An Empirical Examination Of A Well-Being Engine Model, Korey Jacob Connor
An Empirical Examination Of A Well-Being Engine Model, Korey Jacob Connor
Dissertations (1934 -)
Humanity has struggled to define the good life from, at very least, the beginning of recorded history. The last three decades have seen a major uptick in the amount of scholarly activities in this vein, with contemporary iterations falling under the auspices of well-being studies.

The sample consisted of 11 total participants, (women N = 9, men N = 2) who self-identified as racially ambiguous and of multiracial descent. Overall findings of the study suggest that experiences of racial …
