Abstract

The concept of well-being has become increasingly relevant in society. However, its widespread recognition does not imply that it is understood uniformly by everyone, as it is a construct with diverse meanings. Well-being is characterized by its complex and multifaceted nature, incorporating both objective and subjective components. Moreover, to research well-being, it is important to consider the life cycle stage and culture of the individuals involved, making it crucial to conduct studies focused on a specific age group and context, in this case, adolescents from Colima, Mexico, for whom their families are fundamental, allowing their full development. Therefore, a study was conducted with the aim of analyzing the relationships between the psychological meaning of well-being and family from the perspective of adolescents from Colima. The natural semantic networks technique was used to study a sample of 62 high school students from the city of Colima, Mexico. The results show a close relationship between the meanings of well-being and family, revealing various dimensions in common, but also contrasts. It was concluded that families are an essential source of well-being for the participating adolescents.
