In recent years, many socio-economic and political factors have caused an increased psycho-emotional stress in society. Determining the impact of psychological factors on health and longevity will contribute to the improvement of a person’s subjective well-being and the efficiency of his/her life. The aim of the study is to identify the impact of psychological factors on the quality of life of young higher school teachers. The research was conducted using standardized, reliable and valid psychometric tools. Descriptive statistics and linear regression analysis were used in the course of processing the results. The study established that the young higher school teachers have high indicators of physical (?=50.84±0.97) and psychological health (?=42.38±1.06). A relationship between quality of life and self-regulation (r=0.886, p?0.001), assertiveness (r=0.684, p?0.001), stress resistance (r=0.689, p?0.001) was found. Regression analysis revealed that self-regulation has the greatest impact on physical (?=1.94±0.18) and psychological health (?=2.06±0.14). The significant role of self-regulation, assertiveness and stress resistance as psychological factors in optimizing health and longevity was established. Teachers with high quality of life are self-confident, determined and persistent, capable of self-control, emotionally resistant to negative influences. The obtained results can be used for the purpose of creating a psychological training programme for the development of self-regulation, assertiveness, and stress resistance.
