Title: | The Nature of Well-Being: The Roles of Hedonic and Eudaimonic Processes and Trait Emotional Intelligence | Contributor(s): | Bhullar, Navjot (author) ; Schutte, Nicola (author) ; Malouff, John M (author) | Publication Date: | 2013 | DOI: | 10.1080/00223980.2012.667016 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/12082 | Abstract: | The present study reconceptualized the role of hedonic (pleasure) and eudaimonic (engagement) functions as well-being processes and distinguished them from well-being outcomes. Well-being outcomes encompass life satisfaction, positive affect, psychological well-being, social well-being, subjective physical health, and absence of depression, anxiety, and stress. It was hypothesized that trait emotional intelligence (EI) would mediate the relationship between well-being processes and well-being outcomes. Participants (N = 370, mean age = 27.35 years, SD = 10.01) completed measures of hedonic and eudaimonic well-being processes, trait EI, and well-being outcome indices. Path analysis using structural equation modeling showed that trait EI fully mediated the relationship between hedonic and eudaimonic processes and well-being outcomes. Results demonstrated that engagement in meaningful activities as captured by hedonic and eudaimonic well-being processes may promote well-being outcomes. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | The Journal of Psychology, 147(1), p. 1-16 | Publisher: | Routledge | Place of Publication: | United States of America | ISSN: | 1940-1019 0022-3980 |
