A Mixed ‐Methodological Evaluation of a Subjective Well‐Being Intervention Program With Elementary‐Age Students

An embedded mixed ‐methods design was implemented with 34 elementary‐age students (mean age = 10.15 years,SD = 0.65) to evaluate salient experiences and improvements in protective factors and life satisfaction associated with a subjective well ‐being intervention program (SWIP). Analyses resulted in a model of participant experiences in which thematic experiences with SWIP participation (improved emotional expression, enhanced self‐discovery, and increased empathy) promoted the emergence of protective factors (self‐concept and self‐ confidence) that contributed to life satisfaction.
