Abstract

This study utilizes the Q methodology to understand the subjective perception of happiness and the characteristics of each type according to the WISE(What do you want?, Is it Possible?, Shall we try?, Enough of it!) coaching model. Based on the WISE coaching model, 183 initial statements were constructed to extract the Q sample statements. After reviewing two related professors and one Ph.D. student in psychology, 34 Q statements were finally secured. 63 adult men and women were then reviewed. As a result of analyzing the data collected through the QUANL Program by selecting people as P samples, the subjectivity of happiness was classified into four types. The first type is “Current Self-Satisfaction Happy Word,” which is a type of feeling of happiness based on self-centered needs. The second type is “futuristic self-centered happier,” which is basically based on self-centered needs, but the level of expectations for happiness is too high to feel satisfied with reality. The third type is “active value seeking happy language,” which is a type of pursuit of faith-based happiness by placing value on the purpose and meaning of life. The fourth type is “a passive idealist happy word,” which is a type in which you feel happy by leaning on your own philosophy or spiritual comfort even when you are not satisfied enough. This study has significance in that it attempted a new approach of the WISE coaching model as a psychological counseling technique by focusing on subjectivity and expanding the theory of happiness, which had a tendency to divide in a dichotomous manner.
