“…Relatively underdeveloped areas of study within well-being need to be expanded. These areas include: research on the beneficial effects of play and curiosity (Kashdan, 2009) and of connecting with the natural environment (Capaldi, Dopko, & Zelenski, 2014; Howell & Passmore, 2013); and the study of wisdom (Staudinger & Glück, 2011), the concept of “true self” (Schlegel, Hicks, Arndt, & King, 2009), and other-oriented hope (Howell & Larsen, 2015). The study of happiness and well-being in children and adolescents is also an important area within positive psychology to which more attention is required (Holder, 2012; Proctor & Linley, 2013), as is the application of positive psychology to substance use, addiction, and recovery research (Krentzman, 2013).…”

The scientific study of well-being has been strongly influenced by ideas from a number of related fields, including different areas of psychology. Two major philosophical traditions—hedonia and eudaimonia—underscore much of our current understanding of well-being, and are reflected across early and contemporary psychological theories of well-being. These traditions help delineate the various conceptualisations of well-being and its components; moreover, these traditions influence which research questions are asked, and where and how answers are sought. This has resulted in a plethora of categories and terms referring to similar, yet distinct, concepts such as: well-being, happiness, optimal or positive experiences, life satisfaction, and flourishing. Given the difficulties of distinguishing these concepts, this article aims to provide clarity by delineating the major orientations in positive psychology. We provide a “road-map” to theories and models of well-being found within positive psychology, thereby providing a starting a point from which an integrative framework of theories and models of well-being can be developed. To that end, also included in this review is a selection of well-being models that lie beyond the traditional frameworks. We conclude with a consideration of several criticisms that have been directed at positive psychology, and provide recommendations for future directions.

“…Moving forward, we suggest that SDT's above noted developmental conceptualization maintaining an inherent relationship between sensory openness and autonomy ought to be exploited as a new avenue of theoretical engagement with the foundational psychology of hope in its many forms throughout the life span (Carotta et al, 2017;Howell & Larsen, 2015;Knowles, 1986;Verbraak, 2000). As Knowles (1986) noted, hope is synonymous with perceptual openness and, more importantly, is not to be confused with what Ryan and Deci (2000c) have called "safety-security" (p. 324).…”

Self-determination theory (SDT) is a contemporary macrotheory of motivation, personality, and wellness that has accumulated a large empirical research base. Many of its basic principles are humanistic in character, but there is little literature on it from within the ranks of humanistic psychology. This article presents an overview of the theory designed specifically for a humanistic audience and considers SDT's potential as a contemporary variant of humanistic psychology. SDT's core concept of autonomy is compared with the humanistic notion of willing, which formally introduces paradox as a fundamental aspect of selfdevelopment. Paradox is then pursued as a theme that can be used to tap the humanistic potential of SDT. Subsequent analyses focus on various integrative strengths or virtues derived from Knowles's (1986) existential-phenomenological interpretation of Eriksonian (1963) developmental theory, certain optimal forms of experience, happiness, and wellbeing. We conclude with some exploratory remarks concerning motivation, personality, and the paradoxical bipolarity of human nature.
