Study Notes
Subjective Well-Being
- Subjective well-being refers to an individual's overall sense of happiness and satisfaction with their life
- Subjective well-being is a complex concept that can be viewed from different perspectives including hedonic and eudaimonic
- Hedonic paradigm emphasizes the pursuit of pleasure and avoidance of pain, focusing on maximizing positive emotions and minimizing negative emotions
- Eudaimonic paradigm emphasizes the pursuit of meaning and purpose in life, focusing on the realization of one's full potential
- Subjective well-being can be measured through a range of indicators, including life satisfaction, positive affect, and low levels of negative affectivity
- Subjective well-being is influenced by both bottom-up and top-down factors
- Bottom-up theory suggests that well-being is a result of accumulated positive experiences in life
- Top-down theory suggests that well-being is more related to one's general tendency to interpret experiences in a positive way
- Research suggests that personality factors contribute significantly to variations in happiness scores, accounting for approximately 52% of the total variation
- Subjective well-being is predicted by various factors such as positive self-esteem, perceived control, extroversion, optimism, positive social relationships, sense of meaning and purpose, and lower neuroticism
- Individuals with higher subjective well-being report experiencing greater happiness and satisfaction across various domains of life, including marriage, friendships, employment, income, work performance, mental and psychological health
- Several factors positively correlate with happiness and life satisfaction including: high levels of gratitude, optimism, being employed, physical health, and frequency of experiencing positive affect
- While happiness and subjective well-being are significantly influenced by factors such as circumstances, personality, and intentional activity, the concept of eudaimonic well-being highlights the importance of meaning and purpose in achieving a fulfilling life
