Sustainable Well-Being and the Harmony in Life Scale: Conceptualising, Defining and Measuring Well-Being

Project: Dissertation

Project Details

Description

This dissertation project investigates how to conceptualize, define and measure well-being; and in particular harmony in life. This involves both theoretical and empirical methods. An important part includes using statistical semantics in order to analyze the words that individuals use to describe different aspects of their well-being. Based on statistical semantics, we are currently developing "semantic measures" that can complement traditional rating scales.
