ROMERO CARRASCO, Alicia E.; GARCIA-MAS, Alexandre  and  BRUSTAD, Robert J.. STATE OF THE ART AND CURRENT PERSPECTIVE OF PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING IN SPORT PSYCHOLOGY. rev.latinoam.psicol. [online]. 2009, vol.41, n.2, pp.335-347. ISSN 0120-0534.

Well-being psychology theory (Ryff, 1989) is one of the essential links of positive psychology, which has been mainly framed between two perspectives that explain a model of world and a model of person (Díaz, 2006). Ryff (1989) states her model baptized as "Integrated Model of Personal Development". Considering that sport, and life cycle sport are activities that demand to be strong, to have superior volitive skills, autonomy, be challenging, set up objectives, meet aims, grow as person, adapt to different environments and changes, and for that purpose, establish positive relationship with the others, be healthy and maintain self control, is for that reason we will stop into this concept and the analysis of psychological wellbeing and its involvement in sport, and sport psychology, from Carol Ryff perspective.
