Positive emotions were never thought as an important factor in adolescent development. Psychologists, academicians and sociologists for long have been talking about healthy growth and upbringing but the ways to enhance and maintain the same were not thought upon, until now. With changing times variables like satisfaction with life, poitive and negative affect and well being are now being studied in light of adolescents upbringing and development. But who fairs better at these positive variables? Who responds better to healthy development and which sex is more satisfied with life? This paper attempts to peep into the matter.
