Abstract

<p>Objective: Health and Ikigai need to be encouraged. Ikigai is Japanese original well-being. This study posited that a sense of coherence (SOC) and social support were factors affecting local residents’ Ikigai, and this study then verified that conjecture.</p><p>Methods: Subjects were 532 adults over the age of 18 (275 males 44.2 ± 13.7 y, 257 females 41.4 ± 12.7 y). The items studied included Ikigai, SOC, social support.</p><p>Results: SOC (β = 0.285–0.398) and social support from significant others (β = 0.184–0.331) were found to affect individual’s Ikigai.</p><p>Conclusion: SOC and social support from significant others affected individual’s Ikigai. Thus, focusing on enhancement of individual’s SOC and social support (and particularly his or her social support from significant others) may help to enhance individual’s Ikigai.</p>
