Although physical health and well-being are related, this relationship is much weaker than might be expected (17). The association between subjective health and life satisfaction is somewhat stronger but still far from unitary. For example, in a study based on nationally representative samples from the 32 countries…

The basic conditions needed for well-being are observable at both the individual and the societal level. For well-being we need to let go of struggles, work in the service of others, and grow in awareness of our inseparable connection to one another and the world of which we are integral parts. Wherever there is a…

Psychological well-being (PWB) is a combination of self-acceptance, life purpose, personal growth, positive relationships, and autonomy, and has a significant relationship with physical and mental health. Previous studies using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and static picture stimuli have…

Well-being is a heterogeneous idea with inconsistent applicability to real-world circumstances. In this article, I explore A’uwẽ (Xavante) notions of social well-being from an ethnographic perspective. My data indicate many members of this Indigenous group understand wellness to involve not only health and harmony, but…

This article presents a phenomenological analysis of interview material, in which 12 care professionals in elderly care reflect on the elderly's well-being within the frame of special housing accommodation. The perspective of the care professionals is of special interest. The findings show that the well-being is…

The literature on well being measurement seems to suggest that "asking" for a self-evaluation is the only way to estimate a complete and reliable measure of well being. At the same time "not asking" is the only way to avoid biased evaluations due to self-reporting. Here we propose a method for estimating the welfare…

The psychological costs of the attention economy are often considered through the binary of harmful design and healthy use, with digital well-being chiefly characterised as a matter of personal responsibility. This article adopts an interdisciplinary approach to highlight the empirical, ideological, and political…

Wellbeing has emerged as a central, if not defining, feature of contemporary social life. Yet, despite its global significance spanning the political, social and economic spectrum, there is a remarkable lack of agreement regarding the conceptualization, definition or operationalisation of wellbeing nor any clear…

Wellbeing is commonly defined as the combination of feeling good and functioning well and typically conceptualized as two related but distinct components. Hedonic wellbeing emphasizes pleasure, happiness, and life satisfaction, while eudaimonic wellbeing focuses on meaning, personal growth, flourishing, and the…

The notion of wellbeing emerged in resistance to deficit characterizations of people's lives in mental health theory and intervention. It is an approach that rejects compartmentalization and stigmatization, with the aim of centering and presenting a more holistic view of personhood. Informed by a new program of…

The research aims to systematize the current scientific evidence on methodologies used to investigate the impact of indoor built environment on well-being, focusing on Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) variables such as thermal comfort, air quality, noise, and lighting. This systematic review adheres to the Joanna…

Whether hedonism or eudaimonism are two distinguishable forms of well-being is a topic of ongoing debate. To shed light on the relation between the two, large-scale available molecular genetic data were leveraged to gain more insight into the genetic architecture of the overlap between hedonic and eudaimonic…

Despite increasing recognition of mental health challenges in software engineering, few studies focus on the factors that sustain or undermine well-being. Existing research often overlooks the interaction between personal, collaborative, and organisational influences on this unique population. This study fills this gap…

Wearable electroencephalography (EEG) and electrocardiography (ECG) devices may offer a non-invasive, user-friendly, and cost-effective approach for assessing well-being (WB) in real-world settings. However, challenges remain in dealing with signal artifacts (such as environmental noise and movements) and identifying…

The article reviews the history of well-being to gauge how subjective question surveys can improve our understanding of well-being in Mexico. The research uses data at the level of the 32 federal entities or States, taking advantage of the heterogeneity in development indicator readings between and within geographical…

'Lawrence O. Gostin' 'Paul B. Tchounwou'] Human flourishing, the state of optimal functioning and well-being across all aspects of an individual’s life, has been a topic of philosophical and theological discussion for centuries. In the mid-20th century, social psychologists and health scientists began exploring the…

(1) Background. European social policies have traditionally focused on the material conditions and indicators of well-being and on the foundations of social justice characteristic of the welfare state paradigm. The system of social organisation that ensures a satisfactory standard of living through the provision of…

Resilience and well-being are strongly related. People with higher levels of well-being are more resilient after stressful life events or trauma and vice versa. Less is known about the underlying sources of overlap and causality between the constructs. In a sample of 11.304 twins and 2.572 siblings from the Netherlands…

This paper presents a semi-quantitative mathematical model of the changes over time in the statistical distribution of well-being of individuals in a society. The model predicts that when individuals overvalue the more socially conspicuous aspects of well-being in their lifestyle choices, then the average well-being of…

In this work, we define gratitude, paying attention to interpersonal gratitude and its relationship with dispositional debt. We examined the disposition to feel indebted through analysis of convergence and divergence, exploratory and confirmatory analysis of the most used measurement instrument. The Revised…

Conveying safety information to researchers is challenging. A list of rules and best practices often is not remembered thoroughly even by individuals who want to remember everything. Researchers in science thinking according to principles: mathematical, physical, and chemical laws; biological paradigms. They use…
