Question
Describe the reasons for happiness and well-being.
✓
Answer
Before we understand happiness and well-being, let us understand the objective and subjective criteria for happiness and well-being.
Our objective criteria for happiness and well-being include economic and social indicators such as income, age, occupation, job-position.
While subjective criteria for happiness and well-being include satisfaction with life, presence of constructive impulsive experiences, and low proportion of negative impulsive experiences.
Legislative psychologists try to understand happiness and well-being in terms of subjective criteria.
Because objective indicators describe a person's living facts such as income, age, occupation, etc.
But it is not possible to know what a person thinks about these criteria or indicators.
It should also be kept in mind that happiness and well-being are not considered separately by legislative psychologists.
They see individual well-being and happiness as synonymous.
