The psychological welfare from different perspectives.

To understand better the concept of psychological welfare can focus two different perspectives the hedónica and the eudaimónica.

Perspective hedónica of the subjective welfare.

From this point of view equates  the happiness with the welfare. That when we are happy? When we attain the pleasure and avoid the pain, but no referred to the physical component but to the achievement or no of put them or the results to which aspire and the report that it supposes us. That is to say, feel us valued by our merits.

This type of psychological welfare is more known like subjective and composes  of:

  • Vital satisfaction: what each one thinks on his own life.
  • Specific satisfaction: as they find  determinate important appearances pair the life of the subject (work, health, couple, family, friendships, economy…)
  • Positive affection: experience a lot of pleasant positive emotions.
  • Negative affection: experience few negative emotions displacenteras.

What for me is welfare, does not have reason be it for the neighbour.

Perspective eudaimónica and psychological welfare.

In this case, as it would say the afamado humanist Abraham Maslow, the psychological welfare centres  in the autorrealización and the development of the true individual potential. The psychological welfare achieves  when a person lives of agreement to his own self. That is to say, when the activities of his life are coherent to his personal values. In this case the components of the psychological welfare are:

  • Autonomy.
  • Personal growth.
  • Autoaceptación.
  • Positive relations.
  • Competition.
  • Vital purpose.

Common appearances to both perspectives: 

The happiness depends on the dimensions frequency and intensity. The people that experience more happiness are not those that do it of intense way but those that experience positive emotions more frequently in spite of being of way less intense.

The people are able to adapt us to the situations of the surroundings (already was in positive or negative) but return to our basic line of psychological welfare or happiness.

The positive emotions have effects on the physical health, the system imnológico sees  increased thanks to them by what form part of our defensive barrier against illnesses. Besides, the positive emotions provide information that reinforces  of pleasant form by what influences directly in our behaviour and internal state.
