What factors influence psychological well-being?
Health Education Health 100 Version 3 / Factors That Influence Psychological Well-Being
"Psychological well-being is influenced by early attachment, individual attributes, biological and genetic factors, social and economic circumstances, the wider environment, and personality. Separation, neglect, maltreatment, poverty, discrimination, conflict, limited education, and lack of services can increase psychological risk. Personality traits are partly innate, emerge early, and tend to remain relatively stable, although deliberate strategies can support change."
