Description

Understanding Wellbeing in Daily Life: Key Predictors and Causal Mechanisms. Experiences of wellbeing - including positive emotions (hedonic wellbeing) and purpose/meaning (eudaimonic wellbeing) - are key to thriving communities and healthy, productive individuals. However, little is known about the underlying causal factors contributing to daily life changes in states of hedonic and eudaimonic wellbeing. This project will build a novel, comprehensive model that explains wellbeing fluctuations in daily life in the general population. Subjective, behavioral, and physiological measures are included, with big data methods to identify important predictors and test for causal associations with wellbeing. Findings will enhance our understanding of the mechanisms contributing to variation in wellbeing in daily life.. Scheme: ARC Future Fellowships. Field: 5205 - Social and Personality Psychology.
