| Abstract: | Designing for subjective well-being with vulnerable communities is a complex and situated process that does not offer a one-size-fits-all solution. This thesis had two main goals: providing a knowledge contribution, and a practical contribution to a foundation. To achieve this, a theoretical study and two case studies have been conducted. This input from theory and practice contributed to better understanding the goals (positive psychology), dilemmas (dilemma-thinking), and everyday challenges (scarcity) that vulnerable groups experience. This led to a theoretical framework that bridges positive psychology, dilemma-thinking, and scarcity theory, supported by the creation of a co-design activity that can be implemented in Stichting FC Twente, Scoren in de Wijk. The co-design activity adopts a strength-based approach (positive psychology) where a personalized (co-design) physical reminder (scarcity) is created that mediates well-being goals through dilemmas (dilemma-thinking) and offers an open moment of reflection when encountered in their day-to-day life. |
