Эвдемоническая и гедоническая ориентации: связи с индикаторами психологического благополучияEudaimonic and Hedonic Orientations: Relations with Well-Being Experiences and Outcomes

This dissertation investigates the relationships between eudaimonic and hedonic (pleasure/comfort) orientations and their links to well-being experiences and outcomes. Employing the Hedonic, Eudaimonic, and Extrinsic Motives for Activities (HEEMA) framework, the research presents three interconnected studies to provide a comprehensive analysis. The first study is an international meta-analysis across 22 countries in 16 languages (N = 61,199) that synthesizes evidence on how well-being orientations relate to 23 well-being experiences and outcomes, involving 102 meta-analyses and exploring 18 moderators (e.g., country-level, methodological, sample-level). Results show that eudaimonic orientation has the strongest and most consistent positive associations with well-being experiences and outcomes, while hedonic orientations also serve as distinct and complementary pathways. The second study establishes the cross-cultural validity of hedonic and eudaimonic orientations using the Hedonic and Eudaimonic Motives for Activities-Revised (HEMA-R) scale across six diverse WEIRD and non-WEIRD countries, as well as across gender and age groups, supporting its global applicability. The third study tests a novel theoretical model integrating the HEEMA and the Eudaimonic Activity Model (EAM) framework. It finds that psychological flexibility is a key mechanism that helps translate eudaimonic orientation into need satisfaction, and subsequently, greater meaning in life and life satisfaction. Collectively, this dissertation provides foundational empirical evidence, cross-cultural validation, and a practical theoretical model for understanding the pathways to a good life.
