Abstract
Today, the issues of psychological well-being of young women, quality, and life satisfaction are becoming increasingly relevant in economics, political science, healthcare, the social sphere, and psychology. The changing political situation all over the world, the dynamics of society development and competitive conditions encourage a person to have a comfortable, harmonious life and maintain a positive and productive level of mental mood. All this contributes to meeting the basic and material needs of young women, maintaining a balance of positive and negative emotions, comprehensive realization of the abilities to self-knowledge and self-assessment, overcoming stress, searching for their own values, and personal professional creative activity. The lack of psychological well-being and the necessary quality of life lead young women to discomfort, feeling unhappy, helpless, lonely, domestic violence, to becoming victims of difficult life situations. The works of domestic and foreign scientists, as well as the results of our research, have established that psychological well-being is closely related to the quality of life, a sense of satisfaction, and happiness. They argue for the relationship between the feeling of happiness and satisfaction as an indicator of the psychological well-being of young women. 60 young girls and women aged 18 to 38 from Astana took part in our study. The average age of respondents is 25 years. In order to determine the indicators of psychological well-being of young women, we selected the following methods: “Psychological Well-Being” Questionnaire “Scale of Psychological Well-Being” by Carol Riff (adaptation by T.D. Shevelenkova, P.P.Fesenko); updated Oxford questionnaire of happiness compiled by colleagues of M. Argyle, the scale of life satisfaction by E.Diener. These methods revealed indicators of psychological well-being
