Abstract
Final report South Australia: Research Centre for Student Wellbeing and Prevention of Violence, Flinders University.
This is a report about the well-being of IB MYP students. Warren, Koen and Burrows (2011) have noted that well-being is a complex and multi-faceted concept. One approach to conceptualising well-being is to consider the two concepts of the “hedonic tradition”, with its emphasis on “happiness”, and overall “satisfaction with life” and the eudaimonic tradition, which typically highlights positive psychological functioning, including self-actualisation and life achievement. Generally defined, individuals can be said to possess a state of well-being when they have the psychological, social and physical resources they need to meet a particular psychological, social and/or physical challenge
