Description
Summary:The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationships among family harmony, interdependent happiness, harmony in life, and flourishing. The participants consist of 390 university students and employees in Turkey. Participants’ ages range from 18 to 58 years. Data have been collected using the Family Harmony Scale, Interdependent Happiness Scale, Harmony in Life Scale, and Flourishing Scale. The relationships among the scales have been examined using a structural equation model and the bootstrap method. According to the results of the correlation analysis, there were significant positive relationships among family harmony, interdependent happiness, harmony in life, and flourishing. The structural equation model indicated that an increase in family harmony increases interdependent happiness and harmony in life, and an increase in interdependent happiness and harmony in life increases flourishing. The results of the bootstrap analysis confirm the significance of the standardized estimates. The study results reveal understanding family harmony to be able to enhance flourishing due to interdependent happiness and harmony in life. The results, implications, and limitations are discussed.
