The study involved 105 young people (age of respondents 17 ± 0.51).

The study showed the existence of interrelationships of psychological well-being (indicators of subjective economic well-being, present and prospective future), perception of their personal competitiveness and dominant coping strategies and indicators of individual religiosity of students. Significant interrelations between the integral index of subjective economic well-being, revealing a generalized assessment of the present and future material life, and self-assessment of personal competitiveness, as well as with coping strategies "seeking social support", "solving problems" were revealed.
