“…Compassion is regarded as a core factor contributing to well-being in several theoretical models (see Duarte, 2014). By definition, compassion refers to a concern for other's suffering and a desire to alleviate it (Goetz et al, 2010).…”

We investigated the associations of individual's compassion for others with his/her affective and cognitive well-being over a long-term follow-up. We used data from the prospective Young Finns Study (N=1312-1699) between 1997-2012. High compassion was related to higher indicators of affective well-being: higher positive affect (B=0.221, p<.001), lower negative affect (B=-0.358, p<.001), and total score of affective well-being (the relationship of positive versus negative affect) (B=0.345, p<.001). Moreover, high compassion was associated with higher indicators of cognitive well-being: higher social support (B=0.194, p<.001), life satisfaction (B=0.149, p<.001), subjective health (B=0.094, p<.001), optimism (B=0.307, p<.001), and total score of cognitive well-being (B=0.265, p<.001). Longitudinal analyses showed that high compassion predicted higher affective well-being over a 15-year follow-up (B=0.361, p<.001) and higher social support over a 10-year follow-up (B=0.230, p<.001). Finally, compassion was more likely to predict well-being (B=[-0.076; 0.090]) than vice versa, even though the predictive relationships were rather modest by magnitude.

“…Sheldon (2013) suggested that when individuals relate to behaviors or objectives they want to realize, they show more interest and passion, achieve more positive results compared to those objectives with stress and guilt and at the same time, these individuals have higher psychological well-being. In this sense, based on the information that life satisfaction is a concept related to psychological well-being in the literature (Duarte, 2014), it is possible to say that increased well-being of individuals who can live a life based on values and who are tightly connected with values will create a positive change on their satisfaction with their lives.…”

“…Accordingly, while some researchers use life satisfaction and well-being synonymously, some claim that these two concepts are different. However, most of the researchers tend to accept that life satisfaction is mostly based on well-being (Duarte, 2014). Accordingly, Diener (1984) who defined the concept of subjective well-being for the first time stated that subjective well-being consists of two dimensions, mainly affective well-being and life-satisfaction.…”

The purpose of this study was to analyze the moderating role of authentic behavior on valued living and life satisfaction. The study group consisted of a total of 328 university students (249 female, 79 male) between 18-32 years old. The average age of the students in the study group was 20.3 and the standard deviation was 1.65. Participants of the study were selected through convenient sampling methods (Fraenkel et al., 2011). The data of this study was obtained by applying the Valued Living Scale (Wilson &Groom, 2002), The Satisfaction with Life Scale (Diener et al.,1985) and the Authenticity Scale (Wood et al., 2008). Hierarchical regression analysis was applied to test the moderating effect of authentic behavior on the relationship between valued living and life satisfaction. SPSS 20 package program (IBM, 2011) was used in the data analysis step. In this study, two models were created with hierarchical regression analysis and these two models were tested. In the first model, the individual effect of valued living on life satisfaction and in the second model, the moderating role of authentic behavior on this relationship was analyzed. Based on the obtained results, it was determined that valued living has positive and significant relationships with life satisfaction; as well authentic behavior increased the predictive power of the relationship between valued living and life satisfaction and moderated this relationship in a positive significant direction. Obtained results were considered under related information in the literature and recommendations were provided for future studies.

“…Subsequently, personality variables, cognitive and behavioral coping strategies, coping self-efficacy, and social support and resources influence the resolution of the problem and recovery of life satisfaction (Lent, 2004). Several additional models of well-being exist; however, a discussion of each is outside the scope of this article; see Duarte (2014) for a comprehensive review.…”

Counseling psychologists are in a prime position to claim preeminence in the field of applied positive psychology. A number of misunderstandings or misconceptions of positive psychology seem to interfere, however, with the focus (or lack thereof) that has been placed upon training counseling psychologists to utilize and contribute to positive psychological scholarship and applications. In this article, the most commonly reported misconceptions are addressed, and foundational information regarding positive psychological constructs, theories, and processes most relevant to the applied work of counseling psychologists is reviewed. Counseling psychologists are encouraged to claim positive psychology as the logical extension of our humanistic roots and to consider how to both utilize and contribute to the growing body of positive psychological scholarship.
