Abstract: Interest in the problem of psychological well-being is accounted for by the social demand for the quality of human life, the analysis of the subjective need to be satisfied, the feeling of awareness of life filled with meanings and values, their influence on the individual’s functioning in the areas of health, education, activity, etc. The article presents an overview of studies of psychological well-being in the historical aspect. The cyclical nature of changes in the semantic categories of psychological well-being in different eras, beginning with antiquity has been pointed out. The inference about a possible connection between culture, the state value system, and an individual citizen’s psychological well-being has been made. The orientation of public culture to a person and society as the highest values shapes the goals of creating comfortable conditions for people to live and work. It is emphasized that psychological well-being arises in the process of achieving them. Experiences of ill-being are largely associated with the loss of self-worth, the significance of a personality for society, and social deprivation. The review of scientific research has shown that psychological well-being can be considered an indicator of the society and the state development, reflecting the citizens’ striving for self-development, the need to serve the Motherland, family, and children.
