Abstract Based on 20 in-depth interviews with young Spaniards aged 20–35 years in the London region, this article explores the linked processes of migration, adaptation, and young–adult life transitions from the perspective of psychosocial well-being. Although most young Spaniards have moved for economic reasons, they also have personal and emotional motivations. The article explores factors that mediated their well-being experiences in the destination setting, such as the role of social networks and the achievement of their aspirations. Aspirations were not only material, in the form of a steady and higher income, but also factors such as language improvement, reuniting with a partner or friend, and being independent from their family. The findings of the paper contribute new insights into the factors that condition the relationship between migration and psychosocial well-being during the transition of young people to adulthood.

“治愈年轻的心”：

摘要本文基于对伦敦地区20-35岁的西班牙裔年轻人的20次深度访谈，从心理社会福祉的角度探讨了移民，适应和年轻人与成人之间的过渡过程。尽管大多数年轻的西班牙人出于经济原因迁居，但他们也有个人和情感动机。本文探讨了在目的地环境中调节其幸福感的因素，例如社交网络的作用和其愿望的实现。志向不仅是稳定的，高收入的形式，而且是诸如语言提高，与伴侣或朋友团聚以及独立于家庭等因素。
