PERMA is a model of psychological well-being developed by Martin Seligman in 2011. The acronym stands for the five core elements of well-being: Positive Emotion, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, and Accomplishment.[1] The model was introduced in Seligman's book Flourish, and is now widely used in positive psychology interventions, organizational psychology, and development programs.[2][3][4]

Measurement

Julie Butler and Margaret Kern created the PERMA-Profiler as a measure of the PERMA model. The profiler uses a set of 15 questions (three items per PERMA domain). In the second phase of research eight additional items were added, which assess overall wellbeing, negative emotion, loneliness, and physical health, resulting in a final 23-item measure. The answers range from 0 ("never") to 10 ("always").[5]
