Theoretical research methods are applied: analysis, systematization, comparison and generalization, interpretation of modern theoretical and empirical research in Ukrainian and foreign psychology. Results. The article carried out a theoretical and methodological analysis of research on the problem of the subjective well-being of a personality, which showed that scientists considered this concept in the context of hedonistic, eudemonistic approaches, basing well-being on the basis of positive, resource-based functioning of the personality. It was found out that as they delved into the content aspects of the personality's well-being through the different contexts of the subject's existence and activity, researchers began to single out various constructs in the characteristics of well-being, which were described in detail within the concepts of quality of life, axiological and subject-activity approaches. Conclusions. Subjective well-being is a multifaceted integrative phenomenon that reflects the individual's satisfaction from their optimal self-realization according to their value systems in various life areas and life in general.
