The current study aimed to assess the level of psychological well-being among a sample of orphaned students in some primary and middle schools in the city of Laghouat (fourth and fifth grade of primary school and first year of middle school). Additionally, it aimed to determine differences in psychological well-being based on some demographic variables (gender, type of orphanhood - paternal or maternal, educational level - fourth and fifth grade of primary school or first year of middle school). The study employed a descriptive approach and used the Psychological Well-being Scale for Children and Adolescents developed by Aqeel bin Al-Sassi (2013). The sample consisted of 42 orphaned children aged between 10 and 12 years. The study's results revealed a moderate level of psychological well-being among the research sample. Furthermore, differences in psychological well-being were found based on the type of orphanhood and the educational level of the research sample. However, there were no gender differences in the psychological well-being of the study sample.
