Abstract: This study examined how adolescents and young adults perceive themselves, their personal characteristics, leisure habits, media usage habits, vitality, activity, belonging, happiness, self-esteem, determination, initiative and motivation, and belonging to a global and local community. Data from 537 adolescents and young adults aged 13-24 were collected in Israel in 2022. The findings revealed a connection between spending leisure time with friends and happiness. Two different clusters emerged from the study. The participants associated with cluster 1 were characterized by higher averages on all scales; a higher percentage of participants aged 18+ was found in cluster 1; participants in cluster 1 spent more hours with friends than did participants in cluster 2.
