# Eudaimonia and Well-being

## 매 한 줄
> **"매 hedonic (pleasure) 의 X — 매 flourishing"**. Aristotle 매 ethos. Ryff 6-factor, Seligman PERMA, Self-Determination Theory (SDT). 매 modern: 매 work, education, AI design 의 적용. 매 hedonic ≠ eudaimonic — 매 sustainable well-being.

## 매 핵심

### 매 hedonic vs eudaimonic
- **Hedonic**: 매 pleasure, life satisfaction.
- **Eudaimonic**: 매 meaning, growth, virtue.
- **Aristotle**: 매 living virtuously.

### 매 framework
- **Ryff PWB (1989)**: 매 6 factors:
  1. Autonomy
  2. Environmental mastery
  3. Personal growth
  4. Positive relations
  5. Purpose in life
  6. Self-acceptance
- **PERMA (Seligman)**: P-ositive emotion, E-ngagement, R-elationships, M-eaning, A-chievement.
- **SDT (Deci & Ryan)**: 매 autonomy, competence, relatedness.
- **Flourishing scale (Diener)**.

### 매 응용
1. **Therapy**: 매 positive psychology.
2. **Coaching**: 매 strengths-based.
3. **Workplace**: 매 meaningful work.
4. **Education**: 매 character + growth.
5. **AI design**: 매 long-term well-being > engagement metric.

### 매 measurement
- **PWB scale** (42-item).
- **Flourishing scale** (8-item).
- **WEMWBS** (Warwick-Edinburgh).
- **Subjective Well-being** (Diener SWLS).

## 💻 패턴

### PERMA self-assessment
```python
def perma_score(responses):
    """매 5 dimensions × 3 items × 0-10 scale."""
    return {
        'P': mean(responses.positive_emotion),
        'E': mean(responses.engagement),
        'R': mean(responses.relationships),
        'M': mean(responses.meaning),
        'A': mean(responses.achievement),
        'overall': mean([mean(getattr(responses, d)) for d in ['positive_emotion','engagement','relationships','meaning','achievement']]),
    }
```

### SDT needs check
```python
def sdt_needs_check(responses):
    needs = {
        'autonomy': mean(responses.autonomy_items),  # 매 0-7
        'competence': mean(responses.competence_items),
        'relatedness': mean(responses.relatedness_items),
    }
    # 매 < 4 = thwarted, > 5 = supported
    return {k: ('thwarted' if v < 4 else 'supported' if v > 5 else 'mixed') for k, v in needs.items()}
```

### Daily reflection journal
```python
def reflection_prompts():
    return [
        "What gave you a sense of purpose today?",
        "When did you feel most engaged?",
        "Who did you connect with meaningfully?",
        "What did you learn or grow in?",
        "What strength did you use?",
    ]
```

### Strengths-based intervention (VIA)
```python
VIA_STRENGTHS = ['curiosity', 'love_of_learning', 'judgment', 'creativity', 'perspective',
                  'bravery', 'persistence', 'integrity', 'vitality',
                  'love', 'kindness', 'social_intelligence',
                  'teamwork', 'fairness', 'leadership',
                  'forgiveness', 'humility', 'prudence', 'self_regulation',
                  'awe', 'gratitude', 'hope', 'humor', 'spirituality']

def use_signature_strength(top_strength):
    return {
        'curiosity': 'Explore something unfamiliar today',
        'gratitude': 'Write 3 things you are grateful for',
        'kindness': 'Do an unexpected kind act',
        # ...
    }.get(top_strength)
```

### Meaning-making (logotherapy)
```python
def meaning_pathways():
    """매 Frankl. 매 3 ways."""
    return {
        'creative': 'creating a work or doing a deed',
        'experiential': 'experiencing something or someone (love, beauty)',
        'attitudinal': 'attitude toward unavoidable suffering',
    }
```

### Hedonic adaptation breaker
```python
def break_adaptation(routine):
    """매 hedonic treadmill 의 변화."""
    return {
        'novelty': pick_new_path(routine),
        'savor': prolong_simple_pleasure(),
        'gratitude': appreciate_existing(),
        'social': share_experience(),
    }
```

### AI well-being-aligned design
```python
def well_being_score(user_session):
    """매 not engagement-only. 매 long-term well-being."""
    return {
        'time_well_spent': user_session.purposeful_minutes,
        'meaningful_connection': user_session.deep_chat_minutes,
        'rumination_avoided': 1 - user_session.doomscroll_minutes / user_session.total_minutes,
        'reported_satisfaction_post': user_session.exit_survey,
    }
```

### Workplace well-being
```python
WORKPLACE_DRIVERS = {
    'meaning': 'connect daily work to mission',
    'autonomy': 'decision authority within scope',
    'mastery': 'challenge slightly above skill',
    'relatedness': 'team rituals',
    'recognition': 'specific + timely',
}
```

### Eudaimonic vs hedonic balance
```python
def eudaimonic_hedonic_ratio(activities):
    eud = sum(a.duration for a in activities if a.type == 'meaning')
    hed = sum(a.duration for a in activities if a.type == 'pleasure')
    return eud / max(hed + eud, 1)  # 매 0.4-0.7 typical balance
```

### Therapeutic exercise (3 good things)
```python
def three_good_things_intervention(days=21):
    """매 Seligman evidence-based — 매 21d depression ↓."""
    return {
        'instruction': 'Write 3 good things at end of each day, with why each happened.',
        'duration_days': days,
        'expected_effect': 'depression_score_reduction',
    }
```

## 매 결정 기준
| 상황 | Approach |
|---|---|
| Therapy | PERMA + strengths |
| Coaching | SDT + meaning |
| Workplace | Meaning + autonomy |
| Education | Growth + connection |
| AI product | Time well spent metric |
| Self-development | VIA + reflection |

**기본값**: 매 multi-dimensional (PERMA / Ryff) + 매 SDT needs + 매 strengths use + 매 meaning > pleasure.
