The Six Dimensions of Psychological Wellbeing
In Carol Ryff's model, each dimension represents a facet of psychological well-being:
1. Autonomy: Refers to the ability to regulate oneself and make independent choices, fostering a sense of control over one's life.
2. Environmental Mastery: Involves effectively managing one's surroundings and life circumstances, demonstrating competence in handling challenges.
3. Personal Growth: Encompasses the continuous development and expansion of one's potential, skills, and knowledge.
4. Positive Relations with Others: Focuses on forming and maintaining satisfying and supportive relationships, contributing to a sense of social connectedness.
5. Purpose in Life: Involves having clear goals, a sense of direction, and a feeling that one's life has meaning and purpose.
6. Self-Acceptance: Entails acknowledging and accepting oneself, including both strengths and weaknesses, leading to a positive self-image.
These dimensions collectively provide a holistic view of psychological well-being, emphasising the importance of various aspects in contributing to an individual's overall sense of fulfillment and happiness.

An evolutionary mismatch refers to a situation where modern conditions diverge from the environments in which human traits and behaviors evolved. This misalignment can lead to challenges or issues, as our biological adaptations may not be well-suited for the demands of contemporary life. Examples include sedentary lifestyles, processed diets, and the stressors of modern society, which can conflict with our evolutionary heritage.

ChatGPT: “FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt) typically refers to spreading misleading or exaggerated information to create negative perceptions. If information is true but presented in a way to induce fear or uncertainty, it might still be considered FUD-like behavior.”
However, IMHO truth trumps FUD. 🙂
