This article reviews research and interventions that have grown up around a model of psychological well-being generated more than two decades ago to address neglected aspects of positive functioning such as purposeful engagement in life, realization of personal talents and capacities, and enlightened self-knowledge. The conceptual origins of this formulation are revisited and scientific products emerging from 6 thematic areas are examined: (1) how well-being changes across adult development and later life; (2) what are the personality correlates of well-being; (3) how well-being is linked with experiences in family life; (4) how well-being relates to work and other community activities; (5) what are the connections between well-being and health, including biological risk factors, and (6) via clinical and intervention studies, how psychological well-being can be promoted for ever-greater segments of society. Together, these topics illustrate flourishing interest across diverse scientific disciplines in understanding adults as striving, meaning-making, proactive organisms who are actively negotiating the challenges of life. A take-home message is that increasing evidence supports the health protective features of psychological well-being in reducing risk for disease and promoting length of life. A recurrent and increasingly important theme is resilience - the capacity to maintain or regain well-being in the face of adversity. Implications for future research and practice are considered.

Very interesting. Thank you for clarifying what psychological well-being is. This is the first time I've read such a phrase. It turns out that this is very important in modern life and difficult to achieve. We all, in one way or another, have some kind of psychological trauma from childhood, and if we do not work on this issue, then our traumas through our behavior can harm us and other people. This is not a joke. A great way to work out your childhood trauma is through online therapy on https://calmerry.com/ It's confidential but has mental health benefits. Working out is a direct path to psychological well-being.
