![]() ![]() The main goal of the present study was to further evaluate the empirical distinction between hedonic and eudaimonic well-being using a large sample from South Korea. Yet, the weight of existing evidence, although admittedly limited, does suggest that the two concepts have differential relationships with external criteria (Huta, 2016 Joshanloo, 2019b). Not much is known about these concepts’ differential nomological networks. Although some philosophers have argued that life satisfaction can also be considered as a component of eudaimonia (see Feldman, 2008), empirical findings have consistently demonstrated that life satisfaction is a hedonistic component (for a review, see Joshanloo & Weijers, 2019). Moreover, factor analytic studies suggest that hedonic and eudaimonic well-being are related yet distinct factors (for reviews, see Joshanloo, 2019a). Hedonic and eudaimonic well-being are theoretically distinguishable and are based on different philosophical traditions (Delle Fave, 2014). Eudaimonic well-being is defined as the presence of personal and social skills and abilities (e.g., meaning in life, a sense of continued personal growth, and social contribution) that contribute to optimal psychosocial functioning (Ryff, 2018). Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 54, 1063–1070.Hedonic well-being is defined by pleasure or affective experience and is often operationalized as the presence of positive emotions and life satisfaction, and the absence of negative emotions (Diener, Lucas, & Oishi, 2018).
