| Summary or Abstract

In the past 50 years, clinical psychology has predominantly focused on the treatment of psychopathology. Although clinical psychology prospered under the medical model, it seems to have neglected an essential objective of the practice of psychology, which is to increase one's well-being. Consequently, clinical psychology offers much wisdom in fixing problems; however, it lacks knowledge of how people achieve positive feelings, contentment, and happiness. This dissertation reviewed the literature to explore these positive mental states called "Subjective Well-being (SWB)" by examining the various factors which influence SWB. These factors included demographic, personality, genetic, interpersonal, and cultural factors. Mechanisms of SWB were also investigated, in particular the way people maintain their SWB in the face of environmental adversity. In addition, the way in which psychologists help individuals enhance SWB and the future of psychology were discussed..
