Abstract
Most studies in positive psychology focused on psychological factors and their impact on mental health based on Western models and quantitative approaches (Datu et al., 2018). Thus, there is a need to develop further the knowledge and application of concepts and theoretical models grounded in the lived experiences of the Filipino population. The present study utilized a grounded theory method to build a Filipino-based well-being model among university students. The BLOOMS Model of Well-being proposed that holistic well-being comprises five interconnected dimensions (Academic, Psycho-emotional, Physical, Social, and Spiritual). The study found that personal factors, social influences, and unexpected life events influenced well-being. Also, the study suggested that the following strategies enhanced well-being: building, leveraging, owning, opening, molding, and self-enhancing practices, leading to holistic growth. Data from this study can serve as a resource for further exploration of positive psychology and developing mental health policies and programs for university students.
基于西方模型和定量方法,大多数积极心理学研究都集中在心理因素及其对心理健康的影响上(Datu et al.,2018)。因此,有必要进一步发展基于菲律宾人民生活经历的概念和理论模型的知识和应用。本研究采用扎根理论方法建立了一个基于菲律宾的大学生幸福感模型。幸福的博客模型提出,整体幸福感包括五个相互关联的维度(学术、心理-情感、身体、社会和精神)。研究发现,个人因素、社会影响和意外的生活事件会影响幸福感。此外,该研究表明,以下策略可以提高幸福感:建立、利用、拥有、开放、塑造和自我提升实践,从而实现整体成长。这项研究的数据可以作为进一步探索积极心理学和制定大学生心理健康政策和计划的资源。
