A Study on Life Satisfaction with Genz

Abstract

This paper discusses the topic of life satisfaction in Generation Z, examining some of the most important factors, including self-esteem, perceived stress, parent-child relationships, and self-validation by means of social media. Adopting a quantitative research strategy, the data were gathered via surveys among undergraduate students and a structured questionnaire with a 5-point Likert scale was used to collect the data, which means that self-esteem is the key factor affecting life satisfaction, and the strong parent-child relationships and self-validation via social media are also significant. The report indicates the necessity of promoting positive self-esteem and positive conditions to make the lives of Gen Z people more desirable. Further researches can investigate other variables such as culture background and social support to gain a clearer insight of what defines the sense of life satisfaction in this generation.
