As dichotomy has become a staple research but evidence challenging validity is mounting, comprehensive debate pros, cons, potential future needed. This adversarial review brings together two voices – one supportive, other critical toward model. In constructive dialogue, we summarize contrast our opposing positions: The first position argues that useful framework because it adequately describes how why (more) for well-being. second challenges specifically. Arguments are presented alongside (a) empirical (b) conceptualization, (c) operationalization active particular focus hypothesis. Rather than offering conciliatory summary status quo, goal carve out key points friction in literature through fruitful debate.
