Abstract

Well-being is considered an important factor to support humans to function positively in the environment. Seligman’s PERMA explains the 5 dimensions that create well-being which are positive emotions, engagement, relationships, meaning, and accomplishment. This research involved 112 individuals aged 18-63 as respondents, using survey technique with the PERMA questionnaire; and the data analysis technique used was descriptive analysis. The result of this research points to high scores across all dimensions of PERMA well-being, with Engagement emerging as the highest rated dimension and Positive emotion as the lowest dimension. The highest correlation between Positive Emotion and Meaning becomes the basis of this research to suggest the development of strategies to improve wellbeing in adults. The limitiation of this research is minimal number of sample. This has an impact on the results of this research, which can only be used to describe the PERMA well-being of the respondents of this research. In addition, it is hoped that further research will not only examine the profile of the 5 dimensions of PERMA but also link to other factors that affect well-being such as physical and spiritual health, flow, gratitude, and happiness to obtain a more comprehensive analysis related to PERMA well-being.
