ABSTRACT
Comparison Between Suggestive Well- Being VS Self-
Actualization
In the current research on Subjective happiness
versus Self-Actualization we reach out randomly to
16 individual women and 41 men from the
populationof Yonkers to conduct a survey on factors
of suggestive well-being. The current stance in the
literature recognizes the existence of two main
theories on happiness and they constitute two
schools of thoughts that are basically the hedonistic
approach (Richard M, Ryan and Edward L. Decl,
2001), which focuses on the epicurean concept of
happiness through the quest of pleasure and
avoidance of pain and the eudaimonic approach,
which views happiness in term of self-actualization,
meaning and well-being in term of functionalism.
In that study we focus on the illusion of suggestive
Well -being. Our objective in that study is to find out
the correlations that are indispensable to happiness
or to subjective well-being and at what extent the
incidence of the illusion of suggestive well-being
extends to different sub-groups. We investigate also
whether good income, great education, few College
credits or no- college credits predispose men and
women to fall in love often, at least once, never or
not sure. The empirical datasuggesteducation as the
main correlation predisposing women to fall in love
often at 75% and once at 25%. It means educated
women will know for sure whether they are in love
with someoneat100 % while women with few college
credits will be as sure but only at 87% and women
with no college education will be sure at 75 %.
