Summary/Abstract: The main purpose of this study is to examine the need for social approval in adolescents and to examine their well-being in terms of some variables. It is a quantitative research based on descriptive survey model. This study was carried out with 150 participants in Nicosia and Famagusta secondary schools in K.K.T.C. The data were obtained by using the Social Confirmation Need Scale, Wellbeing for Adolescents Scale and Sociodemographic Information Form developed by the researchers. In the analysis of the data, t-test, pearson moment product correlation coefficient, one-way ANOVA, Cronbach alpha and homogeneity test were used. The level of social approval needs of adolescents showed a significant difference in terms of grade level and nationality variables. Besides, the levels of well-being of adolescents did not differ significantly according to demographic characteristics. A significant positive correlation was found between the level of social approval of adolescents and their level of well-being. The findings of the study were discussed in the light of the literature and suggestions about the results were developed.
