Question:

According to Psychologists the understanding of Well Being includes-

Options:

Growth and fulfilment along with maintenance and survival

Maintenance and survival along with happiness and love

Happiness and love along with growth and fulfilment

Maintenance and happiness along with growth and fulfilment

Correct Answer:

Growth and fulfilment along with maintenance and survival

Explanation:

Well-being is not simply maintenance and survival but also includes growth and fulfilment, i.e. the actualisation of potential.

Psychologists generally view well-being as encompassing two broad aspects:

  1. Maintenance and survival: This refers to the basic needs and resources required for a person to function effectively in their daily life. It includes factors such as physical health, safety, security, and basic material needs.

  2. Growth and fulfillment: This refers to the pursuit of personal meaning, purpose, and potential in life. It includes factors such as positive emotions, self-acceptance, meaningful relationships, and personal growth.

While happiness and love can be important components of well-being, they are not the sole determinants. A person can experience happiness and love while still facing challenges in terms of their basic needs or their sense of purpose and fulfillment.

Therefore, a comprehensive understanding of well-being should encompass both maintenance and survival along with growth and fulfillment.
