Abstract

Introduction: According to Indian psychology, anasakti (non-attachment) and ahamkara (ego) play a significant role in determining true happiness. Aims: To study the role of anasakti (non-attachment) and ahamkara (ego) on the level of well-being amongst Indian adults. Methods: For the current study, 240 educated, urban Indian adults (Females = 104, Males = 136) were surveyed to investigate the relationship of anasakti (non-attachment) and ahamkara (ego) with well-being variables. Results: Anasakti (“non-attachment”) was revealed to be a significant factor in ensuring life satisfaction and experiencing positive emotions. Although ahamkara (“ego”) contributed significantly toward higher cognitive well-being and affective states, it better predicted negative emotions. Conclusions: The current study’s findings may widen our understanding of “What makes people happy?” and may add to the global well-being literature.

古代智慧的实证研究:Anasakti(无执)和Ahamkara(自我)对印度人幸福感的影响

简介:根据印度心理学，anasakti(无依恋)和ahamkara(自我)在决定真正的幸福方面起着重要作用。目的:研究anasakti(无依恋)和ahamkara(自我)在印度成年人幸福水平上的作用。方法:本研究调查了240名受过教育的印度城市成年人(女性104人，男性136人)，探讨了anasakti(无依恋)和ahamkara(自我)与幸福变量的关系。结果:Anasakti(“无依恋”)是确保生活满意度和体验积极情绪的重要因素。虽然ahamkara(“自我”)对更高的认知幸福感和情感状态有显著贡献，但它更能预测负面情绪。结论:目前的研究结果可能会扩大我们对“什么让人快乐?”，并可能为全球福祉文献增添新的内容。
