Flourishing in nature: A review of the benefits of connecting with nature and its application as a wellbeing intervention (2015, background): “Eudaimonia has been described as the functioning well component of wellbeing (Keyes & Annas, 2009).”
Sources and motives for personal meaning in adulthood (2013, methodology): “Findings from previous studies supported this distinction (Keyes & Annas, 2009; Linley, Maltby, Wood, Osborne, & Hurling, 2009).”
Linking Peoples’ Pursuit of Eudaimonia and Hedonia with Characteristics of their Parents: Parenting Styles, Verbally Endorsed Values, and Role Modeling (2012, background): “One or both pursuits have been correlated with greater psychological well-being, lower mental illness, and greater physical health (Bauer and McAdams 2010; Chan 2009; Friedman et al. 2007; Huta and Ryan 2010; Joshanloo and Ghaedi 2009; Kafka and Kozma 2002; Keyes and Annas 2009; Keyes et al. 2002;”
Trauma-Informed Positive Education: Using Positive Psychology to Strengthen Vulnerable Students (2016, background): “The complete state of mental health (two-factor) model suggests that the reduction of mental illness and the promotion of complete mental health require two different types of interventions (Keyes and Annas 2009).”
An exploration of the well-being benefits of hedonic and eudaimonic behaviour (2013, background): “Whilst scientific investigations remain in their infancy, philosophers have long debated such issues (Keyes & Annas, 2009).”
An applied framework for Positive Education (2013, methodology): “Hedonism is a philosophical school of thought that focuses on feelings and experiences (Keyes & Annas, 2009), and is often associated with the maximisation of pleasure and the minimisation of pain (Ryan & Deci, 2001).”
Some key differences between a happy life and a meaningful life (2013, unknown): “These findings are also consistent with previous evidence provided by MacGregor and Little (1998). They showed that activities were regarded as more meaningful to the extent that the people felt they could be themselves (in colloquial phrase) while performing them.”
Eastern Conceptualizations of Happiness: Fundamental Differences with Western Views (2013, unknown): “The primary difference between the eudaimonic and hedonic conceptualization of well-being is that the former is premised on virtues, skills, and positive functioning, whereas the latter is premised on pleasure and positive feelings (Keyes and Annas 2009).”
Using wellbeing for public policy: Theory, measurement, and recommendations (2016, background): “Whereas hedonic wellbeing emphasizes the importance of feeling good, eudaemonic wellbeing is characterized by functioning well in multiple domains of life (Keyes & Annas, 2009; Ryan & Huta, 2009).”
Purpose, Mood, and Pleasure in Predicting Satisfaction Judgments (2012, background): “Although the distinction is still controversial (see Kashdan et al. 2008), many place subjective well-being (SWB) as a general category in the hedonic grouping ( Keyes and Annas 2009; Ryan and Huta 2009; Waterman 2007, 2008).”
Two traditions of happiness research, not two distinct types of happiness (2009, unknown): “…as do Delle Fave and Bassi (2009), and considering the intricate interplay of well-being variables at various levels of analysis, as do Keyes and Annas (2009) and Ryan and Huta (2009) provides the foundation for examining how meaning making, affective experience, and overall…”
Revisiting the Empirical Distinction Between Hedonic and Eudaimonic Aspects of Well-Being Using Exploratory Structural Equation Modeling (2016, background): “Eudaimonic models, on the other hand, regard optimal psycho-social functioning as the cornerstone of mental well-being (Keyes and Annas 2009).”
The Engine of Well-Being (2012, background): “Similarly, Keyes and Annas (2009) argue that focusing on SWB alone blurs the distinction between “feeling good” and “doing well,” and claim that it may be better for one to do well without necessarily feeling good rather than vice versa.”
Integrating the hedonic and eudaimonic perspectives to more comprehensively understand wellbeing and pathways to wellbeing (2012, background): “Keyes and Annas (2009) agreed that functioning was an important consideration, and whilst they admitted that feelings and functioning in life would often be consistent (i.e. overlapping), they cited evidence suggesting that they are not redundant, conceptually or empirically2 (Keyes, 2006; Keyes et…”
Nature connectedness: Associations with well-being and mindfulness (2011, methodology): “…then, our findings suggest that aspects of well-being which emphasize ‘‘feeling good’’ (i.e., emotional wellbeing) are less reliably related to nature connectedness than are aspects of well-being which emphasize ‘‘functioning well’’ (i.e., psychological and social well-being; Keyes & Annas, 2009).”
