Abstract

This study aimed 1) to study the difference of effect size based on research characteristics, and 2) to study mediating effects and to verify the validity of a structural equation model with respect to the emotional intelligence, gratitude, coping and social support effects on the well-being of adolescents. The 67 samples  in this study were drawn from 100 research studies published from 2007 to 2019. MASEM was applied using R and MPlus for data analysis.

The results of the study are as follows: 1) The research characteristics, consisting of publishing, content and research methodology, had significant impact on the effect size of factors which affect well-being, at a .05 level of significance. 2) The total effects of emotional intelligence, social support, coping style and gratitude directly affected well-being of adolescents at .213, .141, .116 and .105 respectively. 3) Emotional intelligence and gratitude affected indirectly and significantly on adolescents’ well-being through coping style and social support at a .05 level of significance. 4) Emotional intelligence, gratitude, coping style, and social support were able to explain the variation of adolescents’ well-being, accounting for 18.3%; as additionally, the model was fitted to the empirical data
