• Pleasant life is positively related only to hedonic well-being – directly and through extrinsic life-goals
• Engaged life is directly positively related only to eudaimonic well-being
• Meaningfull life is positively related to both hedonic and eudaimonic well-being, and postively to eudaimonic well-being through intrinsic life-goals
![Page 20: Approaches to happiness, life goals and well-being Majda Rijavec – University of Zagreb, Croatia Ingrid Brdar – University of Rijeka, Croatia Dubravka](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081414/5513fe3a550346d8488b479c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Conclusions
• Different approaches to happiness are related to different types of well-being
• This relationship is to a certain extent mediated by different kinds of life goals
![Page 21: Approaches to happiness, life goals and well-being Majda Rijavec – University of Zagreb, Croatia Ingrid Brdar – University of Rijeka, Croatia Dubravka](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081414/5513fe3a550346d8488b479c/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
And that would be all, I guess!
