Psychological Richness: A New Form of Well-being

  

  • Online:2022-10-01 Published:2022-10-24

Abstract:

A psychologically rich life, which can also be interpreted as a new form of well-being, includes a variety of interesting and perspective-changing experiences. At present, the psychologically rich life questionnaire, archival research method and experimental research method have been developed to measure it . The personality of openness to experience and short trips were the strong predictors of psychological richness. Furthermore, we compared the concept of psychologically rich life with happy and meaningful life. It was concluded that the three aspects of life are different in the emotional experience, the objective value of experience and outcomes which they contributed to. In our future studies we will continue to explore the similarities and differences between these three aspects of life, especially focusing on benefits such as wisdom and creativity that psychological richness may bring to individuals. Also, we invite other cross-cultural researchers to give their contribution in this relatively under-examined field, paying special attention to psychological richness in relation to Chinese culture.

Key words: psychological richness, happiness, meaning, well-being, wisdom
