Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Well-being & Happiness as Constructs: Viewed as measurable psychological constructs, assessed through scientific methods.
  • Subjective Experience vs Objective Reality: Personal internal feelings versus observable external facts in happiness measurement.
  • First Person vs Third Person Methodology: Self-reports focus on personal feelings; observable behavior or biological data focus on external signs.

  • Measurement approaches differ between subjective (experiential) and objective (empirical) perspectives.
  • Balancing qualitative (holistic) and quantitative (analytical) methods is essential for comprehensive assessment.
  • Recognizing the difference between private knowledge (subjective experience) and manifest behavior (objective observation) is fundamental.
