Abstract | Based on the analysis of scientific research, it has been concluded that methodology "Social Emotional Health Survey - Secondary" (SEHS-S) with meta-construct of Covitality is a universal tool in order to define the social and emotional health of teenagers and young people; it has also been found that the meta-construct of Covitality is essentially related to other psychological constructs, such as emotional intelligence, vitality, social competence and mental health. In the research that was conducted in Riga Teacher Training and Educational Management Academy (Timofejeva, 2015), the method of M.J. Furlong has been adapted to the Russian language, Latvian language interpretation of the notion of Coviality has been proposed offering terms “Sociāli emocionālās veselības faktors” or SEV (Social and Emotional Health factor) or “sinerģiskā vitalitāte” (“Synergic vitality”). Furthermore, theoretically constructive model of author has been created. Within this model, a new correlation has been hypothetically predicted between meta-construct of Covitality (SEV-factor) and other scientifically acknowledged psycho-social constructs and notions: psycho-social prerequisites of the SEV-factor and psychological options that depend on the level of the SEV-factor. |
