Document Summary
Stipilative definition means everyone can define something in different ways. I may define wellbeing differently than someone else (we have our own stipulative definitions) Uli defines well being as so and so. Where as the textbook talks about well being as so and so. The general definiton and general udnerstadning of well being would be descriptive. Prototype is the starting point but its not the full construct. Also theres tradeoffs so how do you decide? it"s a good starting point but not the edn point. Another way is to list definitions or principles that have to do with well being . Another problem is there is not a deeper meaning to explain why something is on the list. Evaluation from the outside is using an objective criteria. Evaluation from the inside is using a subjective criteria. If ur well functioning than happy accoriding to this. Well being is maximizing pleasure and minimizing pain.
