Abstract in brief
- Wellbeing is a complex concept that involves both feeling good (pleasure and pain avoidance) and functioning well (meaning and self-realization).
- Research on wellbeing is primarily based on two perspectives: the hedonic approach (happiness and pleasure) and the eudaimonic approach (meaning and personal growth), which sometimes complement each other and sometimes differ.
- Advances in research methods, like multilevel modeling, are helping scientists explore new questions about how wellbeing varies across different cultures and over time.]
