The primary objective of this research is to develop an integrative framework for distinguishing and classifying well-being variables. Towards this end, rigorous data-descriptive methods are used to examine the centrality of well-being variables and to explore the underlying dimensions along which these variables differ. The study uses 14 well-being variables as postulated in the tripartite model of mental well-being, including variables from 3 clusters of hedonic, psychological and social well-being. Samples from Korea, Canada, Iran and the USA are used. Centrality is conceptualized and examined under a latent variable framework. Multidimensional scaling is used to examine the underlying dimensions in the structure of well-being variables. Results show that self-acceptance, environmental mastery and purpose in life are the most central variables, whereas the most peripheral variables are autonomy, social actualization and social coherence. Multidimensional scaling uncovered 2 dimensions underlying the well-being variables: “hedonic versus eudaimonic” and “personal versus social”, facilitating a dimensional understanding of well-being. The results contribute to building a consensus in the field of well-being to advance knowledge while avoiding reductionism. The findings have implications for creating, refining and broadening well-being theories, clarifying some of the conceptual and empirical confusions in the field, selecting well-being variables for different research purposes, developing new well-being scales and constructing well-being interventions.

四个国家的 14 项心理健康指标的中心性和维度:开发一个综合框架来指导理论化和测量

本研究的主要目标是开发一个用于区分和分类幸福变量的综合框架。为此,使用严格的数据描述方法来检查幸福变量的中心性,并探索这些变量不同的潜在维度。该研究使用了心理幸福三方模型中假设的 14 个幸福变量,包括来自享乐、心理和社会幸福的 3 个集群的变量。使用来自韩国、加拿大、伊朗和美国的样品。中心性是在潜在变量框架下概念化和检查的。多维标度用于检查福利变量结构中的潜在维度。结果表明,自我接纳、环境掌控和生活目标是最核心的变量,而最外围的变量是自主性、社会实现和社会凝聚力。多维尺度揭示了幸福变量背后的两个维度:“享乐与幸福”和“个人与社会”,促进了对幸福的维度理解。结果有助于在福祉领域达成共识,以促进知识的发展,同时避免还原论。这些发现对创建、完善和拓宽幸福感理论、澄清该领域的一些概念和经验混淆、为不同研究目的选择幸福感变量、开发新的幸福感量表和构建幸福感干预措施具有重要意义。多维尺度揭示了幸福变量背后的两个维度:“享乐与幸福”和“个人与社会”,促进了对幸福的维度理解。结果有助于在福祉领域达成共识,以促进知识的发展,同时避免还原论。这些发现对创建、完善和拓宽幸福感理论、澄清该领域的一些概念和经验混淆、为不同研究目的选择幸福感变量、开发新的幸福感量表和构建幸福感干预措施具有重要意义。多维尺度揭示了幸福变量背后的两个维度:“享乐与幸福”和“个人与社会”,促进了对幸福的维度理解。结果有助于在福祉领域达成共识,以促进知识的发展,同时避免还原论。这些发现对创建、完善和拓宽幸福感理论、澄清该领域的一些概念和经验混淆、为不同研究目的选择幸福感变量、开发新的幸福感量表和构建幸福感干预措施具有重要意义。结果有助于在福祉领域达成共识,以促进知识的发展,同时避免还原论。这些发现对创建、完善和拓宽幸福感理论、澄清该领域的一些概念和经验混淆、为不同研究目的选择幸福感变量、开发新的幸福感量表和构建幸福感干预措施具有重要意义。结果有助于在福祉领域达成共识,以促进知识的发展,同时避免还原论。这些发现对创建、完善和拓宽幸福感理论、澄清该领域的一些概念和经验混淆、为不同研究目的选择幸福感变量、开发新的幸福感量表和构建幸福感干预措施具有重要意义。
