Abstract
The literature that has investigated the association between wisdom and well-being has yielded conflicting results ranging from positive associations through zero to even negative associations. After defining and explaining the central constructs, the research will provide a review of this literature. While it seems intuitively right that wisdom should be positively associated with well-being, researchers have argued that the association depends on the type of definition and measurement of wisdom and well-being. For the purpose of this study a sample of 100 university students (50 males and 50 females) between the ages of 18-25 years were selected. Two scales namely- (i) Ryff’s Psychological Well Being (ii) The SAWS Inventory (Self-assessed Wisdom scale) were used. Regression analysis was done. The results indicated that Indian Perspective significantly predicts PWB and Wisdom. The current study aims at exploring Indian perspective as a prediator of wisdom and psychological well-being.
