Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a serious impact on the lives and health of people around the world. An extremely important problem remains the search for determinants that make it possible to effectively cope with post-COVID consequences. Aim. Analysis of the relationship between subjective well-being and youth perceptions of the impact of COVID-19 on life and health in the post-COVID period. The study was conducted on a Russian sample in the period from May to October 2024 (n=131).
Methodology. We used the following tools: a standardized methodology for determining the level of subjective well-being by Ed Diener and author's questionnaire aimed at identifying the socio-demographic characteristics of the sample, a subjective assessment of the degree of COVID-19's impact on life and health and an emotional-associative aura towards the pandemic.
Results. The results of the study showed a subjective level of life satisfaction in the sample – above average. At the same time, young respondents don’t tend to highly assess the impact of the pandemic on significant areas of life. The state of physical and mental health is subjectively assessed as good. The correlation analysis revealed significant correlations of the scales of subjective well-being with the level of subjective assessments of the impact of COVID-19 on spheres of life and with subjective assessments of the state of physical and mental health.
Research implications. The results of the study expand the understanding of the importance of cognitive and emotional determinants in forming an understanding of the consequences of COVID-19, which can be used in rehabilitation practice.
