Description

In a community sample of 301 participants, association analyses between authenticity and psychological and subjective well-being show strong and moderate associations, respectively, with implications for humanistic theory and counselling. The results also show convergence between self-reports and informants' reports on life satisfaction and authenticity, providing novel scientific contributions.
