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.

  • Measurement approaches differ between subjective (experiential) and objective (empirical) perspectives.
  • Balancing qualitative (holistic) and quantitative (analytical) methods is essential for comprehensive assessment.
