几个世纪的哲学辩论和几十年的实证研究都试图描述心理健康的含义。需要一个统一的概念框架来组织这些不同的观点，以促进福祉科学领域内的明确沟通和累积科学。虽然已经提出了一些关于幸福的总体理论和测量模型，但它们通常强烈主张应该包括或排除哪些结构，以及幸福结构相互关联的方式和程度。因此，这些模型往往没有被广泛采用的组织或沟通工具，由于他们排除特定的理论观点或分歧的研究人员对幸福的实证结构。虽然该领域继续努力解决这些问题，但它将受益于一个统一的概念框架，该框架范围广泛，可以灵活地容纳不同的理论观点和新的经验进展。在本文中，我讨论了一个统一的幸福概念框架的好处，以及在其建设的挑战。具体来说，我回顾的优势和局限性公园等人。的“情感幸福”的建议框架，并提出了一个替代框架的“心理社会幸福”，包括各种各样的结构已被提出作为积极的心理方面的幸福。
Centuries of philosophical debate and decades of empirical research have sought to characterize what it means to be psychologically well. A unifying conceptual framework to organize these diverse perspectives is needed to facilitate clear communication and cumulative science within the field of well-being science. Although a handful of overarching theoretical and measurement models of well-being have been proposed, they typically make strong claims about which constructs should be included or excluded as well as the manner and degree to which well-being constructs are related to one another. Thus, these models are often not widely adopted as organizational or communicative tools, due to their exclusion of particular theoretical perspectives or disagreement among researchers about the empirical structure of well-being. While the field continues to grapple with these issues, it would benefit from a unifying conceptual framework that is broad in scope and that can flexibly accommodate diverse theoretical perspectives and new empirical advances. In this paper, I discuss the benefits of a unifying conceptual framework for well-being, as well as the challenges in its construction. Specifically, I review strengths and limitations of Park et al.’s proposed framework of “emotional well-being,” and suggest an alternative framework of “psychosocial well-being” that encompasses the diverse array of constructs that have been proposed as positive psychological aspects of well-being.
