Defining and Measuring Emotional Well-Being: Current Challenges and Future Directions

Friday, May 27, 2022 · Chicago, IL

Oral · Methodology

Emotional well-being (EWB) is a commonly used term, yet it lacks a consensus definition that can be used across disciplines. In this symposium, we describe recent work conducted by scholars across NIH-funded networks (EWB: High-Priority Research Networks; U24-RFA-AT-20-003) to generate a definition and identify existing measures and correlates of EWB.
