| Abstract: |
Well-being encompasses several dimensions of individuals' lives, so promoting well-being beyond economic performance is crucial. This study proposed a theoretical model that highlights psychological flexibility as a key to well-being by helping people find meaning in life and achieve flourishing. The study evaluated 636 adults from Lima, Peru, and found a negligible direct relationship between psychological flexibility and emotional (hedonic), psychological (eudaimonic), and social well-being. However, psychological flexibility directly predicted meaning in life and flourishing, indirectly promoting well-being. In conclusion, meaning in life and flourishing mediate the relationship between meaning in life and well-being. The study emphasizes the importance of psychological flexibility and meaning in promoting well-being, suggesting that interventions targeting psychological flexibility may indirectly support individuals in developing a sense of purpose and fulfillment. Positive psychology interventions should incorporate strategies that promote both psychological flexibility and the search for meaning, as they are essential for well-being. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
