There is no international consensus definition of 'wellbeing'. This has led to wellbeing being captured in many different ways.
To construct an inclusive, global operational definition of wellbeing.
The differences between wellbeing components and determinants and the terms used interchangeably with wellbeing, such as health, are considered from the perspective of a doctor. The philosophies underpinning wellbeing and modern wellbeing research theories are discussed in terms of their appropriateness in an inclusive definition.
An operational definition is proposed that is not limited to doctors, but universal, and inclusive: 'Wellbeing is a state of positive feelings and meeting full potential in the world. It can be measured subjectively and objectively, using a salutogenic approach'.
This operational definition allows the differentiation of wellbeing from terms such as quality of life and emphasises that in the face of global challenges people should still consider wellbeing as more than the absence of pathology.
目前，“幸福感”尚缺乏国际公认的定义，因此幸福感的表述存在诸多差异。
构建一个包容性的、全球性的幸福感操作定义。
从医生的角度出发，考虑幸福感的组成部分和决定因素，以及与幸福感相互替代的术语，如健康。根据其在包容性定义中的适宜性，讨论幸福感和现代幸福感研究理论的哲学基础。
提出了一个不限于医生的、普遍的、包容性的操作性定义：“幸福感是一种积极的感觉状态和在世界上充分发挥潜力的状态。它可以通过主观和客观的方式，使用健康促进方法进行测量。”
这个操作性定义允许将幸福感与生活质量等术语区分开来，并强调在全球挑战面前，人们仍然应该将幸福感视为不仅仅是没有病理学。
