Insight as a dimension of well-being refers to self-knowledge concerning the
manner in which emotions, thoughts, beliefs, and other factors are
shaping one’s subjective experience, and especially one’s sense
of self. States of insight thus reflect an experiential understanding
of one’s own psychological processes and how the dynamic interplay of these processes influences experience.
