Studies into adolescents in the environment of their school, peer and family with regard to constantly socio-economical changes bring new findings about this period of life.In addition, mental health, its components and possible determinants in adolescence are always an important topic for researchers in this field.Therefore, the present thesis is focusing on mental health, in particular on psychological well-being and self-esteem among Slovak adolescents.
