Psychological science has typically conceptualized a good life in terms of either hedonic or eudaimonic well-being. We propose that psychological richness is another, neglected aspect of what people consider a good life. Unlike happy or meaningful lives, psychologically rich lives are best characterized by a variety of interesting and perspective-changing experiences. We present empirical evidence that happiness, meaning, and psychological richness are related but distinct and desirable aspects of a good life, with unique causes and correlates. In doing so, we show that a nontrivial number of people around the world report they would choose a psychologically rich life at the expense of a happy or meaningful life, and that approximately a third say that undoing their life’s biggest regret would have made their lives psychologically richer. Furthermore, we propose that the predictors of a psychologically rich life are different from those of a happy life or a meaningful life, and report evidence suggesting that people leading psychologically rich lives tend to be more curious, think more holistically, and lean more politically liberal. Together, this work moves us beyond the dichotomy of hedonic versus eudaimonic well-being, and lays the foundation for the study of psychological richness as another dimension of a good life.

心理丰富的生活：超越幸福和意义。

心理科学通常将美好生活概念化为享乐或幸福的幸福。我们认为，心理丰富是人们认为美好生活的另一个被忽视的方面。与快乐或有意义的生活不同，心理丰富的生活最能体现出各种有趣和改变观点的经历。我们提供的经验证据表明，幸福、意义和心理丰富性是美好生活的相关但独特和理想的方面，具有独特的原因和相关性。在这样做的过程中，我们表明，世界各地有相当多的人报告说，他们会以牺牲幸福或有意义的生活为代价来选择心理丰富的生活，大约三分之一的人表示，消除他们一生中最大的遗憾会使他们的生活心理更丰富。此外，我们提出心理富裕生活的预测因素与幸福生活或有意义生活的预测因素不同，并报告有证据表明，过着心理富裕生活的人往往更好奇，更全面地思考，更倾向于政治自由. 总之，这项工作使我们超越了享乐与幸福幸福的二分法，并为研究心理丰富性作为美好生活的另一个维度奠定了基础。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2021 APA，保留所有权利）这项工作使我们超越了享乐与幸福幸福的二分法，并为研究心理丰富性作为美好生活的另一个维度奠定了基础。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2021 APA，保留所有权利）这项工作使我们超越了享乐与幸福幸福的二分法，并为研究心理丰富性作为美好生活的另一个维度奠定了基础。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2021 APA，保留所有权利）
