Data were collected from a sample of 240 high school students. Each of these subjects completed a basic demographic form along with the Adolescent Form of the Wellness Star Scale and Life Satisfaction Scale.  Data were analyzed with descriptive analysis, t-test and oneway ANOVA. Results of these analyses failed to reveal significant differences between groups based on the variables of age, gender and life satisfaction about total wellness. The results suggested meaningful differences in social and physical subscales between genders. According to results, females have higher score on social subscale while males have higher score on physical subscale. The results also suggested a meaningful difference in social subscale among age groups. The finding showed that social subscale scores of students become lower with the increase in age. At the same time, no meaningful differences were found among different life satisfaction level in terms of subdimension of wellness. The findings were further examined in light of recent research and implications for counseling with adolescent subjects are discussed.  </span></p><p><strong><br /></strong></p><p><strong>Öz</strong></p><p>Bu çalışmada, ortaöğretim öğrencilerinin iyilik hallerinin, yaş, cinsiyet ve yaşam doyumu değişkenlerine göre değişip değişmediği sorusuna yanıt aranmıştır. Toplam 240 ortaöğretim öğrencisinden İyilik Hali Yıldızı Ölçeği-Ergen Formu, Yaşam Doyumu Ölçeği ve kişisel bilgi formu aracılığı ile veri toplanmıştır. Elde edilen veriler betimsel analizler, t testi ve tek yönlü varyans analizi aracılığı ile değerlendirilmiştir. Araştırmanın sonuçlarına göre farklı cinsiyet, yaş ve farklı yaşam doyumu düzeyine sahip gruplar arasında iyilik halinden alınan toplam puanlar açısından anlamlı fark bulunmamıştır. Öte yandan cinsiyetler arasında fiziksel ve sosyal iyilik hali alt boyutlarından alınan puanlarda anlamlı fark olduğu bulunmuştur. Bulgular incelendiğinde erkeklerin fiziksel iyilik hali, kız öğrencilerin ise sosyal iyilik hali puanlarının daha yüksek olduğu bulunmuştur. Diğer bulgu yaş grupları açısından yalnızca sosyal iyilik hali puanının farklılaştığı ve yaş arttıkça sosyal iyilik hali alt boyutundan alınan puanların düştüğü yönündedir.  Yaşam doyum düzeyleri farklı olan öğrencilerin alt boyutlarından alınan puanları arasında anlamlı fark bulunmamıştır. Bulgular alanyazına bağlı olarak tartışılmış ve ergenlerle yapılan psikolojik danışma hizmetleri için bazı öneriler sunulmuştur.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 6.0pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; margin-left: 0cm; text-align: justify; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';" lang="EN-US">This study sought to investigate the concept of wellness in high school students and in particular whether such variables as gender, age and life satisfaction impact on adolescent wellness.
