Abstract
The article outlines the predicting effects of the self-congruence, attachment, stress, anxiety, depression, and happiness, on flourishing. The differentiation of social roles and life domains is included as a supposed pathway to flourishing and well-being promotion. 359 volunteers completed self-congruence, stress, anxiety and depression, relationships, happiness, differentiation and flourishing self-reporting scales and incomplete sentences on the daily way they differentiate their life domains and social roles as a form of preventive and proactive coping. In the hierarchical model, the accounted flourishing dispersion is 84% with predictors’ differentiation, happiness, low depression and relationships avoidance. In addition, the main effect of differentiation on both flourishing and all its predictors is reported. This leads to the conclusion on the importance of interventions to equip individuals with good differentiation abilities throughout life cycle.

Summary
The pressure to achieving success along with the dynamic social and economic changes during the last decades, transform the developmental path of young adults and the life-long developmental path in adulthood. Emerging adulthood lasts until 29 years of age; this period is necessitated by the numerous alternatives and choices young people have to explore prior to make their stable commitments. This exerts effect on the other age groups as well, and changes the perspective of construing the real and ideal selves. Our interest is twofold: 1) to study the relations among self-congruence, attachment, experienced stress, anxiety, depression, happiness, and flourishing; 2) to test the social roles and life domains differentiation as a suggested predictor of flourishing in a sample of emerging adults and adults. We consider differentiation adaptive self-reflection and specific proactive coping that can promote happiness and flourishing
