Paper abstract bibtex This dissertation challenges the overly psychological conception of personal well-being. Using survey data from a random sample of adults, the study begins by demonstrating the reliability and validity of five scales measuring dimensions of social well-being. The study then introduces a contributive model of functioning, in which giving, as well as getting, promotes wellness. Controlling for formative familial experiences and fixed characteristics, analyses demonstrate that recent volunteering and community activism relate to higher levels of well-being. Nonrecursive models suggest that recent social involvement may cause social well-being. Explanatory mechanisms are proposed. In turn, social perception of the communalism (e.g., caring) and agency (e.g.,, assertiveness) of oneself and other people purportedly affect wellness. Adhering to a model of balance, perceiving oneself as more communal and more agentic relate to higher levels of well-being. However, perceiving other people as less agentic, but more communal, correspond with higher levels of well-being. Motivational explanations are invoked to explain how self-and-other perception relates to well-being. The final chapter proposes the concept of role repertoire to explain the relationship of multiple roles and well-being. After Steele (1988), the self is a general system designed to maintain its overall integrity. Multiple roles are tantamount to a repertoire of resources for defending the self. How positive people feel about, and how much they think other people value them in, their roles indicate the quality of the role repertoire as a resource. Roles are parsed into domains of social involvement (e.g., volunteer) and standard (e.g., parent) identities. Well-being increases as the size and positivity of the social involvement domain increase. The size and evaluation of the standard role domain do not consistently predict well-being. In sum, social involvement (behavior), social perception (thinking), and soci (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved)
