The Science of Well-being

from ResearchPod · host ResearchPod

Well-being is a well-established and growing field within psychology, and an increasingly popular area of study for psychology students. However,  it's also challenging to define: What does good well-being look like for any person, and what do we need to know to study it? A team of researchers, led by Dr William Tov of Singapore Management University, attempt to define well-being, not only to guide fellow researchers teaching it, but also for the general public.  They uncovered eight major findings from the field of subjective well-being, and were able to provide guidelines as to how universities can teach those findings in a psychology curriculum.
