- Abstract
- Personal values are trans-situational goals, for which past research found associations with subjective wellbeing in adults, adolescents and recently also children. However, little is known about domain-specific wellbeing associations concerning one of the most important developmental contexts for children: their school. The current work takes both an (un)healthy value perspective, positing positive and negative associations between certain values and wellbeing, and a value congruence perspective, positing that self-other value congruence is beneficial for wellbeing. Primary school children (8–12 years of age; N = 274; 49% female) reported their own value priorities, the value priorities they assumed their peers to have, as well as their sense of school belonging and school satisfaction as indicators of their wellbeing at school. Our results show that healthy values (benevolence, universalism, self-direction, stimulation, hedonism) are positively and unhealthy values (power, achievement, security, conformity, tradition) are negatively associated with both school wellbeing indictors. This structurally replicates past work on associations of school children’s healthy values and with general satisfaction with life. More importantly, our results additionally show that above and beyond actual (objective) self-peer values congruence, perceived (subjective) self-peer value congruence is positively associated with both school wellbeing indicators. Taken together, our results stress the importance of school curricula nourishing healthy values in children and focusing on what unites rather than divides school children and their peers regarding what they deem important in life.
