1387 students of grades 5–11 aged 11 to 18 years (51% of girls, average age 13.68 years. The indicators were investigated: the body mass index, daytime drunkenness index, cognitive indicators, academic success, psychological well -being. Data analysis was carried out in the MCLUS software environment. Results. According to the results of the analysis, the best indicators have a model with 4 latent profiles: latent profile 1 - “satisfactory students without difficulties” amounted to 11% (159 observations), latent profile 2 “Successful and prosperous” - 28% (389 observations), latent profile 3 “Overloaded students” - 38% (525 observations) and latent profile 4, 23% of 23% of 23% (313 observations). The proportion of students from each latent profile varies from 5 class to 11 class. Conclusions. The allocated latent profiles of students allow you to look at the dynamics of psychological and emotional well -being from 5 to 11, taking into account a large number of parameters.
