Journal Title: Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal - Year 2023, Vol 15, Issue 8
Abstract
The current study aimed to better understand the correlation of emotional states and psychological well-being among children-in-conflict-with-the-law. Participants were 71 children-in-conflict-with-the-law detained at Manila Youth Reception Center. This study utilized correlation research design. They have completed a battery of tests that are highly reliable and valid examining the socio-educational profile such as length of stay, educational level and family structure, their emotional states (depression, anxiety - stress) and the components of Ryff's psychological well-being. Descriptive statistics such as frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation and rank were used to determine the level of desired constructs. Since the data is non-linear, the non-parametric test-Spearman rho rank was used to determine the degree and significant relationship between variables under study. Data analysis revealed that children in conflict with the law have mild, stress, moderate depression and severe anxiety. Correlational analysis shows that psychological well-being is inversely and largely correlated with anxiety and stress thus with high psychological well-being there could be great propensity of lower anxiety and stress. Explanations for these findings, conclusions and recommendations were discussed.
