Abstract: “Well-being” is a core research topic in the field of positive psychology, which is also a focal point of great interest in contemporary society. While a general consensus exists on the conceptions of Well-being, cultural norms and values significantly shape individuals’ perceptions and pursuits of well-being. For example, in collectivist cultures, Well-being is closely linked with community relationships and social harmony; while in individualistic cultures, well-being is more frequently associated with personal achievement and autonomy. Understanding these subtle differences between cultures is vital for developing effective strategies to enhance well-being. Future research should consider cultural factors thoroughly and conduct more detailed cross-cultural studies on well-being, aiming to design culturally effective interventions that respect and integrate different cultural perspectives on promoting well-being.
