Giving the rapid changes in physical development, behaviour and relationships with others, preadolescents are at risk of developing emotional problems. It is important to address these problems not only from the perspective of preadolescents’ mental health, but also from a boarder perspective, investigating the impact of individual and social determinants of their positive emotions. Emotional health, a dimension of emotional well-being, is the ability to understand, accept and manage emotions, feelings for oneself and others. The paper aims to identify the impact of individual characteristics and social factors on emotional health of preadolescents. We conducted secondary data analysis on data from second wave of the International Survey of Children’s Well-Being (ISCWeB). Using a linear sequential multiple regression model, we investigate the impact of individual and social factors on the emotional health of preadolescents from 18 countries. Results show that preadolescents` emotional well-being is mainly determined by gender, age, presence of parents in the household, family and school climate. However, cultural and socio-economic determinants should not be ignored, due to significant differences registered at intergroup level regarding the emotional health of children.

考虑到身体发育，行为和与他人之间的关系的迅速变化，学龄前儿童有发展情感问题的风险。重要的是，不仅要从青少年的心理健康角度来解决这些问题，而且还要从寄宿生的角度来解决这些问题，调查个人和社会决定因素对其积极情绪的影响。情感健康是情感幸福感的一个维度，是一种理解，接受和管理自己和他人情感，感觉的能力。本文旨在确定个人特征和社会因素对青春期前儿童情绪健康的影响。我们对来自国际儿童福利调查（ISCWeB）第二波的数据进行了二次数据分析。使用线性顺序多元回归模型，我们调查了个人和社会因素对来自18个国家的学龄前儿童情绪健康的影响。结果表明，青春期前儿童的情绪幸福感主要取决于性别，年龄，家庭中父母的存在，家庭和学校的气候。但是，由于在小组之间关于儿童情绪健康的重大差异，文化和社会经济决定因素不容忽视。
