The Wellbeing Journal: Creative Activities to Inspire (Wellbeing Guides)

Product Information

Further work on this subject will be presented in forthcoming papers with extended use of these data. Together, these data provide support for a global well-being dimension and interchangeable use of terms happiness, subjective well-being, and psychological quality of life with the current sample and measures. The correlations between all well-being related measures are significant and range from moderate to strong. Taken together, the findings of this study provide support for a global well-being dimension and interchangeable use of terms happiness, subjective well-being, and psychological quality of life with the current sample and measures.

Insights demonstrate what may be masked when limiting to single dimensions, which can create a failure to identify levers for policy interventions. This brings measurement of well-being in policy contexts in line with approaches like GDP or national ageing indexes [ 7], which are composite indicators of many critical dimensions. We created the Wellbeing Journal because we wanted you to have everything you need in one place to support you from both an academic and wellbeing perspective. However, evidence suggests that positive affect is not a counterpart of negative affect and the correlation between them is merely moderate ( Argyle, 2001; Tellegen et al.Don’t forget there is an online version of the journal available on My LJMU if you would prefer to keep a digital journal. Well-being has been linked to success at professional, personal, and interpersonal levels, with those individuals high in well-being exhibiting greater productivity in the workplace, more effective learning, increased creativity, more prosocial behaviors, and positive relationships [ 10, 27, 37].

EGG was responsible for psychometric models and the original factor scoring approach, plus writing the supplementary explanations. and b, these individual measures can and should still covary broadly with any multidimensional measure of well-being, even if not useful for predicting all dimensions). Thus, the correlations could be higher if uniform wording was used for all scales and applied to a larger sample more representative of the general population. Our approach, using factor scoring, resolves this issue by means of standardization of the MPWB scores. Switzerland and Germany are second and third highest respectively, and show generally similar patterns to the Scandinavian countries (see Fig.Therefore, the overall approach offers greater value than assessing only negative features and inferring absence equates to opposite (positives), or that individual measures such as happiness can sufficiently represent a multidimensional construct like well-being. An assessment of the construct validity of Ryff’s scales of psychological well-being: method, mode, and measurement effects. The magical thing about this living document is in its capacity to be repurposed as either an academic or social journal. It will be important to analyze this in the near future, given recent reports that educational attainment in Portugal has increased considerably in recent years (though remains one of the lowest in OECD countries) [ 36]. Whereas the ten items are individual measures of 10 areas of well-being, had these been limited to a single domain only, the richness of the underlying patterns would have been lost, and the limitation of single item approaches amplified.
