The Hierarchical Structure of Well‐Being
Open accessAbstract
ABSTRACT Theories of hedonic, eudaimonic, and social well‐being provide 3 extensively studied models for explaining flourishing mental health. Few studies have examined whether these models can be integrated into a comprehensive structure of well‐being. The present study builds upon previous theoretical and empirical work to determine the complex relationships among these 3 models of well‐being. Confirmatory factor analysis techniques were used to test a series of models in order to (a) confirm the proposed latent structures of hedonic, eudaimonic, and social well‐being and (b) examine whether these models could be successfully integrated into a hierarchical structure of well‐being. In 2 large samples, results supported the proposed latent structures of hedonic, eudaimonic, and social well‐being and indicated that the various components of well‐being could be represented most parsimoniously with 3 oblique second‐order constructs of hedonic, eudaimonic, and social well‐being.

“increasing evidence suggests that the domains of subjective well-being, psychological well-being, and social well-being together represent positive mental health (Gallagher, Lopez, & Preacher, 2009; Keyes, 2005; Keyes & Annas, 2009; Keyes, Shmotkin, & Ryff, 2002).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
