Promoting and protecting mental health as flourishing: a complementary strategy for improving national mental health. (2007, background): “Although there is now evidence that the same model of mental health proposed here applies also to adolescents (Keyes, 2006a), much more research is needed to understand how mental health unfolds developmentally and over the lifespan, acting as protective (i.e., flourishing) and risk (i.e.,…”
An applied framework for Positive Education (2013, background): “…recognition that good mental and physical health consists of the presence of wellbeing in addition to the absence of pathology and illness (Keyes, 2006), and the emergence of the Positive Psychology movement has seen a significant redirection of scientific inquiry towards the exploration…”

Mental Illness and Mental Health: The Two Continua Model Across the Lifespan (2009, background): “The Mental Health Continuum—Short Form (MHC-SF; Keyes 2006; Keyes et al. 2008) consists of 14 items which correspond to our theoretical formulation of emotional, psychological, and social well-being.”

Flourishing: Achievement-related correlates of students’ well-being (2009, background): “Similar findings emerged concerning rates of conduct disorder and depression as a function of mental health category in a follow-up study with a national sample of 1234 youths aged 12 years through 18 years (Keyes, 2006).”
The Association Between Adolescent Life Satisfaction, Family Structure, Family Affluence and Gender Differences in Parent–Child Communication (2012, background): “Mental well-being, also known as positive mental health, can be separated into two streams, the eudaimonic stream, the way in which people function in life, and the hedonic stream, the way in which they perceive their life (Keyes 2006).”
Entrepreneurship and well-being: Past, present, and future (2019, background): “…well-being, defined as the overall internal state of mental wellness, which may include not only pleasure attainment and pain avoidance (hedonic and desirebased) but also emphasize vitality, meaning, and self-realization (eudaimonic) of mental wellness (Deci et al., 2001; Keyes, 2006; Ryff, 1989).2”
Longitudinal academic outcomes predicted by early adolescents’ subjective well-being, psychopathology, and mental health status yielded from a dual factor model (2011, background): “For instance, Keyes’ (2002, 2006) conceptualization uses indicators of positive functioning, including subjective well-being (SWB), to classify mental health from flourishing to languishing.”
