The article examines the impact of the state language policy related to languages functioning and development on the psycho-emotional state of happiness of student youth representatives. An important parameter for measuring the correlation between language policy and the category of happiness is mono- and bilingualism. The majority of respondents feel a psycho-emotional feeling of happiness; they are completely happy or rather happy than unhappy. Dissatisfaction with the language policy is expressed insignificantly among monolingual (5.6%) and bilingual (3.18%) respondents. The study also determines the monolinguals and bilinguals’ awareness of the mutual influence between the categories of language policy and happiness. A significant part of students find it difficult to answer this question. Thus, a low degree of awareness by the respondents (50.8% of bilinguals, 33.3% of monolinguals) of the correlation between language policy and the category of happiness is established, due to the different nature of the compared objects, as well as the indirect nature of this relationship.

Keywords: language policy, category of happiness, monolingual, bilingual, student youth, correlation, sociolinguistic survey.
