摘要:Ryan and Deci describe well-being as “a complex construct that concerns optimal experience and functioning.Current research on wellbeing has been derived from two general perspectives: the hedonic approach,which focuses on happiness and defines well-being in terms of pleasure attainment and pain avoidance;and the eudaimonic approach,which focuses on meaning and self-realization and defines well-being in terms of the degree to which a person is fully functioning” (Ryan,Deci,2001,p.141).Thus,the topics in the special issue focus on the concept of well-being and its relationship to the underlying themes of optimal human functioning at the individual,group and institutional level.
