A proposed model of lifestyle balance
The concept of lifestyle balance seems to have widespread acceptance in the popular press. The notion that certain lifestyle configurations might lend to better health, higher levels of life satisfaction and general well‐being is readily endorsed. However, the concept has not been given significant attention in the social and behavioral sciences literature and, as a result, lacks empirical support, and an agreed upon definition. This article pres…
Adolf Meyer Revisited
Adolf Meyer, whose theory of psychobiology represented one of the most insightful and important approaches to understanding mental illness in the early 20th century, insisted that humans could be understood best through consideration of their activities as experienced on a daily basis and over the life course. During Meyer's era, changes were occurring at an unprecedented pace including increased cultural diversity, social upheavals and technolog…
Lifestyle Balance
The perceived stress of time‐pressures related to modern life in Western nations has heightened public interest in how lifestyles can be balanced. Conditions of apparent imbalance, such as workaholism, burnout, insomnia, obesity and circadian desynchronosis, are ubiquitous and have been linked to adverse health consequences. Despite this, little research has been devoted to the study of healthy lifestyle patterns. This paper traces the concept of…
Identity, personal projects and happiness
This study reviewed archival data from 120 adults ages 19–79 in order to explore the identity‐related dimensions of their personal projects. Influenced by recent findings in action psychology that suggest a key link between the identity dimensions of projects, and both meaning and happiness or subjective‐well being (SWB), it was hypothesized that project ratings on various dimensions would show the central influence of self‐identity within projec…
Defining Lives
This article presents a view of occupation as the principal means through which people develop and express their personal identities. Based on a review of theory and research, it proposes that identity is instrumental to social life because it provides a context for deriving meaning from daily experiences and interpreting lives over time. The article proposes that identity also provides a framework for goal-setting and motivation. It is asserted …
Classification and study in occupation a review and discussion of taxonomies
This paper identifies classification, or the building of taxonomies, as a fundamental step in the development of knowledge. The history and purposes of taxonomies are briefly reviewed, and extant taxonomies relevant to the study of occupation are examined. These classification systems are found in the psychological, sociological, and vocational literature, and address motivation, meaning, the structure and organization of intentional behaviour, p…
