E19. Lay conceptualisations of wellbeing | Annalise Roache

SUPPORT THE SHOW: researchinghappy.locals.com  This week Matt chats with Annalise Roache, Co-President of the NZ Association of Positive Psychology and a PhD Candidate at AUT Auckland. We walk through Annalise’s PhD work, focused on Lay Perspectives of wellbeing - put simply - Annalise asked over 1000 New Zealanders what wellbeing means to them.  After an intense process of thematic analysis, Annalise constructed a model of two interwoven aspects of wellbeing, The Elements and The Golden threads, each working together yet unique and influential in their own right.  The elements are the core components of wellbeing, together forming a holistic picture of wellbeing. The golden threads are the unifying principles that bring the elements to life and which thwart and support wellbeing.
