Scope (activities): The project aims to bring out the relationships between functional values, belief in a just world and well-being (subjective well-being and psychological well-being).
Objective: To examine the relationships between functional values, general and personal belief in a just world, and subjective and psychological well-being.
Results: Based on a quantitative study (N= 458), significant differences in socialization patterns are found. In particular, youth and men demonstrate higher personal goal orientation and tolerance for injustice, which is a prerequisite for more successful coping with life challenges through investment in individual goals. Older persons and women are more sensitive to injustice and value social relationships, development and normative values more highly, which is a prerequisite for a more positive interpretation of life events.
Application: The results present that well-being or optimal functioning of the personality expressed in finding meaning and achieving goals, developing competence and positive relationships are determined by the main goals in life related to development, with a better understanding and mastering of the physical and social environment, with the creation and maintenance of supportive interpersonal relationships.
