Abstract (English): 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. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Spanish): El concepto de bienestar ha tomado cada vez más relevancia en la sociedad. Su masificación, sin embargo, no representa que sea comprendido igual por todas y todos, pues se trata de un constructo con diversos significados. El bienestar se distingue por su naturaleza compleja y multifacética, integrando componentes tanto objetivos como subjetivos. Además, para investigar el bienestar es primordial tomar en cuenta la etapa del ciclo vital y la culturaen la que las personas se encuentran, por lo que es importante hacer estudios que se centren en un grupo etario y contexto específico, que en este caso son las y los adolescentes en Colima, México, para quienes sus familias son fundamentales, permitiéndoles su desarrollo pleno. Por ello, se realizó una investigación cuyo objetivo fue analizar las relaciones entre el significado psicológico de bienestar y de familia desde la perspectiva de adolescentes colimenses. Se utilizó la técnica de redes semánticas naturales para estudiar una muestra de 62 adolescentes estudiantes de bachilleratos de la ciudad de Colima. Los resultados muestran una íntima relación entre el significado de bienestar y el de familia, mostrando diversas dimensiones en común, pero también contrastes. Se concluyó que las familias son una fuente esencial de bienestar para las y los adolescentes participantes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
