Ryff's model of psychological well-being
Ryff's model of psychological well-being identifies six key components that contribute to a fulfilling life: self-acceptance, positive relationships, autonomy, environmental mastery, purpose in life, and personal growth. Each component reflects how individuals perceive themselves, interact with others, manage their environments, pursue meaningful goals, and continue developing as people. Together, these elements create a holistic view of well-being, suggesting that it's not just about happiness but also about living a balanced, purposeful, and engaged life. This framework helps understand what it means to thrive as an individual.
