The article presents the results of theoretical and empirical investigations of manifestations of ethno-cultural characteristics in the structure of personal subjective well-being of the representatives of contacting ethnic groups. The study was done on proportionally selected samples of representatives of Russian and Armenian ethnic groups living in the city of Saratov (N=70, males and females; median age 25,5, SD =10,69) with application of the following psycho-diagnostic tools: «Types of ethnic identity» questionnaire (G.U. Soldatova, S.V. Ryzhova); «Scale of subjective well-being» (М.V. Sokolova); «Level of social frustration» techniques by L.I. Vasserman; Cultural values scale by G. Hofstede. We identified variability in manifestation of parameters of subjective well-being. Ethno-cultural characteristics of the group act as grounds for differentiation of variability. The applied aspect of the problem under study can be used in the development of the programs of psychological cooperation for optimization of personal psychological well-being.
