Well-being hedonic conceptions of well-being eudaimonic conceptions of well-being

HEDONIC APPROACH EUDAIMONIC APPROACH creating high levels of happiness finding and fostering positive emotionality Kahnemann, Diener & Schwartz, 1999. EUDAIMONIC APPROACH expanding potentials cultivating personal growth Ryan & Deci, 2001.

Hedonic approach

Eudaimonic approach

Well-being subjective well-being – hedonic aspects psychological well-being – eudaimonic aspects

Precursors of well-being Approaches to happiness Life goals

Approaches to happiness Seligman, 2002 Pleasant life Engaged life Meaningfull life

Pleasant life consists of having as many pleasures as possible and skills to amplify the pleasures

Engaged life comes through deep engagement, using one's strengths and virtues in activities that one finds challenging and rewarding

Meaningfull life consists of using one's strengths in the service of something that one believes is larger than oneself

Types of life goals Extrinsic Intrinsic physical attractiveness financial success physical attractiveness social fame/popularity emotional intimacy community service personal growth

Intrinsic and extrinsic life goals Kasser & Ryan, 1993, 1996, 2001 intrinsic goals are associated with enhanced well-being extrinsic goals do not enhance and often detracts from well-being

Aim To examine the relationship between approaches to happiness intrinsic and extrinsic life goals hedonic and eudaimonic well-being

Eudaimonic well- being Hypotheses Pleasant life Extrinsic goals Hedonic well being Engaged life Eudaimonic well- being Intrinsic goals Meaningfull life

Instruments Ways of life questionnaire (Peterson, Park & Seligman, 2005) Aspiration Index (Kasser & Ryan, 1996) The Satisfaction With Life Scale (Diener, 1985) The Scales of Psychological Well-Being (Ryff, 1989)

Participants 776 students 286 males and 490 females aged from 15 to 20 years

Pleasant life is positively related only to hedonic well-being – directly and through extrinsic life-goals Engaged life is directly positively related only to eudaimonic well-being Meaningfull life is positively related to both hedonic and eudaimonic well-being, and postively to eudaimonic well-being through intrinsic life-goals

Conclusions Different approaches to happiness are related to different types of well-being This relationship is to a certain extent mediated by different kinds of life goals

And that would be all, I guess!
