Impact of living with or without parents

This study investigates the effects of living arrangements on the social competencies and well-being of adolescents. Comparing high school students living with their families to those residing in bursas (boarding schools) in Warsaw and its suburbs, the research reveals significant differences in assertiveness, social exposure, and overall well-being. Adolescents in bursas show higher levels of assertiveness and social exposure, as well as greater emotional and social well-being. The study highlights the role of independence and structured environments in fostering social skills and mental health. The findings underscore the importance of targeted interventions to enhance social competencies and support adolescent well-being. Data was collected using the Social Competence Questionnaire (KKS) and the Mental Health Continuum-Short Form (MHC-SF).

本研究探讨了居住安排对青少年社会能力与幸福感的影响。本研究以华沙及近郊的高中生为样本，对比了与家庭同住的学生与寄宿学校（bursas）就读学生之间的差异，结果显示二者在果敢性、社会接触度及整体幸福感上存在显著差异。就读于寄宿学校的青少年，其果敢性与社会接触度水平更高，情绪及社会幸福感也更为突出。本研究凸显了独立性与结构化环境在培养青少年社会技能与心理健康中的关键作用。研究结果强调，开展针对性干预以提升青少年社会能力、支持其幸福感具有重要意义。本研究采用社会能力问卷（Social Competence Questionnaire, KKS）与心理健康连续量表简版（Mental Health Continuum-Short Form, MHC-SF）收集相关数据。
