Art-of-Living: Validation Studies for Art-of-Living [In Chap. 1 we introduced our concept art-of-living. Then we developed a questionnaire measuring art-of-living. Now we want to validate art-of-living demonstrating meaningful relationships with various constructs. We start with the relationship to well-being and flourishing which are viewed as criteria. Well-being (SWLS, AHI, SHS) and art-of-living correlate with .59, .72, .62 respectively. Then we study the relationships with personality. We want to show that there are meaningful correlations but that art-of-living can predict well-being much better than personality alone. Then we investigate the relationships with related constructs: wisdom, resilience, self-regulation and sense of coherence. Furthermore, we examine the relationships with emotional intelligence, mindfulness and anxiety. In a similar manner we study relationships between art-of-living and constructs of positive psychology, namely strength and virtues and orientations to happiness (OTH). Whereas these validation studies deal with other constructs, in the next part two other studies deal with different methods of measurement of art-of-living. One way to measure art-of-living is using a situational judgement test (SJT) which tries to measure more behavior related and referring to concrete situations. The other way to measure art-of-living is using peer judgements.

Abstract

[In Chap. 1 we introduced our concept art-of-living. Then we developed a questionnaire measuring art-of-living. Now we want to validate art-of-living demonstrating meaningful relationships with various constructs. We start with the relationship to well-being and flourishing which are viewed as criteria. Well-being (SWLS, AHI, SHS) and art-of-living correlate with .59, .72, .62 respectively. Then we study the relationships with personality. We want to show that there are meaningful correlations but that art-of-living can predict well-being much better than personality alone. Then we investigate the relationships with related constructs: wisdom, resilience, self-regulation and sense of coherence. Furthermore, we examine the relationships with emotional intelligence, mindfulness and anxiety. In a similar manner we study relationships between art-of-living and constructs of positive psychology, namely strength and virtues and orientations to happiness (OTH). Whereas these validation studies deal with other constructs, in the next part two other studies deal with different methods of measurement of art-of-living. One way to measure art-of-living is using a situational judgement test (SJT) which tries to measure more behavior related and referring to concrete situations. The other way to measure art-of-living is using peer judgements. The final validation studies explicitly art-of-living in the working context.]
