Psychological Wellbeing: Asystematic Literature Review

Abstract

Psychological well-being is a multifaceted and multi-dimensional construct that encompasses an individual's overall happiness, satisfaction with life, and mental and emotional health. It includes key components such as positive emotions, autonomy, positive relationships, low levels of negative emotions, purpose in life, life satisfaction, and personal growth. The definitions of psychological well-being have been debated among researchers, with the World Health Organization defining it as a state of mind where an individual is able to develop their potential, work productively, and cope with normal stresses of life. Psychological well-being is considered crucial for comprehensive health and happiness and has been linked to improved mental health, better physical health, and longer life expectancy. This study attempts to gain theoretical knowledge about psychological wellbeing and knowledge of the various studies conducted in the area of psychological wellbeing.
