The pursuit of pleasure and wellbeing has been a major area of interest for psychological
studies and public policy in recent years. This research paper makes use of Martin
Seligman’s PERMA model to investigate the complex relationship between life
satisfaction and wellbeing. Positive emotion, engagement, relationships, meaning, and
accomplishment are all included in the PERMA model, which offers a thorough framework
for comprehending how these aspects interact together to affect total life happiness.
The purpose of this study is to see the relationship between wellbeing and life satisfaction.
The current study is quantitative approach, adopting cross-sectional research design.
The sample comprised 183 individuals between the ages of 25 and 40 who were chosen
through convenience sampling from eight states in Northeast India, representing a
range of socioeconomic and geographic backgrounds. It has been discovered that
higher life satisfaction is closely correlated with positive feelings, meaningful activity
participation, quality relationships, a sense of purpose, and accomplishments. On the
other hand, negative emotions and loneliness are detrimental to life satisfaction. One
important variable was employment status; those in employment reported better levels
of success, purpose, engagement, and health than those without jobs. The results
indicate that specific interventions addressing these components can improve wellbeing
and result in a more meaningful life. All things considered, this study emphasizes the
significance of taking a multifaceted approach to wellbeing and provides insightful
information that can direct future studies and real-world applications in positive
psychology
