Beskrivning
Human flourishing^—^the realization of a person's potential and well-being across physical, emotional, social, and intellectual domains of life^—^is a burgeoning area of study within the social sciences, especially psychology. However, the current research and measurement literature can be flawed because it relies heavily on psychometrics and may underrepresent cultural elements. This book identifies and analyzes the most prominent flourishing measures and examines their theoretical foundations, psychometric validation, and cultural sensitivity.Defining Human Flourishing outlines why psychological measurement has become so permissive, defines cultural validity, and presents a qualitative study of global concepts of flourishing. The first four chapters explore the challenges facing human flourishing research and their origins, while the final four chapters present a comprehensive theory of flourishing that is theoretically robust, empirically researchable beyond psychometrics, and culturally relevant. This theory integrates philosophical insights and advanced scientific methods, offering detailed guidance on research design and numerous hypotheses to foster a robust science of flourishing. With practical advice for researchers and organizations seeking to align their work with this new theory, this book is an excellent resource for students, practitioners, and researchers interested in human flourishing.
