Objectif The project has two general objectives.First, it aims at the description of emotional (non-) well-being and its developmental trajectory in adolescents from 12-17 years living under a variety of socio-economic conditions in 3 CIS-countries;Second, the project sets up an intervention to improve the quality of psycho-social resources available to adolescents and determines empirically the causal affectivity of this intervention toa) prevent and/or relieve non-well-being (main indicator: depressivity) and;b) promote emotional well being (main indicators: self-acceptance, autonomy, mastery, life goals).Preliminary research has indicated that emotional non-well being is quite high and rising. About 2 thousand adolescents (initially from 12-16 years old), distributed over 5 regions (Karelia/Russia, metropolitan Moscow, small city Obninsk/Russia, Cherkassy/Ukraine, Bishkek/Kyrgystan), will be followed up over 5 measurement occasions. Part (2/3) of this group participates, together with their parents and teachers, in an intervention experiment which is set up according to a randomised control waiting group design. The other, a equivalent part (1/3) receives no intervention, but serves as a control group to allow the assessment of long term effects of the intervention.Both short-term and long-term effects of the intervention on the development of emotional (non-)well being will be determined.Scientifically, the results will extend the knowledge about adolescent emotional (non)well being with results from a part of the world where such research has hardly been done, while at the same time testing the cross-cultural validity of already obtained insights from western psychology. The project results are also important for practitioners.The two interconnected parts of the project (follow-up, and developmental intervention) will contribute to the scientific basis fora) establishing a Monitor for adolescent mental health, and for;b) effective intervention by school psychological services.
