Cultural Influences on Well-Being and Human Flourishing

The focus of this exam is on the cultural influences that affect well-being and human flourishing. It examines how cultural values, norms, and customs shape individual and collective experiences of happiness.

Understanding cultural influences is paramount for developing comprehensive positive psychology frameworks. Different cultures offer unique perspectives on well-being, demonstrating variation in social support dynamics and appreciation of happiness across societies.

Candidates will be asked to articulate the ways in which cultural contexts influence psychological constructs of well-being. There will be an emphasis on discussing empirical studies that highlight these differences.

This assessment will also encourage critical thinking about the application of culturally sensitive practices in promoting well-being across diverse populations.
