Abstract
To expand the scope of clinical research on youngsters' subjective well-being, the present work gathered data on the degree of satisfaction/dissatisfaction with respect to major aspects of daily living and on the relationship between life dissatisfaction and perceived control at school of children and adolescents. The self-reports of students in regular classrooms and those referred for mental health services are contrasted. In addition, data on the relationship between dissatisfaction and scores on the Children's Depression Inventory are reported for the mental health sample.Keywords
