CHARACTERISTICS OF EXPERIENCING THE SUBJECTIVE WELL-BEING BY ADULTS EXERCISING SPIRITUAL PRACTICES

Abstract

The article scrutinizes the actual problem of experiencing the subjective well-being and satisfaction with the quality of life by adults. The author empirically studies the peculiarities of the way adults experience the subjective well-being, the adults under study being engaged in techniques of personal and spiritual development. Besides, these results are compared with the control group of people who are not specifically engaged in self-development. The analysis showed that people specially engaged in techniques of personal and spiritual development experience the subjective well-being and satisfaction with the quality of life differently.
