Social Psychology and Child Well-Being

  • Reference work entry
Handbook of Child Well-Being

Abstract

Many social psychologists have published academic papers on topics related to child well-being and much research has been done on child well-being from a psychosocial perspective. Paradoxically, however, very few references can be found in social psychology handbooks or even in the most prominent scientific journals on social psychology. This is because within said discipline child well-being has been considered an applied topic rather than a theoretical challenge. Therefore, publications on the subject are found mainly in books or journals on applied social psychology or psychosocial intervention, with some also found in interdisciplinary journals or in very specialized books and journals relating to family, school, social policies, childhood, and adolescence, among others. In this chapter, we provide a very general overview (in no way exhaustive) of a range of contributions made to child well-being from a psychosocial perspective, with examples of the different topics addressed. We also present some of what we consider the most outstanding theoretical contributions to child well-being, which come mainly from European social psychology. As is the case with most human and social sciences, the majority of contributions to child well-being research have historically been from a negative perspective: social psychologists have focused mainly on children’s social problems. Only in the last two decades have publications begun to appear that deal with the subject from a positive perspective, with areas such as children’s participation and the promotion of children’s well-being and quality of life receiving attention from the international scientific community of social psychologists.
