Resumen

The aim was to test a predictive model for life satisfaction of students in the final years of Elementary Education, considering risk predictors (exposure to violence and discrimination) and protective predictors (social skills, perception of social support and sense of community), as well as the gender variable. Participants were 709 students who attended the 7th, 8th and 9th years of public schools in the state of Rio de Janeiro. Regression analyses indicated a final model, which explained 23% of the variability in life satisfaction. The data showed that personal, relational and contextual resources act as protective factors for life satisfaction and can be promoted in interventions with students at the end of Elementary Education.
