Positive health: connecting well-being with biology. (2004, result): “Such findings converge with the work of Lindfors & Lundberg (2002) , who used the same measures of eudaimonic wellbeing in a mixed age sample of men and women and found that those with high well-being had significantly lower salivary cortisol output than those with low well-being.”
Best news yet on the six-factor model of well-being (2006, background): “Lindfors and Lundberg (2002) examined associations between overall PWB and numerous physiological indicators (blood pressure, catecholamines , and cortisol) assessed in a sample of adults (N = 26) on two separate workdays.”
Italian Version of the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-II (AAQ-II): Dimensionality, Reliability, Convergent and Criterion Validity (2013, methodology): “Previous research suggests that the PWB is a reliable and valid instrument to assess eudaimonic well-being (Lindfors and Lundberg 2002; Ryff 1989; Ryff and Keyes 1995).”
Goal Motives, Well-Being, and Physical Health: Happiness and Self-Realization as Psychological Resources Under Challenge (2006, unknown): “Research has thus started to study how optimal psychological functioning and experience (or well-being; Ryan & Deci, 2001) can contribute to physical health (e.g., Lindfors & Lundberg, 2002; Pettit, Kline, Gencoz, Gencoz, & Joiner, 2001).”
Emotional and Neurohumoral Responses to Dancing Tango Argentino: The Effects of Music and Partner (2009, background): “Likewise, studies indicate an association between positive psychological functioning and lowered cortisol release as a positive indicator of health (e.g., Lindfors & Lundberg, 2002).”
Goal Motives, Well-Being, and Physical Health: An Integrative Model (2008, methodology): “To date, assessments of self-realization have been multiple but several researchers have used Ryff’s Psychological Well-Being framework (PWB; Ryff, 1989; Ryff & Keyes, 1995) to operationalize it (e.g., Keyes, Shmotkin, & Ryff, 2002; Lindfors & Lundberg, 2002).”
