Resumo:This doctoral thesis aims to study the relationship between stressful everyday events, coping strategies for stress and subjective well-being in children and adolescents schooled in northeastern Brazil. The global sample is composed of 864 participants, who are students aged from 9 to 18 and enrolled in the 6th and 7th grades of 27 urban and rural schools, including both public and private, located in the state of Ceará. The administered questionnaires contained a Multidimensional Poverty Index; three Subjective Well-being Scales; eight Satisfaction Indexes for Life Domains; Core Scale Affects; Sense of Community Index; Inventory of Stressful Events; and Schoolagers’ Coping Strategies Inventory. The results of Study I reveal that a situation of greater social disadvantage is associated with a lower rate of subjective well-being, and that the multidimensional poverty index (MPI) is an important predictor of well-being among the studied population. The results of Study II indicate that students at public schools in urban contexts in northeastern Brazil are more exposed to everyday stress and score lower in sense of community, the latter being an important predictor of the studied population's well-being.The results of Study III identified girls as being most affected by everyday stressors, while their subjective well-being is explained by positive affects, which in turn is explained by negatively perceived stress
