The article presents the results of research titled “Health behaviour and welfare of young adults under comparative studies”, which was carried out thanks to financing by Ministry of Science and Higher Education in Poland. The project was run at the Institute of Psychology at the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan between 2011 and 2013 and concerned crucial factors, which affect making and maintaining important health behaviour (pro- and antihealthy) in early adulthood (18–35 years). One of the project`s objectives was to obtain comparative data in relation to health behavior research conducted at the Adam Mickiewicz University between 2003 and 2004. Another objective was to broaden the perspective of already existing analyzes and theoretical models with extra-subjective factors (family rituals, health behavior patterns in local society). This article focuses on comparative studies, but puts even more emphasis on health behavior of young people and welfare that goes along with it.

Artykuł dotyczy dwóch ważnych społecznie kategorii. Jedną z nich jest dobrostan młodych dorosłych, rozumiany tu jako stan będący wynikiem subiektywnej oceny pozytywnych i negatywnych konsekwencji podejmowania różnego typu zachowań istotnych dla zdrowia. Drugą jest sam sposób dbania o zdrowie w tej grupie wiekowej w każdej ze sfer: somatycznej, społecznej, psychologicznej i ekologicznej.

Culture has a substantial impact on mechanism of coping with stress and related health outcomes. We proposed a model emphasizing the mediating role of coping resources and competences in the relationship between controllability of demands in professional/educational life and health in the cross-cultural context. The model is based on the transactional model of stress. 595 participants from East Germany, West Germany and Poland completed: Sense of Coherence Scale SOC-9, Self-Esteem Scale, Social Support Scale, Generalized Self-Efficacy Scale, Proactive Coping Inventory, Scale of Demands in Professional Life, Brief Stress Scale, Satisfaction with Life Scale and Mental Health Questionnaire. The results have shown the general cross-cultural validity of the proposed mediational model but also indicated some cultural differences in the determinants of health. Germans had higher self-esteem and social support. Poles had higher selfefficacy and used proactive coping strategies more often. Self-esteem was the strongest predictor of mental health in both nations. We discussed the results within a broad interpretive framework of social transitions.
