Özet
A psychologically rich life is a new form of well-being and an alternative to eudaimonic and hedonic well-being. Psychological richness is associated with happiness and meaning, but it is a different concept with unique predictors and outcomes. Personality correlates of psychological richness are openness to experience, extraversion, and low neuroticism. Moreover, activities like taking trips, reading fiction, studying abroad, and social events are related to higher psychological richness. Additionally, psychological richness is related to higher cognitive complexity, such as the tendency to holistic thinking and attributional complexity. The ultimate end point of psychological richness is wisdom. The Psychologically Rich Life Questionnaire was developed to measure psychological richness, and it was adapted into Turkish. The psychologically rich life is a newly suggested way to reach a good life.
