Ryff's Psychological Well-Being
Captions available
The idea
Carol Ryff's model of psychological well-being has six dimensions: self-acceptance, positive relations, autonomy, environmental mastery, purpose in life and personal growth.
In practice
A midlife adult high in purpose and growth but lower in environmental mastery during a hectic caregiving year.
Where people slip
Life satisfaction is fairly stable across adulthood because priorities adapt to circumstances.
